October Dots

Minigame

Interactive

HTML/CSS/JS

An interactive minigame that functions on an infinite loop. There is a light and dark mode, simulating a role-playing experience. The theme of the game is Halloween inspired due to the project taking place in late October.

Overview

October Dots is a minimalist puzzle game inspired by Halloween and the month of October. The goal is to click on the orange dots to move the experience forward. It's a relaxing yet engaging experience that combines visual design with user experience.

Objective

This project is meant to be an interactive experience with a simple color palette. The limited use of color and simple interface allows players to focus on the current puzzle presented. Including a light and dark mode for the puzzles gives the user navigational autonomy.
