Juboo: Initial devlog entry
Juboo takes on a ninja with a bottle full of seltzer
Juboo and the Clan of the Jade Katana is a sidescrolling platformer that I have been working on for the last month or so. Juboo is a circus clown who must save his friends who have been kidnapped by a band of Ninjas.
At this point, many of the basic game mechanics have been developed:
- Basic character movement (left, right, up, down, jump, climb)
- Juboo's attacks: melee (kick with big red shoes), ranged (throw pies), special (squirt seltzer water, ???)
- Three types of enemies: Melee Ninja, Staff Ninja, Shuriken Ninja. Their pathfinding AI is functional but not quite polished.
- Rewards - coin system to upgrade Juboo's abilities plus health power-ups and chests containing pie ammo refills
- Traps, water (Juboo can't swim), and fire
- Three levels developed so far.
It is still too early to post a demo for feedback but one is coming soon. I am using placeholder artwork for now.
