Don't Get Hit By The DVD Logo

How to play

Use WASD or the arrow keys to move. Collect Gamer Coins™ or let the DVD logos bounce to increase your score. But don't get hit, or else it's all over!

Known Artistic Statements

• DVD logos may have an initial direction perpendicular to a wall, which causes them to bounce in a not-very-interesting pattern.
  • This isn't a result of randomly choosing a vector from the range [0, tau] and failing to omit "boring" ranges of angles. It is actually a metaphor for the unpredictability of life.
• When playing the game with more than one DVD logo, the DVD logos may spawn inside of each other, causing themselves to collide every frame, raising the score incredibly quickly.
  • Some may think this is because I programmed the game to randomly chooses a starting position for each DVD logo, and was too lazy to ensure they did not overlap. This is untrue. The behavior meant to reflect how humans are dealt unequal hands in life. Most have to overcome many hurdles in order to have a chance at success, whereas a lucky few are born into circumstances that benefit them greatly.
• A short clip of the audio may play repeatedly when moving from the main menu to gameplay or vice versa.
  • This is not a weird quirk of the HTML build, but instead a commentary on the cyclic nature of the average worker's life.
