Hopscotch (MBF21) [idgames]

[lunchlunch]

Hopscotch contains twenty mini-maps, each containing a short platforming/puzzle challenge. Maybe I'll make more maps at a later date but right now I'm all out of ideas and don't want to rehash any scenarios. MBF21 format, software rendering recommended.

I love platforming and puzzles ! I'm gonna go for it :)

Had fun with these, nice set.

 

Maps 08 and 19 are my favorite.

 

Some personal thoughts, not really complaining, just a few ideas maybe:

Spoiler

1. Maybe give a player blue armor in map 08 so that the screen is not so red? You can damage the player to prevent him cheesing it by jumping in place the first time.

2. I would personally give a player 80 cells and not 160 in map 18 on UV but up to you of course. The map is so short, you can afford forcing player to two-shot I think :)

3. Playing map 19 and then map 20 made me kinda wish there was a map 19 version with an invisibility sphere to make it more chaotic.

This is pretty cool! I got up to 16 before calling it quits for now. Love seeing puzzle elements in Doom.

That's pretty cool, kinda like platforming tutorial, even if there aren't that many platforming maps in it. :P

Also lol at the last map, kinda reminds me of wormwood EU? Well might be my memory messing with me.

Kinda wish later 10 maps have a different midi though.

There was probably too much rote jumping in the middle. But some of the puzzles were serious head-scratchers. Although the last map's monster count more made me laugh.

Thanks everybody

Not quite sure what you mean by jumping in place. I know you're interested in demos so I don't think you mean literally enabling jump.

I meant that with blue armor you can get zapped and shoot a switch while staying on the initial platform and then get zapped the second time to actually avj to the teleporter. So to avoid that and still add blue armor you can either damage the player or make the barrier to the exit open on a timer and then close again, so the player is forced to shoot a switch while flying over to the teleporter.

But if the heavy red screen is completely intended experience then of course it all doesn't matter :)
