Basilisk (trijam)

My first game for the three-hour Trijam game jam#173. The theme was: You are the monster. My idea for that was that YOU control the monsters in the game, instead of the "player" running the level. This is what I could get done in the 3hr limit.

You can see the improved version (over the time limit) here.

Built using microstudio.dev. (My first game exploring this ide.) Took about a half-hour to get the sprites all set up and another half-hour for basic game functions using the Quick Engine. A little over an hour to get the "player" AI working in a rudimentary but tolerable way. Balance of time to get some better player controls working, add a title screen, and throw in some sound effects.
