Weevil Whomper

This is the project I made for an animation class. Before creating this I had very little experience using Pygame, and had mostly used Python for competitive programming.

Controls

The player can use the mouse to start and quit the game. At the moment, the a and d keys are the only controls the player has access to, controlling left and right respectively.

Gameplay

Initially I was going to have little weevils for the player to fight, but I ran out of time. At the moment the game ends when the player reaches the x coord of 5000.

The background moves using Parallax, I animated the player’s movement and did all the art using Aseprite.

Place holder for now, still learning how to use this website magic.

Wishlist

In the future, I’d like to turn it into an actual game, some of the things I’d like to have in it include:

• Weevils, or some similar forest enemy.
• NPC’s, some for weapons, armour, items, charms and dialogue (for the story).
• Player health
• A damage indicator - player is green when health and gradually turns brown while the player takes more and more damage.
• Other controls: Jump, Dash, Glide, Wall Jump, Fight, Use Item.
• Have a place to save player progess.
• A story.
