LD18 — Enemies as Weapons

yeah, it's pretty loose on the theme.. ah well :)

i'll likely keep working on this, cos i quite like it. there are lots of things i want to add, especially much more varied enemy patterns and AI. and i'll change the graphics from dancers to some kind of weird sea anemones and fish or something.

hehe. cheers guys. Draknek - yeah I do like the silly dancing people, but I also envisage a more beautiful (rather than cute) style... the swirly movement patterns would suit underwater creatures I think. (it looks cool if you play long enough for there to be 10+ couples on screen..sort of hypnotic). if i do that i'll preserve a dancing version too though. MUST ADD CONGA-LINE ENEMY.

stqn - yeah, you can die suddenly, and it's sometimes hard to tell what killed you.. could be because of your dance parter rebounding off the side of the screen into you, or glasses flying after knocking down a waiter. I'm planning to make there be more than 1 life when I do more to this - haven't gotten round to it yet.

I think it fits the theme a bit, though admittedly not in a very deep or clever way: you can be both be "killed" by and "kill" with the dance partners.

Not much different stuff happens yet, but I'm still planning on working this more cos I quite like it :) I have a few plans for different enemies and waves and such.

Thanks for checking it out guys!
