Pretty fun game. I found a bug I think. I hit the reverse gravity thingy box and the roof was the floor but when I hit another reverse gravity box I stayed on the roof.

Would be nice if you could gain a little momentum and get away from the edge of the screen after getting stuck instead of staying at the edge till death.

Thanks Steven currently just using the cogs but will probably rotate them.

Thanks for your time.

Here you go.

Bar the fact that their seems to be no definitive goal, I think that looks pretty neat actually. You should totally come up with some sortof goal set for it (something to do with filling up the playfield with dots maybe or managing to get both linked creatures to a certain point before the lava rises with limits to how far you can stretch??).

Thanks.

The idea was to get as high as you can (levels where going to semi randomly generated) before being killed by the lava or the level obstacles.

The dots were supposed to show were the little blue guy would go. You don't directly control the blue guy, don't know if that came across well in the video. He follows your last path (the dots & will be limited) and you just tell him to move and stop, that's why the other guy is red (stop) or green (go).

And the black strechy thing is the camera. The game screen should follow between the 2 characters.

Well I probably won't finish it time for the challenge but I'll try expanding it see if it fun. Maybe post a demo see what people think.

Thats pretty nice too, thanks thoughtzone. If I get any more submissions I'll rotate them.

Would be better is the plasma stuff was shades of green though.

Also this doesn't fit the theme properly.

I think I have have found the problem though. If you click and save the default header the image is 1300x400 but Wordpress asks me to upload an image 900x200.

So if anyone else wants to take up the challenge try a 900x200 image please

Dissapointed now I thought I was onto something interesting.

Excellent.

Thanks Steven no rush whenever you get the time

Well you did say you wanted a HEADer.

That looks great Steven.

Unfortunately it doesn't line up as it does in your screenshot.

I've uploaded it to my blog and is set as the current header so you can see how it looks. Also I found the option to turn off the header text via Wordpress so you could add "Construct Tutorials" & "Tutorials & Examples For Construct 1 & 2" directly to the header image.

Thanks for taking the time to make something

Can anybody with some better graphics skills and better graphics programs than MS Paint make a quick header for my tutorials blog?

Link to the current header is here

And the link to how it looks on my blog page is in my sig.

I'm looking for something incorparating the construct logo and something that matches the current look/colour scheme of the blog. No need for the text. WordPress takes care of that.

Please don't spend too much time as I can't give you anything apart from my eternal gratitude & my first born child.

Thanks

Thanks. Hoping for a few more of these

Wall Jump and a few other platform examples can be found on my Tutorials Blog
