Zephyr: How minimalist rules (get the spheres to overlap) can make complex, challenging, and engaging gameplay.
NOTE: IMPORTANT INFO AT THE BOTTOM OF POST
Not completely polished but very playable. This game will definitely have a life after LD26. So keep an eye out for future versions of this game. Until then, I hope you enjoy the LD26:72H Version.
The goal of Zephyr is simple: Get the different colored Spheres to overlap, the more spheres overlapping when you score them, the more points you get, but as time goes on your various Zephs can get frozen so it's worth it to keep scoring them as often as you can.
Arrow keys move
A/D tilts the camera
F instantly brings the next Zeph
Enter switches colors
Spacebar "Scores"
I really hope you enjoy (and I hope I caught all the bugs).
*NOTES UPDATE 1*
Due to a large amount of people confused on the gameplay mechanic I am making a short tutorial video, I will link to it here so if you are confused come back and revisit this post in about an hour.
*NOTES UPDATE 2
Here it is, a tutorial video for the game, hopefully it clears up all your questions. Sorry for the confusion and I hope you guys do enjoy my game.
