A Lively Level Generator by paetramon

[raw]
made by paetramon for Ludum Dare 49 (JAM)

This randomization in this level is out of control! It was only supposed to randomize once when the game starts but it just keeps mixing it up. You need to jump into the trapdoor to reach the maintenance area and restart the level generator!​

Controls:

WASD / Space - Movement / Jump

LMB - Interact with the button and the generator

This game was made in 48 hours as an Unreal Engine 4 learning exercise

I won so fast the first time but the second time, it randomized too fast. is that block in the middle of that one room the trap door? I fell through the floor without reason a few times. I think that, when the geometry refreshed, the collision disappeared long enough for me to just fall through.

@whysguy52 It's all almost completely randomized, so there will be times where the trapdoor (that block in the middle of the room) does spawn right in the first room when you walk through the doors. The trapdoor shuffling algorithm does prevent it from moving to the same room as you, but sometimes you'll move to the same room as the trapdoor. So that's probably why you fell through the floor seemingly without reason. I tested a solution to that problem but I've had some friends encounter it, so seems my testing wasn't quite good enough. Thank you for playing though! It was definitely a learning exercise in Unreal, but hopefully it was at least slightly enjoyable too :)

Love the concept. Thematic and very meta/funny. The gameplay was a little random. It didn't feel like there was much strategy in it other than walking into rooms and hoping the trapdoor would move there.

Sucessfully beat the game. Adding music can made it more fun
