N-Ball platform game in progress

Good points octothorpe.

>too many vehicles in the game

cmon there are only 3 :P

I found the wall that you need to go under at the end of level two to be the most difficult section of the game. Maybe move this obstacle to a later level?



good point. I dont want people to get stuck at the beginning

I was able to skip some difficult parts of the game by speeding rediculously quickly over them and finding a helpful wall to slow down with. I only ever jumped on the middle platform of the three-hanging-platforms object. Maybe you could make some objects need to be touched before the player can continue (either because they lower platforms, raise doors, or just make the goal work.) Alternately, you could put a limit on the horizontal velocity, or make it more difficult to accelerate the faster you're already going.



Heh good point. I'll see what I can do


>Display the elapsed time and the current level on the screen. Ditch "lives" altogether. Keep track of fastest completion times for each level.

Nah, I prefer "lose as least lives as possible", I dont want people to rush!

>I don't think it needs a minimap - exploration was fun! :D

yeah I dont want to show too much otherwise people would just zoom through the whole level ;P

Thanks!
