🎵 Audio Experience

The game features carefully selected sound effects and background music that enhance the gaming experience. We highly recommend playing with volume turned on for full immersion.

🐞 Known Issues

• Alert popups may repeat when revisiting areas where items were previously collected
• Visual artifacts may remain after collecting keys (clearRect issues)
• Some collision detection edge cases remain to be fixed

🔧 Technical Implementation

The game is built using pure JavaScript, HTML5 Canvas, and CSS. Audio elements are implemented using local sounds.

// Example of player movement implementation
function movePlayer(direction) {
  switch(direction) {
    case 'up':
      if(!checkCollision(player.x, player.y - player.speed)) {
        player.y -= player.speed;
      }
      break;
    // other directions...
  }
  redrawGameElements();
}
