I have noticed and am fully aware of the similarities between my Robot Maid game and my previous Ninja games.

It shouldn't hurt to lean into it, but not go too far. It should still have its own identity.

What this guy has to do with both, figure it out.

More BG layers, more garbage.

Maybe I should throw in a few towers of cars into the background.

Still shaping out that junkyard.

The sky is a dirty green, the background is a painful quilt of grayness to draw, and the ground is still made of fruitcake.

Strangely enough, of all the games I've made .exes of, this is the one that STILL works on my current computer. And sometimes, I realize I made some poor decisions in game design with this one.

If you don't know what a junkyard looks like, you could end up with a street paved with fruitcake, walls made of allegedly compressed garbage, and broken cars.

Real junkyards aren't as interesting as Toy Story 3 and The Brave Little Toaster like to show.

If you don't want to buy a scanner or want to manually scale things down to 320 x 240, there's always Flipnote Studio. (...maybe.)

Drag the little box to the bottom-left, then take photos of your black-and-white ink work.

Of course old-fashioned robots end up in the junkyard.

They aren't gonna be used in the convention level, so it's fitting here.

Also, the giant floating magnets and bulldozers don't discriminate. They harm all robots.

Well, I was looking through some old files, and found some cool stuff.

Ever since the first boss, I've had graphics for this bulldozer.

Junkyards have bulldozers, and all sorts of old robots.

So, I'm putting the bulldozer in the junkyard as a minor enemy, as well as unused GFX from the scrapped convention level.

Understood?

If you need a sciencey explanation for how a giant magnet can float, it's the same way cars float: little rapidly-spinning magnets.

It doesn't make much sense in reality, but I'm sticking with this story.
