It’s called “Professor Power and Powerbot”.

I’ve been a bit less communal this time I’m afraid.  Few blog posts, no screen capture and less reading of other peoples posts than usual.  Sorry about that, will make up for it when it comes to rating!

I’m pretty happy with this entry :)  It contains a lot more polish than my previous entries and it’s nice to get away from the pixel art motif I usually end up with.  It seems to chug a bit on a Mac but otherwise it runs fairly well.

It’s all written in Javascript using the canvas element.  I used Sublime Text 2 for editing, Chrome for debugging, Inkscape for graphics, bfxr for sound and Sunvox for the music.  Sunvox was awesome, I hope no one is too annoyed at my clunky music (you can turn it off in the game).

I made a level editor this time.  It’s one of those things that you think will consume more time to build than it will save but in this case it worked great.  I think it helped with design immensely.

There’s some really tricky and (I hope fun) gameplay in there.  Whilst I’m not a huge fan of HTML/javascript etc. it was great for quickly hacking together the editor.

Anyway here’s my entry

Here’s the source

And here’s the game.
