When i saw this guy, i thought that he should go fast  

[l0bster]

Been a while again  

Some things that happened in the meantime:
Some visual treats have been made. Now the game has some SFX sprites, which are all editable, so you can give it your own touch
Between the levels there is a fade in and out animation, to make switching between the levels less chaotic.
The biggest feature that was made, is the dash ability. All things can be seen here:



It all kinda sounds pretty obvious while making a platformer   But it was all a little more complex, as those things are supposed to be editable by the user and are related to the custom player attributes which can be adjusted to the users desire.

For the dashing mechanic i tried to add some helper features in favor of the player. F.e. there is a buffer between the dash-button press and when it's executed, so the player can also activate the dash while he is in the air, shorty before landing on the ground, or chain a lot of dashes on the ground. (for the speedrunners   )



Also it's possible to dash directly while hugging a wall to push away from it, for some interesting level designs



I guess it won't be long until i post a link for everyone to test the tool here, as there are already a lot of possibilities to create diverse games

Lately i created the possibility to create animations for each object. That includes simple decor stuff, or interactive elements.



That way you can make the scene feel more alive



Also, created a new element - the thwo...stomper  
It can be rotated in all 4 directions, will then check if you are in the way and will fly torwards you

i thought i'll post the link to the project here already 
it's not public for everyone, more like a link to a "private beta": https://the-l0bster.itch.io/pocket-platformer
feel free to check it out and of course leave feedback

I've been working on an improved collission detection lately For now it is applied to the "stomper" enemy.
They will now interact with each other in all kinds of ways -> if they bump into each other, they stop attacking, if they are already moving back to their initial position, they'll wait, while other stompers are in the way

I loved it, really loved everything you have shown until now, the artwork is nice and good, and I really fell in love with pixel art or old school type of games haha, because they make all my old movements come alive again. 

I will just request one thing if you can get this game on Android, it will be fun and really cool, you can put a story mode with some levels say 50 maybe less or more it's on you, and a mode in which we can play other players levels, like user levels, something like that , haha there is a lot more you can do with this.

Thanks for sharing with us.
Enjoy.

Thx  for the compliments :*
Although this project is not a game. It's a tool to make games in, similar to Mario maker  
There will be games made with it of course, I myself will make some showcase - games, but making games will be mostly up to other people
And sorry, no android port

Oh ok, sorry haha I was thinking that you are making a game and there is a option to design some custom levels, I think I missed something , but yes it's really nice and good that it's a tool I like it and really nice.

About the Android port, no problem haha never mind I can understand that but yeah you are doing a good work.

The tool has been online for a while now and a couple people already made games with it
If you are interested in it, i've gathered them all in a collection on itch.io: https://itch.io/c/1932056/games-made-with-pocket-platformer
