Still trying some variations in the gameplay, with some kind of "hyperspeed" mode that would trigger after you reach a certain score ?

There's an alarm sound when a laser is about to shoot. When playtesting, my partner though that it was some kind of siren coming from an emergency vehicle which, I realized, makes way more sense than a laser.

I think there was going to be a small story about delivering packages ? I can't remember :/

Mine is a #pico8 rhythm game heavily inspired by the Rhythm Tengoku series. I spent all my energy buliding the rhythm/level editing system...

Okay so the game felt a bit repetitive therefore I added lasers.

Small things to make the game feel better: I implemented different behavior depending on how a collision occurs. For instance: instead of making you explode, hitting corners pushes you away to help you squeeze into tight gaps. Hitting cars head on is still an instant loss though.

Toyed with an idea for scoring based on how close you are from other cars, à la Burnout.

I was also inspired by Smash menus and used a "gauge-button-thingy" for restarting.

Implementing some simple scoring. Right now it just counts how much time has passed/distance traveled.

Particles and screen shake! Maybe a bit early as I don't have sprites yet, but it feels good

Added some variation to the car size and reworked the scrolling effect. I feel like the speed renders better with non-continuous line separating the lanes.

Doodling some Matrix Reloaded-esque thing

My very short entry for #CorgiJam is done ! I left a lot of things on the cutting room floor, and I didn't have time to implement a lot of mechanics, so there's only a few levels, but still : I'm happy with the result !

Going with the constellation theme, I'm testing out an idea for the victory screen

It has turned into "snake on a graph"

New iteration : adding connection as objectives. I feel like this will allow for some new puzzle ideas

Right now I'm exploring other mechanics to try and see what kind of interesting puzzle emerges. Here, anchor points that you can only use once

A couple of iterations later, and it's now a "connect the dot" game where you draw constellation in the sky

It then evolved into a line drawing thingy, with some kind of reverse snake mechanic

For the last couple of weeks I've been working on my #CorgiJam game. It started with some weird movement system in #pico8
