Hi all and welcome to my devlog.

Here's the basic idea and a few sketches.

The concept: The theme is "Life in Space" so the concept is a game where you need to perform an ordinary everyday task but in space where you have to deal with aliens, comets, etc...

The game: You work for Space Clean Corp, a cleaning service. You must collect all space dust in the level while avoiding hazards: alien enemies, falling comets, laser beams, etc... It's going to be a platform where enemies fall from above (Super Crate Box style).

Here are a few sketches

Main character!

Alien enemies!

A game level. Collect all dust, avoid enemies!

Here's a little character study with some form and color variations.

I'm also closer to the direction this will take visually: character + platforms will be mostly white, monsters and hazards will be colourful. Background will be black with some space (stars, etc) details to give everything extra contrast.

What do you think? Any suggestions?

So.... I didn't write much on this devlog lately because I didn't have much time to spend on making the game.

Between work and the birth of my second son it's been really hectic! :)

So I couldn't implement a bunch of features I wanted (random levels, more enemies, more visual polish, animations). Still I'm pretty happy with it! Its a lot of fun to play and i'd love to see it evolve into a more complete game :)

The game has been submitted here. If you find it interesting please rate it/leave a comment.
