I decided to mix two of the themes I liked the most, <strong>10 seconds<\/strong> and <strong>Death is Useful,<\/strong>\u00a0and ended up with a puzzle platformer (yeah, original).<\/p>\n <p>In Ephemeral (the name is, well, not definitive), you control little toys (as of now, little red sqaures with letters on them). Each of them has a very short lifespan, and live only for <strong>10 seconds<\/strong> ; once the limit is reached, it dies. But it is up to you to make it so that <strong>its death was not in vain<\/strong> ! Each toy has its own properties, and each one dies in a different way, providing you with a new platform to walk on, destroying some walls around it, and so on.<\/p>\n <p>Currently, there are 7 levels in the first version. As the code is still not quite working as intended, I made it so that pressing N and L at the same time skips the current level.<\/p>\n <p>Enough talk now : <a title=\"Ephemeral\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/s104au1c03ck4kz\/LD27_Ephemeral_v1.jar\" target=\"_blank\">you can download it here !<\/a><\/p>\n <p>If I follow the planning I just made up 5 minutes ago, I should upload a v2 sometime around Sunday in the afternoon, so let me know what you think ! (and if someone has some good ressources on collision detection&#8230; I made no progress since my last (and first) platformer on that, wich is kind of sad.)<\/p>","time":"August 24th, 2013 2:44 pm","title":"Update #1 : everything\u2019s okay for now"}
