Please rate/review this game and all Stencyljam 2015 entries! It's been a blast! Go Stencylers!!! Dev log posts below....

------------------------------------------------------------

Hello! I'm excited for Stencyl Jam 15, ready to work out a fresh/recent game concept I had kicking around. So, the idea is something of an Ecco the Dolphin-type game, but instead of a dolphin, you're a plastic bag. Possibly you speak to other non-recyclables while on a journey to rejoin your species on the great plastic bag island of legend.

Today I put together a splash screen and title with original new-age music. Also designed our hero (the bag), but will post that after I've got it in-game.

UPDATE 05/04/15: The game is on Newgrounds at the above link!

....

And here we have our hero, BAG! Press Z to make BAG soar upwards. When you're underwater, the current will make BAG move to the right. If you're in the air, the wind will push you to the left. Touch some coral or ground, and BAG will get hung up.

Today's update:
-now with BAG!
-BAG animation, controls, reversible horizontal gravity, plastic sound effects, collisions
-aquatic tileset
-parallax bg
-splash animation

UPDATE 04/06/15
-prepangea splash screen
-title with "press Z to bag" instruction
-FISH! Little randomly colored guys with realistic bobbing action. BAG wants to take a closer look....can you BAG 'em all? Nothing happens if you do...but can you!? HUH!?
-made it so BAG can't fly off the screen, this is just for testing purposes, expect later versions to have some penalty for flying too close to the sun...
