This is all I had in my notes at the moment, and I will place any new information here! Thanks for the help, and here are the things I am going to try to make, which I will check off once I do accomplish them:
Coming up :
- More characters (after game has finished boss)
Puzzles- More story development (started )
- Skins (most likely in the form CUBED used it)
-
More obstacles(So far: water, spikes, lasers, movable blocks, buttons & blocks, TNT) Credits- More options in menu
- More scenery pieces (if objects are available)
Boss
This is all in due of fact if I have enough objects, but I think I can manage if I keep things small. Thanks again, and enjoy!
P.S., you may review this game, just ask first.
