Well, I think I may actually participate in a Ludum Dare for once. I’ve been playing around with Unity lately, and I think a 2D side-scrolling puzzler wouldn’t be too bad to start with. I’d like to utilize a built-in power up system in the form of “Avatars.” Basically, the player can switch between various characters, things like a little girl, an artist, a doctor, or a lumberjack, but each has their “inner self” thats beneath the surface. Things like the little girl secretly being a monster, and so upon activation she can deal lots of damage, or scare enemies away, that sort of thing.

Im just wondering if this might be too ambitious. The idea really grips me, and seems like a fun twist on the classic side-scrolling puzzler, similar to something like Braid or Nihilumbra but I just hope I can actually deliver on it.

EDIT: Please feel free to leave comments. I’d love to hear what ya’ll think.
