After getting home from a long day’s work you realize you left your piping hot, delicious coffee up on some scaffolding. But as you leave your house you are accosted by gigantic roaches. You can’t let the roaches have your coffee, so you whip out your trusty automatic rifle and run to retrieve your beverage.
This week I tried to make a standard platformer/shooter. I was inspired by games like Cave Story for some of the controls. Things I would have liked to do, but didn’t have time for, include:
- Music
- Flying enemies
- A larger level
- Power ups/multiple weapons
Confession time, I left finishing this ’till pretty much the last minute, so I didn’t take much time to polish or ramp the difficulty. I’m pretty happy with how this turned out though. Give it a play and let me know what you think.
Arrows to move/aim, Z to jump, X to shoot
Well done! More challenging than I was expecting… I died twice. 🙂 Maybe the enemies should have some feedback to show you that they’re taking damage?
I’m not sure that this is *really* a win though… His delicious hot coffee is no longer delicious and hot.
I’m impressed and interested in trying a similar challenge! I have been doing a similar weekly thing, though not related to games, for the past few years. I would like to try out doing what you are doing. Keep it up!
