It's been a while since I posted something here. I think it's safe to say that I finished my Defender-style level set in Bonaire. I had to learn new things and put in a lot of work to get things right, but it's finally here.

I've been continuing work on my Defender level, and I made a change to the map so players can get a better view of their surroundings. While doing so, I thought that it might be better to have the map on the bottom rather than the top. What do you think?

It took a while, but I've finally been able implement a checkpoint system into Tropi.

Added a new enemy and item for my Defender-inspired level. Let me know what you think of the designs and animations. Are they good? Bad? An abortion?

I'm currently working on a level in the same vain as Defender or Fantasy Zone. It took a while, but I was finally able to get the controls and basic fundamentals working. Let me know what you think.

Updated a money bag explosion animation. Thoughts?

It's been a while since I posted something here, but I finally implemented gamepad support in Tropi with full analog movement.

I changed the way enemies leave behind coins after getting killed. Let me know what you think. Is it better or worse?

First gif is the new version.

Second gif is the old version.

I’ve been thinking of changing the way enemies leave behind coins after dying. Tell me if this is a good idea or not- the coins fall to the ground and disappear after doing so, giving the player a small amount of time to grab them.

It's been a while since I posted something. Here's an animated sprite I made of a money bag exploding? Thoughts? Anything I can do to improve it?
