There's some great looking stuff in this compo so far, I'm really looking forward to playing. And I feel even more behind when I look through all the other blogs :P

I found some time to do some more work this evening, so just another short little update. I've added a basic level, movement, a mini-map, and animations for looking into the heads of the little guys.

A preview of the movement:

Anyway, I plan to do that-other-game-jam this weekend… so I guess I only have three evenings left to get things done. I'll end up spending only as much time on this whole month compo as I would in a 48 hour one :) Think of it as a proof of concept I suppose.

What I hope to add before the deadline:

• At least two different colors of opponents + the color mechanic
• A timer when solving a 'head'
• At least one simple level
• Quick and dirty controls for playing on a tablet
• Simple sounds
• … there's no way I'll make it

Things that would be cool / Things to add after deadline:

• Fully random levels
• Figure out how to actually win/lose the game… this seems important
• Mini-map only showing explored areas
• Lots of little animations and better models
• Powerups, keys and weird collectibles
• Some sort of points system
• Boss battles!
• Music and proper sound

I'll be back on monday!
