Mirrorisk

Remember playing Risk when you were a kid? What if you could recreate the feeling of excitement mixed with the frustration when the dice roll a bunch of 1s? Look no further — Mirrorisk is your (not) favorite board game, as a video game, playable right here in the browser. Except it's not exactly how you remember it.

Play the board game classic on a weirdly familiar yet uncomfortable map of the Mirrored Earth. West is East and East is West in this virtual cardboard rendition of the 1957 Risk. The rules have changed, too: the game ends the first time a player is eliminated, so be sure to protect the underdogs before you take the lead!

Mirrorisk is a submission to Gamedev.js 2021 Jam. The theme of the jam was mirror.

Changelog

v1.1

New Features

  • Added the UI to configure the game.
    • You can now choose between 2 and 5 players, pick team colors and names.
    • It's now possible to play a hot seat game with other people.
    • It's also possible to host an AI-only game.
  • Added support for touch interfaces. The UI is optimized for tablets; mobile form-factors are not supported.
  • You can now end the deployment phase before deploying all units.

Bug fixes and other improvements

  • Optimized textures to reduce the size of the game from 24 MB to 10 MB.
  • Optimized spatial audio panners for much better performance in the late game when there are many units on the board.
  • Fixed the freeze that happened when the user misclicked on another unit when giving orders to an army.
  • Fixed issues with the mouse wheel which zoomed the game and scrolled the parent itch.io page at the same time.
  • Fixed a bug which caused accidental deploys when the user clicked buttons in the UI.
  • Fixed the singular forms of nouns like army and territory, when the count is 1.
