Left clicking lets the player boost temporarily and creates a ghost trail that changes the direction of bullets that pass through it to the direction of the player. So basically you are invincible and can manipulate bullets when boosting, but are vulnerable when in normal mode. I think I&#8217;ll include a simple level up system to increase the size and length of the ghost boost as you progress. Gotta fix my wall collisions first though&#8230;<\/p>\n \n <p>Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/juhkystar\/\" rel=\"tag\">juhkystar<\/a><\/p>","time":"August 20th, 2010 10:16 pm","title":"Basic Player Mechanics and First Enemy."}
