It just keeps getting better and better...

This is the latest Beta Build from The Mat Game. New features include:
*All five Special Abilities
*The second species of elbow sapien
*The dodge mechanic
*A HUD

Just a heads up though, when you die (or leave the level by using Mat Wings) in the beta, you'll get a fatal error. DON'T PANIC! Click Abort and load it up again, I'll patch it as soon as I make the Game Over and Map Screens.
New Controls:
1: Mat power Punch.
2: Mat Kappa Orb.
W,A,S,D: Control the Kappa Orb.
3: Mat Wings.
4: Mat Heroic Stance.
5: The Last Mat.

Elbow Sapians

You'll be seeing a lot of these.

The elbow sapian is the most common enemy you'll find in this game. It doesn't move, but it's tentacles flail around wildly wherever it lies. They cause 5 damage, but are taken down with any attack.
These creatures are solitary and prefer to be alone, when grouped together, you can feel their silent detest for one another. No one knows where they came from or what purpose they serve.
You can't tell by the picture, but they are also incredibly greasy.

Mat

Man, this guy has style!

I would have hoped that by now you realised that I am indeed the main character in The Mat Game. I have some sweet moves too. By depriving me of sleep in game, I gain new abilities that allow me to fight the numerous enemies and NPC's in the game. Some abilities even unlock new levels. Don't forget to construct the Matman Tank also, as you'll be needing that later in the game.
I have two very vital statistics: HP and MP. HP, or hit points, are reduced when I am hit by an enemy. Like every other game with an HP system, if these hit zero, I die and it's game over. MP, or Mat Points, are reduced by using special moves. If these get low, you can't use any moves except my handy spin attack.

Beta Build 1.0

It's beautiful, isn't it?

This is the game's first Beta Build. In this single room you (as me.) can move around and attack those lumps, which are a certain species of Elbow Sapien. (More on that in a later post.) You can't take damage or die yet, but it's coming. I intend to give this out to anyone interested, just go to http://www.4shared.com/dir/7610147/c949e430/sharing.html and download a copy for yourself. I'm not going to do this with every build, because these take a while to make .exe files. But I'm a busy guy, so suck it.
Beta Controls:

Space: Spin Attack

*UPDATE!*

Beta Build 1.0 has been replaced with 1.1.

Welcome to the Silo!

Calling it the Silo seemed relevant.
Hello everybody. This is the place to be for all "The Mat Game" updates and news. It'll be ran like the Smash Bros. Dojo, but won't be updated every day. In all honesty, I only started development on the game today. I'll soon be posting pictures, info, and my developmental journal.
Stay tuned and check often!
