For a while it seemed like I wouldn’t be able to get anything finished this weekend, as I was busy all Saturday, but for some reason fate decided to smile upon me and now here I am with a finished game.<\/p>\n

You can’t step out of my way so we must fight<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

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

YCSOOMWSWMF is a two player game about one dimensional sumo wrestlers who must push the other out of the way.<\/p>\n

When I first saw the theme was minimalism, I almost immediately thought about making a one-dimensional game, although at the time I was thinking more along the lines of a dungeon crawler or shooter (which, I would have called “Corridor shooter”), but I realised that these ideas would end up being a lot of effort for not very fun game, which led to this.\u00a0 I haven’t had a chance to do much play-testing (room mates don’t like being woken up late at night so that they can play against you in a game you made).<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, due to obvious time constraints I didn’t get to polish the game much.\u00a0 Over the next week I will probably improve the graphics (although I will definitely keep their one-dimensional nature), tweak gameplay and add sounds and music.<\/p>\n

I’m surprised you’ve kept reading this far, the link’s up there!<\/p>\n
