If you didn’t see my original post, it’s basically a twin stick shooter where you can receive bonuses and power-ups from whatever colour you ‘pick’ from under you (with stacked bonuses if you get an R/G/B mix).

Ran into a few obstacles yesterday – struggled with Slick2D’s gamepad support and thought about making it single player only. That’s pretty much fixed now, so it should have a 1P or 2P option (a simple AI is already coded). To top it all off I quickly developed a bad cold! I considered sleeping and pulling out of LD48 but… I’m determined!

Still to do:

Sound, music, menu/title screen, add the ability to shoot on the 360 controller and check for connected controllers (not sure how to do this yet!), perhaps make the visual style more interesting if I have time.
