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

\u00a0<\/p>\n

We\u2019re working on a weird little game we\u2019re calling Alphanauts \u2013 it\u2019s a game where you try to protect a bunch of characters from black holes that appear at random. You select a character by pressing its letter key on the keyboard and you move him with the arrow keys. You can, although it\u2019s a little fidgety, control more than one character by holding a bunch of letter keys at once!<\/p>\n

When a character dies, he explodes and leaves a bunch of black holes behind. The crazy thing we\u2019re doing for the You Are the Villain theme, is that if you press the letter of a character that died, say, \u201cG\u201d, a skeleton comes out of the black hole where \u201cG\u201d died and starts running after you, so your characters become the villains when they die. It started out as something a little closer to the theme, but this is what we ended up with!<\/p>\n

Right now, we\u2019re working on polish and tutorials, hopefully the game will make sense to players!<\/p>\n

This is being made by Dom2D, Technobeanie and Seventy-Sevian!<\/p>\n
