Mr. Splode and the Fireworks Factory
Hey ho. I’m on a very limited (and flakey) dial-up connection this time around, so I will be working on stuff that compresses well.
I had a hard time getting away from the obvious chain reaction ideas.. and ended up settling on one of them. Explosions. Whatever this game is going to be, I know that the chain reactions have to be big, chaotic, pretty, long-winded affairs for them to be satisfying. From this premise, I arrived at the concept of a fireworks factory.
For once, I could start off by drawing a run cycle. Just like the good ol’ days.
The story: There is this abandonded fireworks factory, see. It’s full of fireworks in storage, and noone knows how to dispose of them safely. It’s time to call in Mr. Splode.
Mr. Splode has a special fire-proof cloak that he can hide under. Most of the game consists of throwing matches into large stacks of boxes full of fireworks, and taking cover.
