Moai
Note from developer: It is highly recommended you play the downloadable executable for Windows if you are able to. If you must play the browser version, please ensure to enable hardware acceleration and play in full screen.
Play as an up and coming Anthropologist and explore Rapa Nui (Easter Island)! Rip around Rapa Nui on your scooter, take photos of the Moai (Easter Island Heads), learn from ancient writings, and discover who carved each Moai!
Moai is based around the theme: Mode. This game uses the statistical interpretation of Mode: "A value that appears most often in a data set." In Moai, players will study the facial features of each Moai and sort them into one of three groups: Hotu Iti, Koro Orongo, or Miru. These 3 groups are three of the historical families from ancient Rapa Nui. After sorting, the group associated with the most Moai (The Mode), are then determined to have been the most influential historical family on Rapa Nui. A massive discovery for the historical community!
Moai was built for the Big Mode Game Jam of 2023 by Ryan Throw.

why make version keybrod?
I'm sorry, it was built for a game jam and I ran out of time before I could get keyboard and mouse controls in. There will be a future update next year which will address this. Thanks!
ok wait for next version
A very chill puzzle game, more complicated than you might initially think given the size. A good way to pass an hour or two and zooming on the scooter is fun even if you aren't doing anything else.
