Platonic Dot Solid – Submission

dilemma

Wow, so I think I’m really happy with my submission. I wasn’t even planning on taking part my second time around, but having the JAM really allowed me to relax more compared to my first LD48. The result is a gem which I’m always going to be proud of. The character I ended up going with is Dot Solid. I originally designed him long ago, but his name was Sucre and he was going to go on an adventure through the kitchen as a sugar cube, but this theme really made it possible for me to do more than just sit on the idea. It was a match made in heaven.

The funny and coincidental thing about the game being affectionately titled after Metal Gear is that when I needed an end boss battle, I just ended up combining all the platforming obstacles into a creature that resembles Metal Gear Rex. Serendipity?! I think so.

ENJOY!
