Demonstrated Skills
Pixel Art
The sprites and tiles in the game were created using Asesprite, a tool for creating pixel art images and animations. I demonstrate the ability to create decent art and animations for 2d sprite games.
Custom Jump Mechanics
I created custom platforming features and mechanics to improve the game feel and controls:
- Coyote time: Makes the jumps more forgiving.
- Input buffering: Jump button input stored for a few frames to make them more responsive.
- Drop-down: Ability to drop down thin platforms.
Entity Interactions
To make the game more interesting and engaging I crafted many interactions between various entities:
- Enemies can be harmed by falling heavy barrels.
- Enemies can be harmed by falling into spikes
- Barrels float on water and become platforms
