Experimenting with something!

Instead of just jumping above enemies and killing them instantly, you simply get above them and you get to pick how you want to use them (jump or jump higher basically)

I will take a while working in this idea though...


It's kinda like in Klonoa where you can use the enemies in there to either double jump or throw them. It's true that Klonoa is not just a platformer so these mechanics are not just for it, but I'm planning a similiar approach with Koppy (not making it a puzzle platformer entirelly but simply adding some sections that require some planning with the way you use the enemies).

But why?

I showed this game to my aunts and they told me that I could do something more different with this game rather than a "copy of Mario" (which is true, if you make Mario jump the same way as Koppy does then it's literally the same gameplay if not counting the level design)

So this next phase of development will be centered around experimenting with different mechanics and stuff that makes this game enough to stand up on its own (while not getting too complex because this first game will set up a formula for the next possible sequels I'll make in the future! Once I finish this game ofc)

Preview of the 1st level's final tiles (W.I.P)

I made some changes to the tileset itself too (and might make more).

Preview of the new 1st level: Now in vertical! (W.I.P)

If I put every single "1st level" I made into the game now then I'd have a full set of levels already

Also did some changes to the jump mechanic and did a bunch of optimization.

VERTICAL LEVEL!

Here you have to go up instead to the sides to complete the level (the jump mechanics work much better in this level format!)

This might or might not replace the existing horizontal (normal) levels.

1st level almost done!

Coded a new enemy system: they appear in 10 different places, but in reality there's only 4 of them! (It's not clones, that might be impossible on Gameboy unfortunally)
