That is one ugly asteroid...<\/p><\/div>\n

My intention is to create a scrolling shooter with very little shooting involved. Instead, you will use a grappling hook (behind the blue ship) to grab enemies and throw them at each other. So far, I have a few graphics, a small physics engine, and no sounds.<\/p>\n

It takes some time to get used to the hook’s controls, so I might have to make a way of shooting the enemies instead of throwing them at each other. Or I might not. We’ll see.<\/p>\n

Oh, and hopefully there will be some awesome explosions when I’m done.<\/p>","time":"August 21st, 2010 6:12 am","title":"A screenie and progress update"}
