I’ve changed the header to something more… generic. Trust me. I’ll change it back later.
Also, I’ve disabled ratings since the game’s incomplete at the moment. …and trust me, it’s coming. I’m working on the last few levels. To keep you satisfied, though, I’ll try to give some updates as to how it’s going here and there.
…let’s start with a new screenshot, shall we?

The First Two Bosses
I don't know if I went too far, or not far enough. The hand-clamps work, but that's not being demonstrated here.
Despite anything resembling better judgment, and this not going into any demos, I decided to implement a swinging mechanic.
I got it working. You can control the swing (loosely), and can stretch and retract the arm. It even adds a bit of momentum.
Sometimes, the hardest thing when designing a boss is scaling its AI and collision boxes so the player actually stands a chance.
That being said, Clampor's finally implemented, ready to take on this little stretchy lady.
I figured out an easier way to program arranging angles on a rig.
It involves choosing which body part to move, then using the mouse to calculate an angle.
Namely, angle= point_direction(x, y, mouse_x, mouse_y).
What a bunch of clowns.
First you draw parts, then program a rig for animation.
I need to work on the "What does this guy actually do" part.
This should help speed up the process.
...no guarantees, but until I have an official level-select menu, this'll do.
Why, yes, programming an elephant IS hard. Making its eyes blue is a lot easier, but I'm not doing that.
I also had to make sure it's a robot elephant, specifically, because this is a robot circus, and it's unethical to use real elephants.
Updated HUD, HP system, and other collectibles! (including the bunnies)
