Something I love in
#gamedev
is the amount of crazy tricks you need to create behind the scene to produce an effect as simple as: make foes dance around you as in a Jackie Chan movie. Yellow dots are "dancing spots", Green ones are "melee". Follow me for more about this rogue-fu

Tenjutsu+ could be described as a "Karateka" under steroids in which you feel like Neo fighting hundreds of Agent Smith at the same time.

Another parallax test in 2D level editor, this time using Nuclear Blaze tileset. Simply painting on one layer generates all the content in all layers at once, thanks to "auto-layer rules", making level design super quick & easy.
