Description
ConceptWell, this is something that I've been working on for the past 2 weeks.
Ever since I've played video games, I've always wanted to make a few myself. With the rise of indie(independent) games, most notably freeware and open-source ones, the world of game design and development has become a great hobby for a big number of people. Minimalistic platformers/jump'n'runs/adventures/action arcades/puzzles/space invaders and pong clones are my favourite genres of such games and here I've tried to implement some of my simple ideas inspired by them.
So, this is just an early WIP concept art of a black&white puzzle/space invaders-like game with a crisp stickman for a protagonist. Some graphics(the spaceship vol1 frame and the rpg-chars frame) are from www.favicon.cc favicons(credits given in the animation).
I may animate the in-game frames and make some short gameplay animations from them.
The main guy and the black spaceships (excluding some of the Space Invaders sprites) are my original works.
P.S. Feel free to enjoy, download, fave, modify and comment. If someone can help me make a smooth gameplay animation, it'll be great and I'll be sure to give him proper credit for doing so.
Game recommendation: If you like good old school platformers, try Pekka Kana 2, it's one of my all-time favourites - [link] .

EDIT: The last 3 frames didn't have some pixels on the border, it's fixed now.
EDIT 2: The 2nd WIP is now out - you can check it out at [link] .

Dude, if you ever make this game, I will *so* play it. The WIP looks so polished [and reminds me of N+ in terms of funness ... and pixels?]. I think I'll :+devwatch" you, just so I can get updates, lmfao.
Ooh, too, this is awesome.

Thanks for the inspiring feedback!
And you're on the right track - N+ was also a great source of inspiration for the style of B-Woox.
Unfortunately, I'm really surprised that I still haven't found somebody(a pixel artist) that can help me develop this game.
Nevertheless, I hope that I'll eventually find someone with whom I can collaborate to bring this game to reality.

This looks really cool Sadly, I don't know much about programming or anything, so I can't really help out

Yeah, it's a good concept but who knows if it'll work out as planned...
No worries, I'll figure something out, hopefully sooner than later.
Thanks for your outstanding support, as always.
