PS: looks like it's going to be a nice game

Thanks. :)

So right now I have the player explode with the screen inverted. After that I want a death screen (A picture). What should that be?
Also what are some other ideas for the game? What should I add? What enemies should I add? What should they do? What would they look like?
What would the title screen look like?

So we've decided it's a platform game of some sort? Maybe you could add some platforms and other things to jump on. Maybe some switches that unlock doors and other things.
I know you require more, but it's tricky right now.
EDIT: More ideas and more details, tricky for me to come up with more details right now.

Yes.

Maybe you could add some platforms and other things to jump on. Maybe some switches that unlock doors and other things.

Like bouncy platforms like in GeoCore? Maybe be more specific?

I know you require more, but it's tricky right now.

What do you mean?

So, anybody else have any ideas?

I think it might be because of the previous game topic where it seemed you didn't want to do any work yourself (no offense), which pretty much deterred anyone (permanently) from giving anymore ideas. Sorry. But I myself don't have any right now anyway :/


If you absolutely do not want to do any art/design at all for your games, you might have to ask in another topic if somebody wants to team up with you for your future projects, else it will never be possible to get consistent ideas from people, as they are busy and stuff.

Yeah... ok. :/
I guess I was really lazy...
Though I already made lots of stuff like moving platforms and killing pixels and it has 4-level grayscale, and other stuff for this game, but I just need more ideas.

Yup. Now it works better.


I have added falling to where the player actually can fall more than 1 pixel at a time, without skipping collision!

Thanks to Xeda, Fishbot, and calc84maniac.

Here's a small screenie to show how it works (this is not a screenie of my game, but just an example of it in action).
(sorry it's an avi)

Thanks. :)
I could make it go even faster, but then it would have to check more pixels, which would be slower, so it would just look choppy. :P
This feature helps the game not seem so slow.
Does anybody have any other ideas?

Hehe, if you really want to challenge yourself, you could make it bounce, too. You could also add in loss of energy to make them stop bouncing at some point. Also, will they run into each other and stop?
