Some good plat hints:


Just saw a good comment on “What makes a good plataform game?”

According to user Grey Alien:

”- fairly large main character.

  • fast arcade like feel and smoothness

  • solid feeling player.

  • large array of character moves.

  • good enemy AI

  • no pixel perfect jumps (although near pixel perfect is acceptable for harder levels).

  • no falling through platforms.

  • should all platforms be solid (i.e. bang head if jumping up into them) or should you be able to jump up through them and land on them?

  • proper decent multi-directional scrolling which only kicks in as you move out of the centre area of the screen.

  • walk up slopes

  • gravity/friction/collisions

  • non-tiled looking level (not essential)

  • moving platforms

  • money/shop/upgrades

  • experience points

  • plot/cut-scenes/comic book

  • multi-layer graphics (background/parallax, current, foreground etc).

  • powerups and downgrades

  • really important to have a great feeling of exploration and secrets and hidden areas etc.”

I think i might be heading towards a plat game ! :)

Some time ago, we posted a screenshot of the Mexico level. A curiosity about it is that, like some other scenarios of the game, it was inspired by a real landscape, The Basaltic Prisms of Santa María Regla. It is one of the natural wonders of the country!
