So I\u2019m doing that Gamejolt Let\u2019s Player jam thing. Since it doesn\u2019t have a similar blag system and the interface is garbage and I don\u2019t know anyone there, I\u2019ll blag about it over here.<\/p>\n<p>So\u00a0as the gif shows, you\u2019re in for some next level dodging in an arena\u00a0that keeps shifting around you. Don\u2019t fall out or get crushed. This part of it is just about complete, but I can always tinker with the controls and try to rid of some collision quirks.<\/p>\n<p>I knew I\u2019d struck gold with\u00a0this idea cause it seems kinda unique for relatively little work\u00a0and\u00a0I\u2019m already having fun replaying it. Early playtesters\u00a0seemed to find it addictive.<\/p>\n<p>Next up is\u00a0some variety in the form of upgrades and moving enemies, perhaps. At some point, you\u2019ve got to clear out the shifting blocks to maintain a survivable state. And since\u00a0I just bought a new keyboard with jams in mind, you bet it\u2019s gonna have fitting music too.<\/p>\n<p>Oh right,\u00a0I\u2019ve also gotta jam in the Gamejolt API for high scores,\u00a0which is kind of the point of the event. Turns out making a game\u00a0like this is\u00a0a neat and\u00a0relaxing\u00a0bit of twiddling in the middle of my recently\u00a0busy life, and doubles\u00a0as LD preparation.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not gonna be a tease, <a href=\"http:\/\/gamejolt.com\/games\/footh0ld\/80530\">you can\u00a0playtest it, too.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/inter-website-diplomacy\/\" rel=\"tag\">inter-website diplomacy<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/vidio-geims\/\" rel=\"tag\">vidio geims<\/a><\/p>","time":"July 18th, 2015 1:13 pm","title":"A sneeze from another dimension","title_was_empty":false}
