Controls: Left,Right,Space,T
Instalation: Unzip the polyman folder and run the Thepolyman.exe
Final thoughts:This is my second LD. This game is in my opininon way better that the last one. Thank you every one for checking my game out.
Description: There is a man named poly. He was blessed by the gods with the ability to change forms. Help him win through the stages
Levels: I have implemented this feature from the start but never did mentioned it.
You can really easily make your own levels.
How?:So when you download the game and unzip it ,in the same folder there is a folder named levels and inside that .txt named levels.There you see a level!##### and #####level1.Also the same for 2 and 3. Inside the contents of level1##### and #####level1 as well as level2 and level3 there are a lot of symbols.you can rewrite the contents of that with a method.First you need to know that you can write up to 40 lines and how many columns you want.
Use: Capital B: a single rectangle with dimensions bases on game screen width and height. Capital T: is basically a capital B but with 4B width and 1B height.
Capital S: The same with T but instead of width it adds height. Capital D: is basically a 40B height and 1B width. Capital R: 1B height and 40B width. Capital E:is a T in every direction but has a property of ending the current level. The "." is nothing but refer from using any other symbol than "." cause i dint include any other symbols in my platform making class.
Conclution: You can make your own levels by writing inside the levels 40 X 100+ every character including "." make spawn a block at a number based on how many sumbold before it.The screen is basically a 40X100+ surface so if you want to spawn something at 4 position you need to write ...B insted of B. Give it a try it is not as difficult as you may thing after all i had to make it easy for myself :)
Bugs: Many of you metioned in the comments some things and i thought i should point them out so you it will not ruin your experience.
Problem: there is a bug that sometimes prevents you from moving left or right.
Solution: You jump and you can bypass those points.
Cause: I have a file named levels.txt you can check it out either on my
source or the game itself i have a folder named levels. So basically the way i generate the levels is based on that file and i believe that the platforms overlap and cause that bug.I will fix it sometime this week
Problem:you can jump on the walls
Solution: you can out of them though there is no point to do so
Cause: the same as above i believe that platforms overlap
When i started i had planned to make the human to climb but i was so focused on making some little changes on the game mechanics i had no time to do so. So you literally spam T . I tried to balance it out with making the rabbit slow but didnt work :P.
