After I had found out what the theme was I started a brainstorming session and after about half an hour I had come up with a fantastic idea on how to use the theme (which I’m not going to currently reveal). Currently the coding is going decently. I have a good menu/button system set up and my art is looking a lot better than it usually ever does (I’m by no means an artist). I am currently getting a planet system  going with each planet having multiple platform side scroll levels that will utilize random structure based terrain generation (because I hate manually mapping out levels).

This is my current solar system:

I’ve got Deith (this highlighted earth like one), Tredjin (the orange and brown one), and Moog (the small blueish one). As this will probably confuse anyone with what it has to do with the theme, the 10 seconds will be spread out across all of the planets.

I’m going to attempt to pull an all nighter to work on this a lot more.
