So I whipped up a small little prototype the other night, which I think I want to make into a game, but I'm a bit iffy as to where to go with it.

-arrow keys to move
-click to place the second player (goes inside the white)
-WASD moves player 2 (sorry AZERTY boards...)
-you might have to click to get focus...
*note, this wasn't actually programmed specifically for 2 people, "player 2" is just an arbitrary title. Although, I suppose you could try it with two if you want.

player two can only move around inside white and its physics work a bit differently from the koi.

levels are randomly generated, just refresh if you get a bad one.

This is all done using draw functions in mx04, mind you.


So, I'm not sure where I want to go with this in regards to gameplay gameplay. I like the concept of moving player 1 and 2 and how they have to balance to each others movements to get anywhere, but I'm afraid it's not as fun as I'd like, which could be made up for if I've got some good puzzles, but I think this may be a concept that only goes so far.

So I'd be interested to hear any suggestions you guys might have, including anything that would radically change the gameplay. I'm open.
