Play here

I’ve tinkered around with my Ludum Dare entry a bit more, and am ready to make another release (there may be one or two more after this, but nothing major.) For a while now I’ve been wanting to play with these mechanics, and Ludum Dare was a great opportunity.

New this version:

• sound (or something vaguely resembling it)
• vacuum affects enemy projectiles
• vacuum can be used to destroy enemies with their own projectiles
• 8 levels

There are other things I’m interested in trying, but I will probably not experiment with them in this prototype. These include:

• an alternate weapon mode that adds to walls instead of destroying them
• incorporating indestructible surfaces
• a charge shot with variable blast radius
• ammunition containers that double as shootable explosives
• better ways to handle lava
• stones (Dig Dug!) which are embedded in walls and can be freed to crush enemies, saving ammunition
• ways to limit recoil jumping, so it can be used to hover, but not reach unlimited heights
