Then you have to collect the purple pixels, while avoid the red ones. Doing so will level up your character, and you&#8217;ll become a 2 pixel object, then a 3 pixel object, etc..<\/p>\n <p>The purple pixels are moving randomly, the red ones will chase you, if you get too close to them. The player leaves a fading trail (without that the game looks a bit laggy..), that makes the level 1 player look like some kind of snake. You have two bar, a red one, that shows the xp level, and a white one, that shows the &#8220;saturation&#8221; level (you are a colored pixel after all..). If you collide with red pixels, you&#8217;ll lose saturation. If you&#8217;ve lost all saturation, you die (or maybe you&#8217;ll level down&#8230;).<\/p>\n <p>Now I&#8217;ll make some new pixels and bigger objects, and then maybe I&#8217;ll make a zoom out effect after 4 levels or so (so you&#8217;ll see more area around you as you level up)<\/p>\n <p>Oh, and have a nice compo\/jam for you guys. ^^<\/p>\n <p><a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Ld312.png\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-415682\" src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Ld312-300x175.png\" alt=\"Level 1 char\" width=\"300\" height=\"175\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n <div id=\"attachment_415683\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/chara.png\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-415683\" src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/chara-300x175.png\" alt=\"This is a level 7 char\" width=\"300\" height=\"175\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">This is a level 7 char<\/p><\/div>\n <div id=\"attachment_415684\" style=\"width: 247px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/entiregame.png\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-415684\" src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/entiregame-237x300.png\" alt=\"This was my first thought after I saw the theme.\" width=\"237\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">This was my first thought after I saw the theme.<\/p><\/div>","time":"December 7th, 2014 11:34 am","title":"Progress so far"}
