Believable Animation With Static Images

I’m currently working on a title that requires single-frame sprites to animate in such a way that brings them to life. After playing around in Flash, I’ve come up with the following little toy. I figured I’d share it with you. Enjoy Bouncy World!

Ludum Dare 21 Games!

Last weekend, The Game Studio participated in Ludum Dare and completed two games! The theme was “Escape.”

Escape From Music Manor: A Rhythmic Roguelike!

Zachary created a single-button rhythm roguelike called Escape From Music Manor: A Rhythmic Roguelike!. In it, you must escape the dastardly Music Manor by timing your button presses to select your actions, all to the tune of a procedurally-generated soundscape.

Is there anything in this room that won't kill me?

Solar Escape

Evan created a space escape game called Solar Escape. In it, you must escape the explosion of a dying star by slingshotting your ship through planets while avoiding space debris that will slow you down.

Hmm... this is exactly where I don't want to be.
