Weekly Update 9: Pound the Ground

Game

Super Skelemania

9 years ago

Hey guys, today I have another new mechanic to show off: ground pound! Ground pound is another mechanic that I originally wanted to put in Skelemania, but just couldn’t find a place for it. In Super Skelemania however, it fits like a charm. It should be a very satisfying way to squash enemies and break through blocks.

See you next week!

EDIT: I realized that I recorded the gif at a lower frame-rate than normal, so I’ve now updated it. Sorry!

I'm currently making a Tetris + Mahjong hybrid game called #Nojong. Match colored blocks in the field to make clears. After a number of clears, the blocks left in your hand are scored, so you want to try and keep triples and quadruples in your hand.

I'm developing a new commercial game with a small team! A demo will be coming to steam soon, but you can wishlist it in the meantime if you're into deckbuilding / autobattlers / roguelikes!

For some reason, it's really hard to change the alpha value of a tile layer in GameMaker. You can do this easily for sprite or instance layers, but not tile layers. So here's a video on how to easily update the alpha value of tile layers in real time.
