So, I finally decided to try and make some
short, simple, little game.
I made all the graphics in less than an hour, and putting the level together also took less than an hour, including several tests. It's not done...but it's playable...I think.
http://www.stencyl.com/v10/game/play/2069When I try playing it on here, it's super duper slow. It's normal speed when I play it from StencylWorks. If it seems super slow, please let me know. The controls are simple. Left arrow makes you move left, right arrow makes you move right, and Z makes you jump. The goal is to go up! You "finish" by touching the Moon. But I don't know how to make a results screen yet, so nothing actually happens. Just consider it done once you touch it. Also, try to stay on the screen...I tried the Cannot Exit Screen behavior, but all it did was make Batface appear near the top of the stage, stuck in place. Weird. Since the Always Simulate behavior is there however, there's a chance you can get back on screen...if you react fast enough, and are high enough. If you think the collision is weird, note that Batface's collision box is 32 x 32.
So...all I need is to find a way to stop Batface from being able to go off screen; make a results screen (tells you your time, and gives you a title based on how fast you were); and a title screen, probably with the game's
complicated controls. Oh, and a song, there might be something fitting on the Forge though. And...perhaps I could use a different jump sound effect?
