We finally started work on our MiniLD#49 (non-human player) submission, it is an underwater Flappy Bird clone for 1-4 players.<\/p>\n

The playable characters are grotesque fishes attempting to avoid the grasping tentacles of predatory cephalopods.<\/p>\n

\"Fish\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The fish\u00a0expand or deflate when the button is depressed \/ released, tapping the button makes the fish incrementally rise in the water, holding the button forces the fish to expand making it move more slowly through the water.<\/p>\n

We have the basic gameplay implemented (excluding the scoring system) but need to finish, texture, and animate the fish model and add the menu and additional sounds.<\/p>\n

\"Flappy<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Flappy<\/a><\/p>\n

We put a short gameplay video on YouTube, the link is Flappy Beasts<\/a>, we will probably make the fish larger (and inflate more) than the placeholder spheres.<\/p>\n
