what the hell kind of game can I make that fits this theme?

-simearth kinda game

-game where you gather traits and must reproduce to carry on those traits to the next level

-pokemans

I don’t know what kind of game I will be making yet, but I am familiar with the tools I’ll be using.

A friend of mine is working on a game engine using lua, so I thought I would make another game in it.

Here is the first game that I made in a couple of hours to test it out.

Decided to go with Love2D since I had an existing codebase and a map making tool to go with.

I only have four map styles implemented but I may add more if I have time before the end of the compo.

Each time you exit the screen it takes you to another map that is randomly selected based on how you left the previous map.

I think I might finish this!

If anyone is wanting to try out my game, I have updated it based on some feedback and fixed a few glitches that I missed when I was half-awake. It’s now even more playable then before! and the help menu doesn’t crash everything!! hurray!
