You don't get stuck on islands anymore, but you might bounce violently off them. It's at http:\/\/selenetan.com\/dump\/ludumdare17\/201004262336 .\r\n\r\nThis is a game about being an Aspidochelone ( http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Aspidochelone ), or Asp-Turtle. Swim around and eat fish to get bigger. Ram ships when they're smaller than you to get the stuff inside. If you're big enough (there will be a peach square on your back), you can pick up people who will shoot ships for you.\r\n\r\nIt's not very complete. With about 18 hours to go, I tossed out flixel and decided to write my own game framework and physics engine from scratch.\r\n\r\nEdit: Whoa my entry disappeared, even though the screenshots remained... Weird!<\/p>","title":"Life-Cycle of the Great Asp Turtle"}
