Kyoob 3.1 - Hey look, an update!

[Ben]

IM diggin that crab

[RockJohnAxe]

holy **** i gotta change my pants!!

Those screen shots, awesome and exciting! That Crab is WICKED!!

I had an ability idea for that other Beam. Maybe if you shoot it into Kyoob it pushes him a bunch of squares. Kinda Like Ness from Super Smash Bros PK Thunder. If you redirect it into yourself it pushes you and technically do damage to enemies but i dunno if that can be done.

just an idea! This is awesome btw!

edit: The Blocker is the coolest by far.

I've been experimenting with the trail.
Results are meh, but I thought I'd show it anyways.

OLD


NEW

[/spoiler]

No, I'm not going to the second one, but I just thought that it was interesting.

[Bluhman]

Yeh, the old one looks better.

'N that crab is purdy aweseme.

[fruckert]

I have yet to figure out what's causing so much artifacts in the trails.
It's not noticeable when you're playing (unless you're falling), but it's still there.

BTW, the shockwave move is done.

[fruckert]

Thought I'd give a rundown on upgrades.


No, that isn't in the game, because for some stupid *** reason pausing doesn't work as advertised.

AERO - Allows Kyoob to attack mid-air.
FREEZE - Freezes an enemy for a short amount of time.
SHIELD - Makes a couple of particles that surround Kyoob.
CHARGE - Charges the blades. After you release the button, projectiles appear and go in their respective directions.
S-WAVE - Makes a shockwave when Kyoob hit's the ground while Aero-blading.

MAGIC - Allows Kyoob to create a ball (square) of energy. It explodes upon contact with an enemy.
L-SHOT - Allows your view to go beyond the normal limits with a magic.
BLCKER - Creates a block when it explodes. It disappears after 10 seconds.
SHCKER - Does not explode. Instead, it shocks any enemy that comes near.
LOCKER - You can't control it, but it locks onto the nearest enemy and homes in.

D-JUMP - Allows Kyoob to double-jump.
W-JUMP - Allows Kyoob to wall-jump.
H-JUMP - Makes Kyoob able to jump higher.
H-SWIM - Allows Kyoob to swim in hazardous materials. Acid is floatier than water, while lava is not.

Saw this at voca and said Do Want!

[fruckert]

Big

O

That font is sorta confusing. AERO sort of looks like RERD. I know you have different looks for A and R as well as O and D, but that doesn't stop my eyes from not immediately seeing the differences.

[Prpl_Mage]

Since my display is so dark - it looks like "REPO" to me.

[fruckert]

I use a different font in-game, that one I sprited by hand.
Ridiculous OCD stuff made me sprite in a 3*5 pixel area.

Like I said, the menu isn't in-game because of a hack that I'm using because Game Maker behaves badly on certain graphics cards...including mine.
I'm still trying to figure out what exactly causes the problem, but until then, items you pick up are with you forever.

[fruckert]

There's been a change regarding items.

The "charge" powerup ended up being really gorram hard to use. As such, it's scrapped. Same with the "freeze".
Shield is rather awesome to use, though.

I'm almost ready to release a tech-demo, I just need to implement enemy collisions, and then I'll be done.
