Powers - A Ludum Dare Game

The More You Have, The Worse It Is

About the Game

Powers is a platformer that focuses on learning Six different skills. (Only 4 available in the Alpha Build). Fire, Water, Thunder, Wind, Light and Dark.
Each of these skills is unique.
Fire has the user shoot a fireball in front of them in a line.
Water creates a barrier around the user that dampens damage.
Thunder creates a powerful bolt that splits in two and acts as an AOE kind of attack.
Wind allows the user to move faster for a set amount of time.
Light creates shields that prevent the enemy from going through, they weaken overtime.
Dark allows the user to teleport away from their current location.

Known Issues

There are still a few issues with the game which are being ironed out.

• Enemy AI - When a Slime attacks, sometimes it knocks the player flying into the air or the player doesn't get knocked back. (Invincibility Frames help here)
• Enemy AI - Slimes Hate Slopes for some reason, possibly something to do with the shape of the Hitbox.
• Powers - Water and Wind don't update instantly after you rank them up and need to be reused once they wear off.
• Powers - Sparks don't have gravity which means that slimes can fill trenches making it impossible to pass.
• Camera - During the Title, the camera pans to the player even though the camera is position at the player.
