This game has some basic combat<\/a> going now.<\/p>\n

First you have to cross along the line of fire of the pirates(who, at least in this incarnation, just shoot in cardinal directions) to get to the ammo.<\/p>\n

Then you have the option of picking them off like a sharpshooter, weaving in and out of their fire line, or blowing up the bombs, which will conveniently chain their explosions. It’s awesome, albeit a bit hard to read with the colored blocks. I think I will go to bed in another hour or two, add a few additional forms of AI to vary things, and then do the level design and polish.<\/p>","time":"April 24th, 2010 10:12 am","title":"Pincer \u2013 bang bang boom ow"}
