Currently this part of the level and shows off the aesthetics. It's intended to be an art gallery if you could not guess. The gimmick is the various doors will eliminate any "dead" enemies whilst animating any of the art or "dead" objects.

This of course is the dead side so far. How's it look so far?

It would be possible to do so if the swoopers sprite weren't located exactly where several other enemies i've used are located such as the eeries. Even then I'd only be able to make a single sprite jump out, not worth it in my eye to rearrange every sprite just for a single frame. There's going to be an "alive" area so they would be "jumping out" regardless. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll remember that for later.



Thanks a lot for that. As for the gimmick there's a message box at the beginning that explains it so the player isn't left in the dark. I also legitimately just noticed that it was alliteration, I was just against using gallery in the name!
