Just a cicada

Passages that look longer or shorter from the outside, done via camera tricks and teleporting shenanigans. I've seen these kinds of tricks done in 3D, but not that often in 2D. #indiedev #gamedev #unity3d

You know magic squares? Those squares where every line and diagonal must add up to the same number? I figured that could be used as an in-world puzzle. #indiedev #gamedev #unity3d

You know that classic math puzzle about the tower of Hanoi? Well, with that shape I figured it might as well be used as an improvised staircase. #indiedev #gamedev #unity3d

Sliding rooms that can be moved around to reach new areas. #indiedev #gamedev #unity3d

Moving shadows around to... walk on them, I suppose. #indiedev #gamedev #unity3d

Walking on solid shadows, just like you would in real life. #gamedev #indiedev #unity3d

A set of platforms that can be rotated to create paths. #indiedev #gamedev #unity3d

Some shadowy owl creatures. #indiedev #gamedev #unity3d

Implemented a very basic piano. Could be used for a puzzle, maybe. The tricky part is getting from one key to another without accidentally landing on the wrong key. #indiedev #gamedev #unity3d

A giant pixely creature that changes shape. Or rather, changes the position of its pixels. #indiedev #gamedev #unity3d

Some bizarre thing that shoots lasers. #indiedev #gamedev #unity3d

A pixely monster that splits into pixels and charges forward. I know that description doesn't make any sense, but neither does this thing. #gamedev #indiedev #unity3d

Some kind of pixely spaceship sort of thing. It actually follows the rules of the Game of Life cellular automaton. #indiedev #gamedev #unity3d

Implemented this fancy ability to launch some kind of mist(?) and then trade positions with it. If there's an enemy in the path, it even hurts them. #indiedev #gamedev #unity3d

Doors are fine for closing pathways and whatnot, but have you heard of literal thunder? #gamedev #indiedev #unity3d

Some graphics for once. An animated starry sky background effect. #gamedev #indiedev #unity3d

Here's a weird one. It's a wheel of platforms that moves in a circular fashion, but on closer inspection, each individual platform actually moves in a perfectly straight line. Hypocycloid math. Oddly mesmerizing. #indiedev #gamedev #unity3d

Testing the classic mirror and light puzzle. #gamedev #indiedev #unity3d

Some guy with a goat(?) mask that throws exploding boulders and is just an annoyance overall. #indiedev #gamedev #unity3d

A racoon shadowy thing that spawns projectiles that travel along surfaces and also teleports. #indiedev #gamedev #unity3d
