Progress at Last!
Finally made something!
LD started here in Manila at 6AM. It's rainy and cold so after finding out what the theme is (what? it's not you are the final boss? hahaha! just kidding!). I started brainstorming right away but came with nothing. Since it's still early, I decided to go back to sleep.
When I woke up, everything was still the same. I have a page on my notebook with some notes, keywords, and some doodles. Here are some of the words I wrote:
RUNNING OUT OF SPACE Shrinking Level / Floor Running (Endless Runner?) Space is a weapon Suitcase Running out of space in hell? Falling roof Refrigerator Blocks / Tetris Checkmate / Stalemate
The last one caught my attention. I imagined a chessboard where the king has no where to go (no more space to move into). That seemed interesting. So I decided to make a board or tile-based game where the objective is to checkmate or stalemate the enemy.
So after 5 hours or so of coding, debugging, and testing, here's what I came up with:
