Major Gameplay-loop Update

PLORBO: Critter Getter
A browser game made in HTML5

New stuff

  • Z button now does a boost! (eats up lots of energy though, be careful)
  • Sprite rotation on ship
  • Several new head & body designs
  • Camera system & larger map
    • Note: map graphics are very much a WIP!
  • Collision and player physics tweaks

New gameplay loop

  • Collect specific creatures that the Mothership requires (head + body combo, any colors) - shown via hologram
    • Each time the correct creature is collected, you will see more of the star-field and be shown another creature hologram
  • Once 3 correct creatures are collected, you will "go to the next planet"
    • Mothership creature hold will be cleared, your star-field will shrink, and you see a new planet name
  • Note: you now have much more energy, but it is still a concern -- so keep an eye on the yellow bar above your green ship!
    • Docking with the Mothership will replenish energy
