I Made The Hardest Puzzle Game Ever
Рет қаралды 268,852
Күн бұрынPretty much Geometry dash on steroids.
In this video, I made a challenging rage-inducing puzzle platformer about gravity. It was made using python, with the Pygame library. It also has a level editor. According to my playtesters, it might even be the hardest platformer ever, maybe even a rage game, kinda like getting over it
After this, I plan to move on to another game engine, such as gamemaker, godot, unreal engine, or maybe even unity, but I’m not so sure, since they partnered with a malware company and laid off a bunch of employees or whatever. Might also do some pygame tutorials in the future.

I was hoping to participate in the GMTK game jam in July, but had to leave for vacation, so maybe I'll catch the next Wowie Jam in August
Quick tip when trying to run the game: PyGame doesn’t use RAM or your GPU, just your CPU, so keeping other apps closed while playing would be ideal
Thanks for watching :)

Thank you guys for watching! Sorry if the clips shown don't match the described order in which the features were added, I didn't get as much footage of early development as I should have. ALSO: If your computer still says the game is a virus, it's just a false positive, but if you don't believe me, the source code is on the itch.io page if you wanna put it together yourself. ALSO ALSO: I have yet to finish implementing different resolutions / screen sizes, as it currently only supports 1920/1080. If you load up the game and the screen looks cut off, don't worry, I'll do my best to get lower resolutions to work within the next few days, hopefully. (Update: failed to implement this, but going into your computer settings and setting native resolution to 1920/1080 might work depending on your monitor)

UPDATE CONCEPTS: 1. More slime colors and abilities! I love the complicated aspect of different abilities being useful at different times, so why not make more! 2. A new block or something that changes your color when you stand on it or be around it in some way or another. You could also have this color changing mechanism as an interactive. However, you would need to be able to tell what color you are going to change into (or not if you want some randomization and/or risk-taking). 3. A teleporter thing that can be a block or a portal or whatever. When you fall into it or step on it, you are teleported to the teleporter linked to it. If you wish, you can make slimes able to re-enter teleporters at will. (this one is somewhat complicated, so it isn't one that I really care too much about; but it would still be very cool to see, and would open up so much new gameplay.)

Great! I love it. Games with level editors are always great, especially platformers. It could easily make this game last for years without major updates and still have an active community. That is, if you ever added an easier way to share levels to the whole world. Updating this game to have easily shareable levels (similar to geometry dash’s system) could make this game EXTREMELY big. Could be very difficult to do, and it probably is, but if you make if bigger, better, and add that system, maybe it could be a pretty popular indie game with an active community.
