Here is my submission for Ludum Dare 34 !

It was as fun to do. I wanted to use the two themes. I started with the ideas of two buttons which can control different things in different context. Here, the left and right arrow are used to move left and right, to move a sword or to send back a power ball to an enemy. Next, I wanted my game to grow. I thought that it would be interesting to get items which improve the game. Then, you start the game with nothing but hitbox-like, with few information to recognize what the object is and the more items you get, the better the game is.

I did the game with Game Maker, Promotion and SFXR. It was my first game with Game Maker, I did the previous Ludum Dare with libgdx. Game maker is simpler :)

The goal is simple : collect elements of the game to build it and kill all your enemies.

Controls :

Left and right array.

<spoiler>

For the boss, you can send him back his power balls. Just load the power of your shield with left arrow and press right arrow when the ball touches the shield.

</spoilers>

What can come next ?

More levels can be added. I first of all wanted to do some kind of proof of concept.

Enjoy ;)
