Light Painting

Light Painting

A space robot of sorts throws balls of coloured light around them to reveal their path, obstacles and collectables such as stars.

You must traverse carefully, collecting stars, avoiding death and reach the final goal. You will then see the number of times you have died, and how many stars you missed!

Controls

• Use A and D to move side to side
• Space to Jump
• Click anywhere on the screen to shoot paint

Using walking and paint throwing, expose the world around you. Use it to find your path and hidden secrets.  If you die, an explosion of paint will help expose the area immediately around you. 

Currently implemented

• Moving platforms
• Pits that kill
• Spikes that kill
• Checkpoints
• Stars to collect along the way
• Score screen to reveal number of stars you collected compared to total available, and number of times died before reaching the goal

Current plans for future

• Primarily an Android and PC game
• Build in more types of platforms, obstacles, challenges, and puzzles
• One big level to explore and find the end goal

Inspiration

I'm trying to go for a tougher game where you learn from death, such as Dark Souls and Super Meat Boy, but to also keep it simple and accessible, using a fun drawing or painting exploration mechanic similar to The Unfinished Swan.
