Update
Finished the majority of the simple mechanics that my game will have, and so I have started working on the tutorial levels. I still have a few more (a little more complex) mechanics to implement, but here’s the first tutorial for movement:

Just move forward and you are done!
It doesn’t look like much, I know, but I’m having fun. I’m still trying to decide if I want to have text in the tutorials, or if I want the player to have to learn like we did in Mega Man X for the SNES (by dying a lot)…
As always, the Git repository for this can be accessed (and forked if you want) https://bitbucket.org/atsmith/ludum-dare-30/overview
And I am still streaming on http://www.twitch.tv/lorddraficus/
