Gameplay

Jump and slash platforming.

There is no damage or lives, but there is knockback and team attacking. The closer you are, the more knockback you get. Fall into the pit and you will need to press start to respawn.

Screen follows 1P (2D Sonic and Tails style) to avoid gimping jumps, so keep up 2P!

Development

This is actually 3 different engines.

• ☑⁡⁡ A: Mostly gameplay elements.
• ☑⁡⁡ B: Custom UI and better rendering.
• ☑⁡⁡ C: Mostly engine B with pluggable parts for 3D (like UI).

Tile stage support for Pyxel Edit and baseline support for Tiled's .tmx format. This includes variable alpha transparency (visible in the demo). Tiled will wipe map values if it detects corrupted data at load, which is pretty scary. Make sure to have back ups if you are manually editing the XML or CSV data.

Physics

Basic 2D physics and simu-physics include:

• ☑⁡⁡ Springy, pressure-sensitive jump.
• ☑⁡⁡ Acceleration and drag (friction with sliding).

Effects

• ☑⁡⁡ Tint: characters tint red when hit.
• ☑⁡⁡ 2D Shadows: skewed texture animates, but does not shrink mask or collide properly yet (needs ray casting).
• ☑⁡⁡ Animating Water: which is two translating png textures (tiled by x).

To-Do

• ☑⁡⁡ Advanced UI.
• ☑⁡⁡ Engine-based toolset & editor.
• ☑⁡⁡ Pluggable to 3D for hybrid '2.5D' sims.
• ☑⁡⁡ Netplay.
