For my first LD I’m pretty pumped for the theme(More complicated and I might not finish)

To challenge myself I am making a game type I’ve never worked on before, Platformer. So my first 6 hours have been spent mostly making the basics of a platformer, nothing too fancy. I think im going to call it MiniJump because I’m tired and can’t think of anything better right now.

6 hours later Heres what I have a video for those who want a peek:

And a download for those who want to play with it a bit:

All you have to do is download the Rar, Extract the folder, and run the Jar. Simple! Windows only for now till I can test it on other platforms. Left Right arrows to move, Space to Jump.

I have More stuff on the Game after the Break as to not take up 100 Pages here

Being my first LD I won’t lie, I aimed Pretty low on the complexity scale, I was really inspired by a lot of platformers I had played Recently, and a minimalist theme just fell together with the simple mechanics of a platformer.

For now the game isn’t complicated, Get from point A to point B. Easy.

I do plan to add some Hazards but I’m waiting till I have more ground work laid out, and nothing overly complicated. the key is going to be the look of the levels, I am working on a really interesting design for the blocks that make up the level. I am hoping to make them have a Minimalistic Art feel, Like a Minimalist Painting. Between different levels, I will make the levels with different Blocks with different Textures or colors.
