Powerups!


I’ve been thinking on how to give powerups to this game cause unlike regular platformer, the playing field is very narrow. After some thought, I got this:

I’ve created two powerups for this game. Both fly from below and can be shot to gain powerup. Blue restores health if shot while Yellow gives score if shot. Yellow flies faster than blue one so it’s not easy to shot it ;)

Maybe I could make spinoff using those powerups :). But I’ll focus on main game first

On other side, I’ve completed first level boss. Phew, it took longer than I thought but it’s done and give decent challenge for first boss

Tomorrow I’ll start making level 2

Slow but sure, I'm still working on the game for Solo Dev jam.

Here are more early shots from the game:

There are many games which inspired me to make my own games. The biggest inspiration is Contra Hardcorps.

I love run 'n' guns such as Contra and Gunstar Heroes. I'll always come back to any of these.

I've decided to expand select screen I've made 2 years ago to show that it can hold more options. However I'd need more bosses so I made 2 more

I also changed one boss fight to have 2 bosses at once also

I make games because I love playing games and I'd like to make my own. And I have made many games since I've started my game dev journey.

My game for Solo Dev Jam 5 has been shaping up nicely with levels, enemies and abilities.

Here are more early shots from the game:

Another boss has been created and it has its own stage too

That allows me to expande stage select to hold 4x3 icons for all bosses + 1 bonus stage
