Percy

GMW #27 (the 27th dutch gamemaker competition) is about robots and building a game in only five days. I had several ideas that did not work out, and started only today (or technically yesterday) with my new 'semi-hardcore' platformer "Percy". The contest ends today at 23:59, leaving me with less than 23 hours to complete it. But I must say, I came pretty far in the couple of hours I spent on it, so my hopes are up.

Percy is a very simplistic platformer. It is however rather difficult. It's completely grayscale, and most of the graphics are squares or circles. The background is temporary.

First Atlantia Engine Version

Although it's not much, I couldn't find a reason not to upload an engine version. You can find it at the Downloads page.

The controls are ingame, the graphics are all temporary.

Content:

• Walls
• Water
• Running
• Jumping
• Ledge climbing
• Ledge jumping
• 'Abundancy' can be changed
• 'Frostiness' can be changed

The last two are going to be incorporated into some other mechanic; you won't be able to change them all the time in the final game.

What I need to do next:

• Slippery ice
• Swimming
• Crouching
• Sliding
• Waterfalls

Screensavers

Here are two screensavers I made. They were intended for personal use, but I can't find a reason not to share 'em with the world.

Bubbly Explosions

This one starts off with two explosions, each consisting out of a couple of bubbles. When two (different and  'aged') bubbles collide, they create a new explosion. And so forth.

Dancing Sprites

There are 30 'dancing sprites' in this screensaver; they usually move forward, but are drawn towards the closest sprite, making them turn and twist like little fish in a pond. Or something along those poetic lines. Download.

To install them, you should (after having downloaded them) rightclick and select "Install".

If you wanted, I could adjust them a bit; e.g. if you'd rather have a black-and-white (or black-and-cyan) version, feel free to ask. Having more or fewer bubbles or sprites is no problem either.
