Citrus Engine Experiment #2: Trusty Platform

Posted on: September 06, 2009 in: Experiments

As I post side-scrolling experiments now and then, I’ll be putting up some strange things that hopefully you haven’t seen before. Some of them may work well (hopefully) and some of them may not. Feel free to tell me what you think of them and how they can be improved! I might just make your recommended adjustment since these are…experiments!

This experiment, which I am calling “Trusty Platform”, is part of an overall idea I had where platforms would respond to the hero’s actions. The Trusty Platform moves itself below you at the last second to catch you. If you run off of it though, it won’t be able to catch you in time. Check it out, see if you can cross the chasm, then let me know what you think.

If you have an idea, let me know and maybe I’ll do it! Or, go grab the Citrus Engine when it comes out on September 28th, and see what you can come up with!
