About This Project

Hi GameDev community! 👋

I recently finished developing my very first HTML5 game as a solo indie dev, and I wanted to share it with you all to get some honest feedback. It's called Fold War.

It’s a digital recreation of the classic "pen-and-paper" war game many of us used to play hidden in the back of the classroom.

🎮 How it works:

  • Deployment: You deploy your army (tanks, ships, jets) on your half of the screen.

  • Attack Mechanic: You draw target dots on your side, and click "Attack!". The screen literally "folded" in half to transfer your hits to the enemy's side.

  • Strict Hits: Only exact hits on the vehicle bounds count. Friendly fire is also active!

  • Game Modes: Solo (vs AI), Practice, and real-time Online Multiplayer (built using PeerJS & Firebase).

  • Special Abilities: Hitting mystery boxes unlocks abilities like Shields, Double Taps, and Unit Restoration.

Since this is my very first project, I built it mainly to learn the ropes of web game development and real-time multiplayer syncing.

I would absolutely love to hear your thoughts on the mechanics, the UI, or any bugs you might find. Thank you for your time! 🚀
