Slacker
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
Slacker is a clone/parody of the popular arcade game Stacker_, in which
|
|
you must stack blocks to the top of the screen in order to win the game.
|
|
Boxes will move back and forth at varying speeds. Press Space
|
|
to stop the boxes and move on to the next row. Only boxes that have
|
|
something underneath them will be stacked. As the tower rises, the game
|
|
will make your tower thinner. You win a minor prize at the 10th level
|
|
(the blocks change color), and if you reach the 15th level, you will win
|
|
the major prize. Good luck!
|

|
|
This game and the above description was originally written by Clint
|
|
and Jennifer Herron. I forked the game to improve the codebase,
|
|
make it more similar to the arcade game and hopefully add more features.
