Thanks — - the game looks simple but as you say, don't be fooled.....

My game has been completed after several months of work.

Please visit http://planetserve.com/game to play the finished game.

Your support is appreciated!

The game is now complete and has been uploaded to newgrounds.com and itch.io. Wish me luck everybody!

Solomon - I am still progressing slowly... today I have added hidden bonus coins to the levels so I am slowly building in a reward system. One of the objectives of the game is to collect a predetermined amount of coins!

The latest version has been uploaded to http://planetserve.com/game/

Creative block is preventing me from designing a secret level! - has anyone any ideas for a simple bonus level?

Thanks Asmodean!

Asmodean, how do I speed the cycle up?

That's a clever way to do it Asmodean - thanks a lot.

However I try to do this I get the same result. The player sprite (green ball) seems to embed itself into the rotating platform when the platform travels upwards. I have tried this with a rotating sprite with a platform sprite pinned to it and the result is still the same. Is the Construct 2 engine not powerful enough to handle the maths?

Hi jobel, I like your thinking. There will be some sort of reward system in place when the game is complete. For the moment, I am concentrating on getting things to work properly and finishing the levels.

Hi JPatchZ, you make me laugh and give me inspiration. In fact, I have uploaded a new version with 10 LIVES just for you. Good luck.

Just bear in mind that the game isn't anywhere near complete yet...

Hi — I have been playing the game for many hours as I write it and personally feel that the random elements of the game are what make it more challenging. I didn't want certain parts of the game to be clinically programmed so that they follow a set path for a reason, as I wanted to add an element of luck to the game - is this a bad thing?

There are certain parts of the game that also require a lot of skill (nimble fingers) and the spinning platform is one example because, with practice, this becomes easy to pass.

I do appreciate the feedback though, as it is interesting to get other peoples take on the game.

This is the first time that I have used Construct 2 and I am still learning. I have started down a path and have to follow it to see where it leads. All the time I am learning and this is what drives me.
