Classic Platformer

The Project

This is a platformer game where you get 4 lives with your goal being to reach the end and obtain the star along with enjoying the journey in between filled with squishable enemies, working rotating and moving platforms, collectables, checkpoints and many dangers such as lava and spikes. You get to experience the madness of this physics engine all while enjoying a fun and rage inducing game.

I have always been fascinated by platformers, I love to play them and see their inner workings such as the collision detections, player displacement by moving platforms and the spawning system. So when I heard about this competition, I knew I had to try to make my dream game- My First Platformer.

I found it difficult to calculate where to move the player when it is standing on a rotating platform because I was not familiar with trigonometry and rotation mathematics but I managed to tackle that problem with a bunch of research and honestly, I was quite fascinated by my findings.

Yes, I would definitely like to spend more time on the levels of this game because I feel like the current levels just don't reflect on the true possibilities of this amazing physics based engine. It is capable of way more than the player sees while playing and I would like to change that.
