Uni student trying to make a game

Here's a draft web page with some more information about my game: https://t.co/i9hGcc0Ql2

Once I've got a playable alpha version I'll make this page public (so it can be found without using the link above) and put I'll the alpha on there to download for free

@BattleSplatter Glad to see you posting again! Your pixel art’s getting really good

[Sitting Duck @SittingDuckDev]

@BattleSplatter Thanks!

I feel like my levels look a bit empty currently, so I'm adding little decorations to them. First is this lantern that wobbles when touched:

Working on a new animated background tileset that can quickly be modified.

@Zeefles @IndieGameTrends Thanks!

Made an attack animation for this stone golem enemy:

I've been working on some new art and player abilities for World 3. Here's some early footage of it!

@BattleSplatter Thanks! I'm just getting back to working on the game now so it's motivating to see people still looking at it. Btw I checked out the trailer for your game and it looks really good!

I haven't made much new content this week aside from sounds and menus, so here's a speedrun skip I discovered for level 2-5

@CosmicCrystal_ That level looks really good! Are you using a set colour palette?

[Sitting Duck @SittingDuckDev]

Made a little tutorial sign that pops up when you come near.

Small update - here's a simple pause menu. I'm getting around to all the necessities that I've ignored so far to get the game ready for an alpha release.

@MirasBrush Thanks!

Made an ice cube dropping machine. The art doesn't really fit the game's theme for now but at least the machine is functioning properly.

Updated the ice world using the #endesga32 palette. Also added a snow particle effect.

I've mostly been working on sound design and menus this week, but I did manage to update World 1's background and tileset using the #endesga32 palette by @ENDESGA:

Adding some new death animations for when the player gets hit by different hazards.

I finally got to combine the fire and ice mechanics in one level! It's probably my favourite level so far but I'm hoping it's not too difficult. I'll be releasing the alpha as soon as I can for some feedback.

Animated the torch which destroys the ice cubes on contact. Also added a little title bar on the top of the screen that slides away each time the level begins

@inPrincipleInc Thanks for the advice, actually I was thinking the same thing so I made some colour-coded ones:

Working on an animation for when the lock disappears after the key is collected - currently I've just gone with the same 'squashing' animation that the key has. Any feedback would be appreciated!
