STRIKEOUT!

a simple but fast-paced minigame that progressively gets more intense. play with a simple 3x3 grid as you quickly hit the wasd keys and the spacebar whenever squares light up. overview: the center square shows your inputs. as the orthogonally adjacent squares will light up, and you must quickly press the corresponding button when they do! if the corner squares light up, hit the spacebar. a strikeout can also occur, when it does, rapidly hit wasd for points, and then the spacebar for a STRIKEOUT! but don't make any mistakes... because just one can make you lose! i came up with the concept for this game while watching a gameplay video of a rhythm game... i thought about how i might go about making it and realized it really wouldn't be super complicated to make! so i challenged myself to make the game a reality. my gratitude for the music for intensities 2-5, the tracks are by creo who you can check out here: https://www.youtube.com/@CreoMusic/videos
