Title: Endless Dodger
Post by: marcos on March 25, 2015, 04:01:29 AM: Hey,

Been working on a mini project before I start my new job. Almost finished:

And a webplayer:

Would love feedback on how it plays. I feel like it probably needs another gameplay element in order to stand out.

I had considered it! That and an invulnerability thing perhaps. I'm not sure if powerups will be enough, or if there should be a more significant gameplay change.

Animations are coming! Literally the next thing on my to-do list! :)

Would you say a Blinx or Braid system would be complicated to achieve in playmaker?

It would be doable, but yeah, I'd imagine it'd be complicated. I haven't really looked into it.

Here's a first pass of the snail's 'walk' animation:

Nah, I used Blender for all of the animations.

Latest gameplay video:

New Stuff:

- Animations
- Coin Powerup, when you fill up the coin meter, you become invulnerable for a period of time. Colliding with snails when you're a Super Turtle will defeat the snail and award more points as you defeat more snails.

Post by: Graham on April 10, 2015, 01:06:55 PM: I totally love your style! When I got to about 70 point I started getting motion sickness though lol. Maybe if the camera started looking down the hole at a sharper angle the faster you go? That way you could also plan your moves a little earlier.

Anyways just a though, keep up the good work!

I'll have a look at how I can tweak it somehow without having to change too much.
