Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get everything done. However what I did complete I think is fairly impressive: DOWNLOAD

********** So I’m entering a little last minute, but I have been working on things for a while since I found out this was running. I intend to treat this a kind of like a game jam.
The cover I chose to inspire my game was:
Development I will be working in Game Maker for the project.
Game Play The game will be an action platformer taking place in destructable environments.
Synopsis A massive planet eating alien is heading towards Earth. You play one of a number of astronauts tasked with stopping it. You find yourself launched into the alien, its internals consist of a Worms like destructable environment which you must navigate in order to destroy its vital organs.

Hopefully I can get everything I want to get done in the limited timeframe I’ve left myself. :)
Here is what I have so far for anyone wanting to have a little try. DOWNLOAD
The game now supports the use of an xbox 360 control.
The controls are: Arrow keys to move and aim, or left thumbstick. Z to jump, or A Button. X to shoot, or X Button. C to hold position, or Left Trigger.
Character Art: 90%
Character Code: 90%
Terrain Art: 70%
Terrain Code: 100%
Enemies and Goals: 0%
Sounds and Music: 0%
I will have to work pretty hard to get the enemies in and gameplay solid. But I have plans for the night so we will see how I go.
I also may need to add a loading screen at some point, as generating all the terrain from textures is starting to take a little while.
Unfortunately I’m not able to get all I wanted to do for my game done. However what I did complete I think is fairly impressive and warrants a play. I’m uploading the game as it is now as my submission for the competition. I will probably add a big boss fight to the end after the deadline so that the whole game feels a lot more finished.
