Entropy - New Game Out Now

A few days ago, I released a game I'd been sitting on for a while: Entropy. To quote the description:

Entropy is a game that takes place in multiple energy levels of a single room. Fight ever more powerful monsters in this dungeon-crawler-with-a-twist. Now with complete mobile support: consider adding it to your home screen! Made for LD37.

In an isolated system, entropy can only increase.

So, I made this game for the most recent Ludum Dare that I did around 6 months ago. I didn't feel it was quite ready to release and I wanted to fix it up first. Well, I never really got around to that until a few days ago, during break, in which I did a lot of work, especially on making it work on mobile.

It almost works on mobile. The really hard part is convincing mobile browsers to go fullscreen, or minimize their UI. As of now, the only way to do it on Entropy is to Add it to your Home Screen, through the browser UI. When you do so, it shows up like an app and actually plays quite well! However, no one is going to do that. So I'm trying to figure out the fullscreen API for it. I had it working pretty well on Android, but then I decided to use the Phaser API for it and broke it. So I need to work on it a little more. Unfortunately, I'm suuuper busy over the next [forever] so I'm not sure when I'll get to it. So I released it anyway and it plays well on desktop, pretty well on mobile, and great on mobile if you add it to your home screen.

So, yeah, anyway, go ahead and play it now.
