Hi all,

Let me introduce you a project i've working on since the last year.

All began with this piece of pixel art:



Then i decide to make a game about this. I started it with the same graphical style, but then switch to an HD resolution:



The concept of this game goes around a blob-like humanoid, who have the hability to control and transform himself into different objects composed of one of the four elements (air, water, fire and earth).

The game will be metrodvania-styled, platform based with both puzzles and rpg elements.

A sort of preliminary tech-demo can be found here

Controls
--------
WASD/Arrows            Move
Mouse                  Shoot psychic energy to control elements (rock implemented so far)

All is in early stages at the moment, and almost everything is a place-holder (except the character and some bg elements). I just need some feedback on the controls design.

Greetings,

JMGandalf.-

How does the psychic energy control the rock? I can't get it to do anything. Looks sweet, though.

[jmgandalf]

Hold the left button next to a rocky source, the energy will attract rocks to it. Move the resultant rocks with mouse, and then release button to throw them away

Hm. Still can't get it to work. I can summon a blue energy ball and hold it next to every rock-looking thing I can find, but no rocks come! When I release, the ball just goes flying out in the direction I was pointing.

Hmm, now that's weird  

Should work like this:





EDIT: Grr, silly me, i put the wrong link  

Here is the last version:
