#1GAM 2017 - Week 2

The majority of week one was spent coming up with ideas and building some of the backend for Mini Shinobi. This week I was able to focus more on designing and creating gameplay features.

Features added this week:

• Moving enemies
• Jumping on enemies to damage them
• Animated tiles
• Parallax scrolling
• Double-jumping
• Terrible sound effects
• Transparent water that slows the player down

Here are some animated screenshots showing the features added this week (click to play):

This week I'd like to finish:

• The full live/die/repeat game loop
• Health increase and restoration powerups
• Particle effects
• Title screen
• Switches and closed doors
• Basic area transitions

It's going to be a challenge to get everything done before the deadline, but I'm happy with how the game is progressing.
