Electron (mit-mit)

You play as an electron who lives in the Cathode Ray TUBE of an old television set. By tapping into the magnetic field of the cathode ray tube, you can launch yourself to other television screens: visit and switch on each TV to complete a level.

Requires: pyxel

Game playing notes:

  • Controls are Arrow Keys/ASDW and SPACE (explained in the game)
  • There are three "tutorial" levels, followed by about ten levels: if you get stuck, you can skip to the next level at any time by pressing "N"

Play Online:

"Electron" is built using pyxel (https://github.com/kitao/pyxel) which can convert projects to HTML, so they can be played in the brower.
