Deans Arcade V2
Triangle Vs Square
Click pictures to enlarge them.
I had never done a platformer like this before and I knew I wanted to make it a single screen affair. So astro got bundled in to the game as you have to save him from falling in to the lava. With jumping mechanics similar to Joust this game has an unusual feel to it. This was supposed to be someones birthday presant before we fell out, Happy Birthday Evans if your seeing this.
The Controls
Left Left Arrow OR A
Right Right Arrow OR D
Jump Space Bar OR Ctrl OR Numpad 0
How To Play
The object of the game is to touch the squares without hitting the spikey triangles attached to them. When you touch them they will go up and will disappear when they hit heavens devide.
Tip: You can go off the edges of the screen and come back around the other side.
Tip: If their are spikes on top of the square hit the side without any.
Tip: if you want to go further when jump to the left or right, move in the direction before jumping.
Tip: You can jump while in the air.
Level (and its timer)
The level goes up by 0.5 every 30 seconds or by .25 when a block hit the lava. If a block hits the lava it resets the level timer, but if the level hits 15 then the player dies.
The higher the level is the more difficult the game becomes.
Heavens Devide
Once a block goes up in to Heavens Devide it will disappear dropping a space man. If you collect these space men the level timer goes up by 5 seconds and you gain points.
The player will also disappear if they go above Heavens Devide so be careful.
Combo Points
To gain a bigger score you can do one of two things.
1: Collect space men without any of them hitting lava, this will double their points each time.
2: Keep hitting squares and dont let any of them hit the lava, some squares are worth more than others.
Experiment and have fun. :)
