My day 6 blog post.

I just gave this a try and it seems to be working well. Found it quite difficult couldn't get past the second room, only tried a few times though. Its quite creepy, I like how powerful the healing effect is when you're in shadow at the expense of how vulnerable and helpless you are.

Ah, that's wonderful to read! Thank you for trying it out, and for the feedback! ^_^

The game is indeed supposed to be somewhat difficult--but there's also likely a bit of developer bias on my part: I know the game, so it's likely rather easier for me than for new players, making it perhaps harder for me to gauge the difficulty without external feedback.

I'm glad that the shadow-mechanic seems to have the intended effect--it's perhaps one of the elements that I've been most uncertain about.

WoA Day 6: http://www.gamedev.net/blog/2080/entry-2262173-woa-day-6/
sorry late fell asleep again

I am midway through my final day now and have been working to polish the game.

I now have:

* A startscreen

* An end-game cutscene

* Various minor tweeks and graphical enhancements

* A set of introductory levels + a couple of more challenging ones.

The game is not particularly difficult, it turns out. But it's still mildly entertaining I guess.

I think the game is now minimally complete. So from here on out I am simply enhancing it!

I didn't manage to introduce any new blob types yesterday, but i *am* still hoping to achieve that today. Since I've already spent some time on level design and polish elements that actually leaves me time today to do that hopefully.

So for the remainder of the day I plan:

* Work on new blob types

* Create new levels that exploit those blob types

* Polish the sounds and graphics slightly (but only slightly).

And that's it. That'll be my submission.

Here's a screenshot of my first level:
