Changed how drifty the main character is. Made the hitboxes more forgiving.

Okay there is no way I'm finishing this in time for the jam.

Most of the time has been just working on the Character's mechanics and nothing else.

Concept

Dr Evil Lulzs has just killed your master you vow to get your revenge in 30 seconds. This gives you thirty seconds to reach Dr Evil Lulzs and attack or you will explode violently.

Managed to get some actual gameplay in. Added title screen/intro. Added actual level that can be played through but not completed. Death implemented, music (not mine added) one type of trap entity added.

Got the attack mostly implemented but nothing to attack at the moment :( (it does give you a speed boost however)

Intended mechanics

Rolling is slower than running but its good for avoiding things.
Attacking will give you a slight speed boost.
Air friction will be less than ground friction, (so chaining attack and jump should give you more speed)
Intend to do an optional tutorial level where your master trains you.

Tutorial ideas.

Screen one.

Your master is sitting out of reach on the top of the screen.
you: "Why am I wearing red. I thought ninjas should be stealthy"
master: "Ninja secret. Red allows you wall jump"
you: ".."

Wall jump your way to a flag.

Screen two.

Flag on right of screen. low gap with spikes in middle.
master: "Roll past spikes, young tardigrade"
you: "why put spikes in training"

Screen three.

Large gap to jump across:

master: "Attack makes you faster, young sushi"
you: "That makes no sense"

when you attack and jump you can jump over gap
you: "Where did that sword come from"

Screen four

master "you have done well young snotrag"
you: "could you learn my name"
master: ".."
master: "Now for the secret of eternal life"
master: "All you need is ..."
master hit by a flying syringe

you "NOOO Dr Evil LULZS"
you "You killed my master"
you "I will kill you in 30 seconds"

cut to main game.
