Element Shifter (2023 Summer Flowjam)

I decided to Log my Flowjam game, I’ve been seeing others do it so I decided to do it as well. (Hopefully it will turn out better than my Quest For The Stars Dev Log) I will post art and updates on the game here( I won’t spoil the game though, just screenshots and art). I will attempt to do it daily as well(It should be daily atleast). Hopefully I will be able to finish the game and submit it for the flowjam. This is my first one so I’m really excited about it! Feel free to give feedback or suggestions here!

Just a heads up I won’t show an update tomorrow due to the fact that I probably won’t be on Flowlab tomorrow. Updates may get farther apart due to the fact that finishing the game keeps getting closer so there aren’t anymore major updates but I will still continue updating as much as I can.

Apologies I keep accidently having the “curser” in the picture the blue block is not a part of the animation sry.

Why are you apologizing for something like this??? You just need practice.

Probably because of something called…self-consciousness(Insert wow effect here)! Where I feel like I have to apologize for almost everything even if it’s not that big of a deal.

Gah, I have a friend who does that. It’s so aggravating to hear because I know you don’t need to apologize for that.
(Oh and sorry for going off topic.)

Don’t worry about going off topic as long as it isn’t taken too far off topic.

Update

-End of Main Game added
-Credits Added
-Background Music added

The next thing that really has to be done is maybe add a second short level, and make sure everything is working correctly.

I also submitted my game to the jam! This is actually really exciting for me cause I’ve participated in one before.
