Title: Battle for Planet Goonob
Post by: KommanderKlobb on February 25, 2011, 02:49:12 AM
Trying to finish this off now / en route to GDC. It's a game Ashley Gwinnell and I made at a gamejam in London earlier this year.

It's a shooter. Both players autofire right. They kill waves of enemies which drop pickups, worth big points.(http://)

But tiles are constantly teleporting in and out which affect the bullets: mirrors reflect them, and T-junctions duplicate more..  

Players can be killed by their own shots (and each-others), but only once they've hit a tile (i.e. they can't shoot each other directly).

The idea is that you get ever-shifting grid networks of shots, which players must get through to collect pickups.

Here's an early screenshot (it's actually much further on than this - just making a thread now so I'm ready to submit later!)

I haven't gotten to play with a second player yet, but I love the concept for this.  I don't know how I feel about one player using the mouse, and there could be a couple more enemy types, but overall I think it's great. :)

That was actually quite fun. ;D
Would like an offline build and alternate controls (mouse control doesn't really fit, imo).
