Spend time today figuring how to indicate to the player how many bombs they have left and the cool down on their gun. Decided to make the crosshair more dynamic to represent this

Stuck on the art for weeks. Settled on a high-contrast monochromatic look, inspired by Downwell.
Thinking of a mechanic where deaths and explosions "paint" the B&W world, making it more colorful as you play.
tips/ideas/feedback is welcome 🙏

Been wrestling with the lava shader this week. I'm going to come back around to this—shaders are hard... If anyone has some good recommended resources for shaders, please send 🙏

Lots of game feel tweaks lately — refining movement, speed, and adding sound + particles to make everything feel more alive.
➡️ Going to switch back to focusing on the key things to get the MVP done so I can get some feedback soon.

✅ Yay finally platforms are back
➡️ Next: Platform interactions with other game objects, so the player doesn't just slide off.

👀 Local co-op with the new physics system with some test levels
Now just have to add platforms back in and I'm back to where I left off :)))
