Log entry: springs are pretty annoying
December 15th, 2007 3:34 amI woke up this morning discovering the horrific theme of Chain Reaction, I was pretty bummed that something like Evolution didn’t win and to be honest, I was doubting if I could come up with anything that wasn’t just another Boomshine clone. Well, I sketched around a bit and came up with some ideas that involved chains reacting to input
Originally I was gonna do some kind of “throw your rope and catch something” kind of game, but by tweaking spring properties I stumbled upon something that feels much better to play. You’ll play as some snake-like creature, and have to either kill enemies, or collect stuff by bashing your tail into them/it.
So this is a debug view of the current condition of the game. I prefer writing the gameplay mechanics before delving into doing the artsy fartsy stuff.
