Moon Tides - Control the water height and use it for your advantage!

Moon Tides [WORKING TITLE] - Control the water height and use it for your advantage!

I made this WIP thread because i think it can help me get further into the project and not just leave it.
I will use it as my Dev-blog and come with updates when i can. The feedback will probably help me getting through this project.

Moon Tides is a 2D platformer based on the fact that the moon controls the tides on the earth.
You have this special power that you can control the moons mass and make the water rise, or fall.
You use this advantage to go through levels which will get harder and harder.

The game is in very early development and right now im trying to get the concept together and create a demo scene.
I have made a simple level, you can move the person left and right but you can’t jump right now.
I made a scene so i can see what it could look like and im pretty proud of it. The graphic might change, or might not. I try to keep the textures really simple :-)!

Right now you can:

  • Move left and right
  • Water animation, and when you press “w” the water goes up and when you press “s” it goes down.
    -The moon size also changes scale when pressing “w” or “s”.

I will try coming up with a video as soon as possible, but for now here is a picture of the scene that i made!

Actually im wondering about the background, do you think that the trees should be there or not?

Hi the idea is very cool but i suggest you to make fancy graphics, like cartoons , i know that the design is the awful part but i did a game without have a lot of design knowledge (:

Keep it up!

wait, where’s the asset store link?

Thank you for the feedback, could you give me a example of your thoughts? Like, do you think the graphic should be like Super Meat Boy etc.

Asset store link? Could you explain it a little better? I haven’t used the asset store.

sorry, wrong thread

Mmmm maybe you should search your own style, try different styles and get the one you love (:
