You could either randomize this or have two types of spawners, either 3 or 2, and they are interlaced on the x axis so that player is forced to move if they want to reach the end.\n- you could also have the cloud and negative obstacles impact the x velocity of the player to make it more of a ragdoll effect.\n\nBugs:\n- didn't notice any.","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":626377,"author_name":"vegmuffin","author_uid":"vegmuffin","epoch":1619445191,"text":"It's pretty wacky!

I like the suggestions you made. I did consider randomizing the spawnspots more, but I thought you would probably lose the game if you just stay in one spot (if you collect nothing you lose, if you stay in 1 row you will probably collect way to many weights -since they have a bigger chance of spawning -and lose), and also I ran out of time :)\n\n@vegmuffin Thanks for playing my game :).

I agree the fall might have been a bit shorter, I wanted to give a feeling of a fall that lasts forever, but might have gone a bit to far with it..
