Last LD was my first, and I barely finished on time. This time, my goal is to have time for better art than basic geometric shapes and some music. I’ll be sticking with what I know on the programming side and trying different tools for art and music.
Tools:
I wanted the gameplay to be unconventional as a result of the weapon, so I eventually settled on this idea:
Firing globs of liquid that freezes enemies on contact. The enemies unfreeze after a few seconds, so the only way to kill them is to have frozen enemies collide with each other. I haven’t decided if I want the player to remain stationary or not.
So far, I have enemies spawning, approaching, and freezing, but not colliding yet.
No screenshots for now because my programmer art is a bunch of rectangles. Hopefully, I will finish the core mechanics early enough to spend time on the art.
