<\/a><\/p>\nAnd from there, I made this game:<\/p>\n State 1: Day Turns to Night<\/p>\n The game actually begins with a totally white sky, rather than a light grey sky (as in the picture), but it’s been hard to screen shot the white “day” background before it begins to change color. Each second after the game starts, the sky darkens until, on the fourth second, the sky reaches its darkest grey.<\/p>\n State 2: The Monster and the Moon Appear<\/p>\n After the sky has stopped changing color – and also after the fourth second – the Monster appears from within the village, and the Moon descends from the sky. You can just see the Moon peaking out of the top of the screen in this picture, and the curve of the Monster traveling through the village.<\/p>\n State 3: The Moon Becomes Moveable<\/p>\n Once the Monster has reached a certain point on the screen (about two thirds of the way across), it stops. The Moon also stops after its vertical descent. Once both objects have stopped moving, the player can move the Moon by touching the screen. This change is a timed event that happens sixteen seconds after the game begins. I’ve debated how to make the player aware of the movability of the Moon, but right now I’m relying on the player to find out just by playing with the interface a bit.<\/p>\n State 4: The Monster Eats the Moon & Breathes Fire<\/p>\n If the player moves the Moon inside of the Monster, both the Monster and the Moon become red, and the Monster spits out a fireball, which moves towards the village.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
