This is a new project for Virtual Pet Jam, the due date of which is 1/23/22.
This game is a monochrome run-and-gun platformer starring a small slime creature. I'm aiming to design the mechanics in the vein of Kirby and Mega Man.
I'd like to design a few levels, and a final level that would take place in a sky castle (if time permits). Maybe a town also with npc's, but that may be pushing it. I've designed part of one short area so far.
Current controls:
In the future, 'Z' will be shoot. I might move jump to the 'Up' key if I decide the 'X' key should be something else.
Since virtual pets often evolve and change shape, there may be a mechanic involving that (maybe light rpg elements or power-ups?).
