LD32 - An Unconventional Weapon
-------------------------------



Plays on videogame conventions:

	Death Bar, use your life bar as a sword
		Taking hits reduces the size
		



Random:
	Lawn Mower: you jump and land on top of guys, they get chopped up

	Mirror: Combines D and O, you reflect shots back at enemies
		Top down "shmup" style?

	Lizard Tail:  you run, when you reverse direction tail whips around
		Causes toward-then-away attack pattern
		Forces thinking of moves a bit in advance?
		Seems hard to implement, needs lots of enemy content
			Best as side-scroller, tricky to get feel right


CONVENTIONS that are not typically weapons:

crates
treasure chests
barrels
powerups
the princess
gold
SMB:
 mushrooms
 stars
 flowers
Zelda:
 potions  (can play on RL identification game)

MIRROR-EM-UP:

	Mirror on swivel arm
	Reflects lasers as only attack
