Rainbow power!!

Just wanted to make a quick post--I have been working on Extinctathon, albeit intermittantly. I've just implemented a new power up, the rainbow (invincibility), and I'm working on the animation for the next power up, high fructose corn syrup. Yum!

I've also started the artwork for some underwater and desert levels. I've got the basic plans for adding some particle effects as well, so I'll be working on that this week and next. My main thing for the moment, though, is content creation.

I've got a super short video of the rainbow powers uploaded, so here it is:

DBP is over!

I've stayed away from Extinctathon for the past week or so, taking a break after finishing my Dream-Build-Play submission. I'm getting back to it this week. I'll post a little more later, but for now here's the XBox 360 ccgame (if you can play this, you know what it is). I'll be making a distributable Windows version of the game some time in the future, most likely when it's at least somewhere close to complete (running XNA games on computers without the XNA dev tools installed is kind of tricky--I don't want to go to the hassle at this point).

I've posted a video of a run of the full game, as it stands at this point. It's about three minutes long and shows off the first four levels including a suuuuper scaaary dungeon level with a suuuper sccaaaaararararyyy boss at the end. Check it out! Feedback would be GREATLY appreciated.
