Growin' Around

Tutorial

Every level the character learn more abilities.

From level 1 the character can only change mass with plants using E or F and R to damage himself and lose mass with the possibility of restoring it with a given item a limited number of times.

From level 2 the character can perform a double jump.

From level 3 the character can shoot a hook to move between hookable surfaces.

The Idea

Platform game where the character is a plant-humanoid and will be surrounded by plants in a scenario similar to a laboratory where experiments were done with them. These other plants can be used to swap sizes and overcome obstacles.

How i working

In other jams I couldn't finish their games because I was too ambitious with the ideas, so in this jam I tried to stick to a simple idea.

I wanted to create a plattformer game, so i started thinking ideas for an application of the theme taking in account the genre. Then, with the idea setted, i create a board of task in GitHub to schedule what to do next and organice myself.

Mostly i follow this tasks, but i always have to do two or three in parallel because i want to test and debug them right away.

Tecnology

I am using Godot Engine.

Issues

I having issues with the assets, i dont know how to create them and i spend a lot of time searching for them with no adecuate results, so i ended using the first i find.

The game ends at level 3 due to lack of time.

The hook is not working as expected

• Hook doesn't release on death
• Always try to pull
• Can shoot the hook to himself
• Not always get hook
• Has no limit length
• Does not interact with the mass of the character other than being affected by increased gravity
