After having to scrap all code once (let's just say I'm not on good terms with the Rust language right now...)
and spending the larger part of Saturday trying to get the skeleton animation converter to work... Here it is..
What amounts to an entire weekend of frustrations and some fun ;-)
Powerup Puncher!
A 2d fighting game where you have the option to choose a bunch of powerups before the battle begins.
The powerups cost health so the player will start with less than full health but with some handy powers :-)
Every powerup can only be used once during a battle and only for a limited time.
The game balance is terribly off and the player contact area needs severe work,,,
But I think the main idea is ok and could be expanded on quite a lot.
Even though I'm really not pleased with the result I decided to publish it anyway...
Lessons learnt and all that...
