Amsterdammit

Home is right there across the water. The bridge is up. Dammit.

So you walk the long way round: bike lanes, one-way streets, tram rails and canals, one hop at a time, through Amsterdam at night.

• Cars stop at the zebra
• Bike are supposed to
• Boats will carry you across the canal
• Watch out for the fatbikes!
• Sound recommended!

The clock runs from your first hop to your front door. Dying only costs time: you're back on the last curb to try that stretch again. Get home, post your time to the board, then come back and beat it!

The long way home

Made solo in six days for GoedWare Game Jam #17. The HUD shows how far home is vs how far you've actually walked. 

Pixel art, sound design and code are mine. The music is real Dutch barrel organs. Claude Code helped me talk through design, review code and write the odd scaffold. Sounds  and fonts are royalty-free and credited below and in CREDITS.md inside the game.
