FLU, but not swine.

Had taken me hostage for nearly a week. I hate the flu. Even if it wasn't swine-flu, it still sucked and I don't recommend it.

So its safe to say nothing got done, absolutely nothing. Except being sick.

Today I actually did get a few things done though, first was obtain the series of the photo that existed before it was ruthlessly thrown into the 'photoshop' process.

Raw web cam photo.

Simple color enhancement and black/white point setting.

Final pic before the modifications.

The final piece.

Plus I got around to recording a full round around the block for my side-scroller project.

And wouldn't you know, I did some more to Shield Breaker, adding two new powerups! Yay…and if I didn't mention before, a new mode of play basing your score as life. That feature needs some fine tuning though, as it presents a altered form of play, needing some new game rules.

I also may drop the music shifting idea I had before, but will see about it. Least I can find someone to choke out a few good tracks.

So here's too more little vids, this time of Shield Breaker. One demonstrating the wonderful 'buckshot' power-up and the always handy mini-shield PLUS, that faithfully blocks your first ball.

Okay, to be honest, I still have no idea what the thing in the background is. :D

Might be useful to say which street/avenue you are on at the top of the screen when you change between areas.

Its really just something that you see with your imagination, personally I saw a castle like structure.

@juju

Sounds like a good idea.
