I’m on board. 😀

First compo i’m participating, and i’m pulling an all nighter… Twice 😀  If you don’t know what that means, I’m doing a 48 hour long livestream and progress reporting over at twitch.tv/jamesgudge

So here’s what i’ve got:

The game is a western style game, where the main character wields a cactus pitchfork, creating blocks to reach inaccessible areas. when the blocks are being constructed, they disobey physics and float in place, but can be stepped on, but when the construction is completed, they fall to the earth to become part of the terrain, and allowing you to create another structure

the red ball is a bullet the ai is shooting at you, it’s one of the enemies you need to destroy in order to progress.

pitfalls, spikes, traps, and all kinds of things that will murdelize you are on their way.

Cactus explosion….

that aside, blocks are looking way cooler once finalized. 😛

i did a thing; you can build lots of fun stuff now, and it solidifies after you tell it to.

that’s the outline without its physics created by the player at runtime.

and there it is solidified by right clicking.

side note; thinking of calling my game Cactus Chyps and the Spiky Speary.

MEDIA DUMP, because i got bored of programming and decided I was at a comfortable enough position to start doing art work 😀

CACTUS DECOR 😛

The Reprehensible and vengeful Dr.Picklespear

…and his pickle spear….

Levels are restricted based on how many blocks you have left to solve the puzzle, so a chest full of blocks can help your construction a great deal 😀

A western themed game needs a tumbleweed. So here’s a tumbleweed

OMAHGAHD, IT’S THE SPIKY SPEARY!!! The somehow infinitely replicating weapon of our heroine

DEFINITELY not last, our heroine! It’s CACTUS CHYPS!

Seriously, she looks awesome, don’t deny it.

You want to play this.  Just admit it 😉
