This month, Socoder are having a "Make a game with Pickups" challenge.
It took me a bit of a while to decide what game to do, but I think I've finally settled on one.


Greenie - The Eccentric Egyptologist.. Named so it fits alongside Greenie - The Helecopter Hero.

It's a remake of Oh Mummy but with a couple of tweaks here and there, including the way you open the areas.

Instead of just being "Walk around the box" there's now a set of buttons around the edges of the areas. Push down all the buttons and then the area opens up. But if you leave the buttons, they slowly pop back up again. This means you have to run all the way around, trying to keep the buttons down.
Different sizes and shapes of areas means there's plenty of variety, and the levels can become easy/hard depending on how the areas are layed out.

So far, only Mummies are in the game, but I'm planning on adding a few more creatures, and the pickups are coming along rather well.
The one thing I haven't yet decided, though, is how to end each level.
In the original game, you had to find the key in each level, then get back to the door. For this one I'd like to make things a little more complex.
..
But I might not! I haven't decided yet.

More info later.
