You know, as much experience as I have with 2D games in the Flash world I am still relatively new to it using Unity3D, and it’s not as though the tool is actually created with the intention of facilitating a 2D game experience. \u00a0This would be why people tend to write and sell their own implementations.<\/p>\n
That said, I’ve done a few very simple games in the past six months and I think I could make one of comparable scale in the 48 hours listed. \u00a0The theme sounded challenging at first, but I think I have a reasonably nice concept:<\/p>\n
“The Hug-Monster (-o^_^)-o can never get enough love or hugs, and is always happy to see you. \u00a0Unfortunately, it’s a little too excitable and at times doesn’t seem to know its own strength.<\/p>\n
You \u00a0on the other hand (1) are small and fragile, and most definitely want nothing more than to be left alone, especially from the big, scary Hug-monster!<\/p>\n
How long can you avoid its warm, snuggly, and loving arms of death? \u00a0Find out in this classic platformer!”<\/p>\n
