The game is a 2.5D side scrolling platformer game (no Z movement at all), much like mario, loderunner and jumpman. I need to have the character to do the following movements / actions.
Hi!
I know it's a very old post, but I want to reply anyway.
How is it going with your project? Did you get any further with the controller?
I'm also working on a 2D platformer, (not 2.5D) similar to Jumpman and Lode Runner. My character can only walk left and right, jump/double jump, climb ladders and climb ropes horizontally. It's working good so far. The only problem I have, is to make a good AI like in Lode Runner. It's very difficult.
