It's getting closer to being finished.

Even though the 2.5D gimmick was only for that one level, I see no reason to not use it for this boss fight.

As mentioned before, I've got a little variable called ScrewIt for testing purposes.

At the end of the level, we'll see this wall, followed by a sequence leading up to the level's boss.

...IIIIIN SPAAAAAACE!

It helps to draw another angle. Can't say it's great, but if this thing is launching into space, another angle helps make the sequence work.

I'm getting close in the rigging department. I might need to adjust how the shoulders work, but it's getting there.

There. MUCH better.

In The Future, space jets come with their own air-to-space rockets, and consume less liquid fuel. They might need to drop the rocket fuel tank, but at least it's not a giant cylinder. It's a big wedge instead.

...yes, it's small, but I decided that the boss for the second-to-last level should be inspired by the final from Mischief Makers.

Sadly, there are only so many ways to draw a mech's head, and Megazords take too many cues from Transformers.

I didn't want to work on that one boss, so I'm working on the scoring system. Yes, I'm gonna dock points for losing lives.

As for why the old convention level's in the background, it's the easiest level to test.

...and here's the wind-up frame.

It only appears for four frames, and each animation state has its own proprietary wind-up setup, so the animation continues to flow.

Also, now I have incentive for guns, but probably need a fourth button for punches only.
