Quick start
The object of the game is to get as many orbs into the altar as you can in 2 minutes.
You have two wands to help you do this: attractor and repeller. The attractor
attracts orbs toward you and the repeller pushes orbs away from you.
Choose a seed by typing a number in the Seed field, and then choose
an altar by clicking on the corresponding button in the altars list.
You can start playing by clicking anywhere in the game screen.
You may want to choose a different place to start from. If this is the case, just move to your
desired position and restart the game. Your position will be remembered.
Random seeds
By default, the emulator chooses a random seed between 0 and 199 inclusive every time the page loads.
To generate a new seed, refresh the page.
If you want the webpage to generate a random seed in a different range, you can do so by
modifying the smin and smax parameters in the address bar. The smin parameter is
the inclusive lower bound for the random number, and the smax parameter is the exclusive upper bound.
Saving your game
When an altar is over, you have the option to save the game in this site's records by clicking
the Save this game button. Don't worry about whether you got the best
score you could have.
You can always retry the altar for a better score. The hiscores will only use
your best score for any particular seed and altar.
What if I make a mistake?
You can keep playing, if you want to simulate playing an actual game of GOP.
However, at some point you will want to try to maximize your score. If you make a mistake,
you can click the -10 ticks button to go back 10 ticks and
try to correct it.
