Gotta play to your strengths, yeah? Programming and...you know...stealing from my Round 3 entry. Made sense to stick with the classic game.
My weakness, though? The creativity side. You're exactly right. A few new mechanics or weapons might make it a little more unique. I'll work on making things a little more "mine" in the future.
Thanks for the input, Loten. I really appreciate it! (Also, you're my pick to win it all! Rooting for you!)
You actually helped me a lot this round when you posted that article with the technical information about Centipede. It gave me several ideas, especially about the scoring the system. I took the original score system and added a combo system on top of it.
Let what you enjoy inspire your games, I know you did this with your round 1 entry. I may not seem like it, but Spelunky was a major influence for my game this round.
Glad someone else found that useful! There was some great info on there.
And I'll definitely keep that in mind in the future. As strange as it is, I tend to avoid the games the inspire me. Main because I'm scared I'll never get anywhere close to them. Silly, but I'm working to move past it.
Cheers! Appreciate the advice!
