EleMan - Master the elements

[SamzSite]

Hey!

I am working on a 2D side-scrolling adventure game in C#, it has been in development since Monday 25th of May.

Current features
Multiple levels
Enemies
Level editor (Visual basic, very simple)
Power up Gems {
Fire power up - Shoot fireballs at enemies
Earth power up - Create floating platforms from thin air
Wind power up - Jump twice as high
}
Deaths
Game time
Life counter
Music
Impassable and passable tiles
Death, end of level, run and jump animations
Smooth scrolling
2 layer backgrounds, scrolls at different speeds
Couple more!

Screenshots





As you can see, i am yet to replace all the graphics. Also, the graphics fail i know =]

XNA platformer starter kit (dont judge) - This is my first C# game, and i am learning C# still

Is a giant monster going to devour the levels as you play through them as well?

Woah, my game could never compare to that one xD

Didnt even know that one existed till now, mine was just a little side project to help me learn C# during the half term.

All you'd have to do is add a giant purple monster, along with "ice" and "tree" gems.

Guess my game wasn't so original after all .... or great minds think alike!

So it was you that made Syntropy? It looks like.. Well, God?

Its great considering it was made in REALbasic.

haha, thanks. REALbasic is like crack for programmers, you want to stop using it but it feels so good. (<--not that I've ever done hard drugs before)

I'm actually rewriting Syntropy in C++ using OpenGL/SDL. Right now I'm reading through the OpenGL SuperBible with the intention of mastering OGL by the end of the summer. (we'll see how that goes)

Good luck with dev in C#/XNA, from what I hear, it sounds pretty sweet.

Thanks, i was once addicted to Visual Basic, used it for everything. I could use it so well that i could increase the speed =P Not too keen on REALbasic myself though, couldnt get hang of the GUI.

I guess I should have said Mac OS X programmers, I've used RB in Windows. I wasn't too keen on it either.
