The player select screen is almost done, hurray!
I’m really looking forward to testing the game with 4 people playing.

I might have to make a seperate player select screen for a single player though, because I think most people will never play with friends, especially on the web version. Oh well. At least I suspect that more Steam users will be into multiplayer.

Anyway, here’s how multiplayer works:
Everyone’s attack power is lowered, but the total is still higher than on single player. Everyone has one life, but they respawn after a few seconds as long as someone is still alive. Bombs are shared. Enemies will always target the nearest player to them, making cooperation vital if you don’t want bullets scattered in the wrong places.

Overall the game should be a little bit easier with more players, and will play quite differently.

Still working on menus. Got a few more to go, but most of them are done!

Made some icons! There’s no permanent upgrades this time, but you can unlock cheats, handicaps, weapons and costumes instead, using coins you collect in-game. Getting high ranks and achievements will reward you with extra coins and speed things up.

Hopefully this adds a lot of replay value! 😀

Made the level icons for the level select screen!
That’s a lot of levels!

Sadly in the low-res web version these are gonna be scaled down a bit, but in the Steam version they’ll be super pretty.

Working on the menus for BH2!

Probably not terribly exciting for most people, but I think they’re cool cause they support all 3 control schemes and run at 60fps, unlike my other games.

Cheats and handicaps (and everything else) will be unlocked by collecting coins in game.
So even though there’s no upgrades, this is kind of similar.
