Earth Insider #

A Game By Denis Khatnyuk #

Earth Insider is a game about doing research for a very mysterious group of hungry alien mushroom people! I might clean this page up and make it nicer later, just putting this up here now for reference.

Instructions #

Your goal is to guess the animal. Every second guess you get wrong, more information about the animal gets revealed, as tracked by the bar on the left. Getting it wrong after guessing the animal with part of its name revealed means you lose. Guessing correct means you win!

TODO: #

Balancing - I just scraped all the animals, I should pick a select number of them so that only ones people have a chance of knowing appear.

Also, I don’t like the guessing system as it stands. I think having it be like Spellify, where typing a letter reveals a part of the description/name, and the goal is to guess in as few letters as possible, would be more fun.

The game is half baked, as I was on a time crunch, but I’m still quite proud of the work! Check out the fullscreen version here.

Finally, there could be more flavoring in the world… perhaps animals have a yummyness rating and you want to give true information about all bad to eat animals (say like poisonous frogs) while giving false info about tasty animals… Not sure if that would be fun though.
