I am doing it. I've currently got the basic platform engine going, and I'm gonna be working on climbing and attacking next.
It's in GameMaker, so I should be able to get it done pretty quickly (provided I find time). There are just some more design choices that would need to be made.
For example, how are enemies going to behave? All I know so far is that they are randomly spawned as the level scrolls, that they do damage when coming into contact with the player, and that they can be made harmless by painting them. How do they move? Do they just walk back and forth, or do they intentionally seek out the player? Will different enemies behave differently from others? How many hits can they take before becoming "green"? What will they do when they turn green? Will the player be knocked back or temporarily stunned any upon taking damage?
The reason I'm asking you is because this is essentially your game. If I made all these decisions for you, the game could (and likely would) turn into a different game more along the lines of that scrap I posted in my scraps thread and might not be quite how you imagined it at all.
BTW, are ya gonna do a crawl anim, or is he gonna just slide along the ground?
