Made My First Farcade Game + First Time Participating in a Farcade Game Jam
<small><sub>🇪🇸 Versión en español abajo</sub></small>

## <center>Hey Hive!</center>

I want to share with you the game I created for the Doodle Game Jam hosted on the Farcast ecosystem!

# <center>CAT KING DEFENDERS</center>

<center>![Honeycam 2025-06-03 16-02-44.gif](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/rama-dev/23xAggNHx61jNhnMLhjpCbbh3ax2hxm262u5ETaBcGKBBJBGRAYSEDEtDi6rDbwTsynLc.gif)</center>

I was notified by @web-gnar that a new game jam was happening, so I decided to join and try out Farcade's game creation system.

I had just a few days to build the game, so there wasn’t much time to brainstorm or animate sprites. Since we had to use the assets they provided, I thought of a few concepts and the one I liked the most was using those sprites to make a *Plants vs. Zombies*-style game.

#### <center>I picked these sprites as my plants:</center>

<center>
<p align="center">

</p>
</center>

#### <center>And these ones as my zombies:</center>

</p>
</center>

Then I saw this cat sprite and decided to place a crown on it (also provided as an asset). So, the goal of the game became to **protect the king as long as you can!**

<center>

</center>

As mentioned, time was limited and the whole game had to be made in a single HTML file, including JS and CSS. So I kept things simple with 4 different plant units, each with its own cost and ability.

</center>

There are two types of enemies:  
- A tank enemy, with more health but slower  
- A basic enemy, with normal speed and damage

I also created a logo, a background, and picked sounds and music that fit the theme. Here are a few gameplay shots:

There are still a few days left to continue adding polish, but I prefer to leave it as is. I’m really happy with how it turned out.

It’s the first time I’ve coded a full game directly in JS, so I did a lot of *vibe coding* while trying to understand what I was doing. It was also my first time building and uploading a game to Farcade, so that whole process was new to me too.

Hope you give it a try and let me know what you think in the comments!

## <center>¡Hola Hive!</center>

¡Quiero compartir con ustedes el juego que creé para Doodle Game Jam en el ecosistema Farcast!

# <center>CAT KING DEFENDERS</center>

<center>![Honeycam 2025-06-03 16-02-44.gif](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/rama-dev/23xAggNHx61jNhnMLhjpCbbh3ax2hxm262u5ETaBcGKBBJBGRAYSEDEtDi6rDbwTsynLc.gif)</center>

Fui avisado por **web-gnar** de que se estaba llevando a cabo una nueva game jam, así que decidí participar para probar el sistema de creación de juegos de Farcade.

Tenía pocos días para crear el juego, así que no tuve mucho tiempo para pensar la idea y tampoco para ponerme a animar sprites. Como se tenía que usar arte que ellos te proporcionaban, pensé en algunas ideas y la que más me gustó fue usar estos sprites para hacer un juego estilo *Plantas vs Zombies*.

#### <center>Elegí estos sprites como mis plantas:</center>

<center>
<p align="center">
<img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/rama-dev/23zbULjKwVH3xbFdbfyxheD9HGeGE9n7oae8HbH78BgwtVkrw61veXWAtQe1rcoF68ZfZ.png" width="50%" />
<img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/rama-dev/23x1DAXmFVpxCqPJofvzyQU2mgp5WkqXM6Xc3Z6xkUXT16atSkNTgEy5dEeCiYfZuSs19.png" width="50%" />
</p>
<p align="center">
<img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/rama-dev/23yweX4JpvpJ5s3HK8tNma6wGGc9XN739XxEkwEzV9Wj1FVmmHcguqLGKdBD4MXzPht36.png" width="50%" />
<img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/rama-dev/23z73PqTsVb4kaLzppWL7bbcRtUcV5nKpkuZ4jDNZivQNMyEQB8j8MTj3NnnE1afDbU7i.png" width="50%" />
</p>
</center>

#### <center>Y estos sprites como mis zombies:</center>

<center>
<p align="center">
<img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/rama-dev/23tvY12fyvVxrG4DyBBDA8TiVpJvPS1A5YSBY4rqDd7TAVDDjZ7AXJYV6oCG5MSq4j2Ea.png" width="50%" />

</p>
</center>

También vi este gatito y decidí colocarle la corona (que también estaba entre los assets). Así, el objetivo del juego es defender al rey ¡lo más que puedas!

<center>
![cat-king.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/rama-dev/23xVRCiNvbKeSLkdBeekfNeyLjiiFN8hEYcsKP2edkF5dXc1YR61HjZvMtqoN7jCvkrmb.png)
</center>

Como dije, no tenía mucho tiempo y además todo el juego se tenía que crear en un solo archivo HTML con el JS y CSS en el mismo archivo. Por eso preferí mantener las mecánicas simples y no extender demasiado el juego. Tenés 4 opciones de plantas, cada una con sus habilidades y su coste.

<center>
![Screenshot_26.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/rama-dev/23u6WMuemeTAohxBoWKCfurQQ9X1gLLgP7EBUfX2V2hxNN7ZSWpnCE1tdgQAFGjhPzt4N.png)

</center>

De enemigos hay dos tipos:  
- Uno tanque, con más vida pero más lento  
- Otro más básico, con vida y ataque normales

También creé un logo para el juego, un background y busqué sonidos y música que quedaran bien con la temática. Acá dejo algunas imágenes del gameplay para que puedan verlo.

## <center>🎮 [¡JUGALO ACÁ EN FARCADE!](https://play.farcade.ai/?gameId=7fd080e4-751e-4d9e-a95c-30f869a8a8d2) 👑</center>

Todavía quedan algunos días en los que podría seguir sumándole cosas, pero prefiero dejarlo así porque estoy muy conforme con el resultado final. Nunca había codeado un juego directamente en JS, así que hice mucho *vibe coding*, aunque tratando de entender lo que estaba haciendo. Tampoco había creado juegos en Farcade, por lo que todo el proceso de subida del juego era nuevo para mí. Ya con eso, estoy más que satisfecho.

¡Ojalá puedan probarlo y cuéntenme qué les parece en los comentarios!  
Gracias por leer. ¡Hasta el próximo post!

i used HTML,CSS and JavaScript since is has to be an only page game. I think Unity is not supported and i don't know if it will support a JS framework like PhaseJS, PixiJS or KontraJS
What do you use?
