The weapon is a selfie stick, the enemies are aliens, and you're picking up fruit. I realize you're going for a retro arcade aesthetic, but it's not appealing to me. It'd be nice to at least have the collectibles be smartphones or photographs, and the enemies grumpy anti-selfie people, or something along those lines."},{"author_name":"FrederickK","author_uid":"11311","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 7:51am","epoch":1429602360,"text":"I disagree from amras.

To that end, I spent a good amount of time on the first day writing the supporting classes and utilities to get the basics of rendering and a mini game framework, and by the end of the day I could render the levels and characters.\r\nThe second day was spent working more on the game content and actual playable stuff.\r\n\r\n\r\nThe first thing which came to mind for 'An unconventional weapon' were the old Japanese arcade games which used parasols and rainbows to attack, and so I decided to try and emulate that. I tried for a Japanese style of bright colors and cute graphics, reminiscent of Bubble Bobble and RodLand.\r\n\r\nHave fun!","title":"Selfie Stick Heroine"}
