Screen Cutter by squirrel
"In Screen Cutter you take control of a small ball living insider a computer screen. To advance to the next level, you need to reach the goal flag. To do this, you have the ability to cut and paste parts of the computer screen you live in. Since these parts are solid, they can be used to reach new places. But be careful! If you fall off from your screen, you will have to start all over again!"
Screen Cutter is a platformer where you can cut and paste pieces of the screen where you exist to reach new places. I decided to take the part of "One Screen" literally, trying to use it as part of the platforming mechanics. There are 6 levels in the game and it includes a few instructions.
Controls: Move and jump using the arrow keys. Cut and paste parts of the computer screen by using the mouse.
Tools used:
- This game uses Phaser 2.2.1, which can be downloaded from http://phaser.io/
- The music was made using Otomata (http://www.earslap.com/page/otomata.html)
- The sound effects were made using Bfxr (http://www.bfxr.net/)
It's a very simple game, but I hope you enjoy it!

Super concept, I'll be back to rate
Good concept!
i found a game-breaking exploit though, which i only found in the last few levels--
if you cut-paste screen over a wall block, you can overwrite it, pick up the new block, and open passageways through ANYTHING.
@tudd :Ah, yes! I was aware of some of the little bugs, but since I didn't have much time left, I decided to let them be (just in case I broke something!).
@Blocker: Gah, you're right! Ehm, since there's no time left, let's just say it's a feature.
@sportsquid: Yep yep, it's really simple. I couldn't really find ways to make the levels more complex with the blocks I had added, and then I ran out of time. Something to keep in mind for next time.
But I think it's a really cool interpretation of the theme, maybe it would be a good idea to go a bit more "meta" with the game (having to go outside of the screen and such), if you continue working on it ;)
The copy/paste mechanic in itself is quiet good, but not very well explained (I didn't understand I could only cut piece of the screen itself... I was trying to rearange the level)
the music was also a bit repetitive
