I need some inspiration to make new, more difficult levels (to play and to code) and was hoping you guys might come up with some cool ideas. The concept of my game is very easy: get your character to the door t advance to the next level. I've inserted some specials blocks witch move, fall,... if u hit them. Hope you guys have some cool ideas , THX in advance.

You could also look into adding enemies the player has to avoid. You would not have to do complex AI for them. Just put them between two sets of blocks or on a platform. If they collide with a block or the ends of platform reverse their direction. This would introduce collision between two sprites, an important aspect of 2D games.

Like that one game that gave me nightmares for years when I was little, if you stay in the room/level past xxx time, a giant monster/skull thingy came out and chased you and played scary music while your screen flashed huddles in corner in fetal position @____@" Ah, here it is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venture_(arcade_game) This post has been edited by NeoTifa: 2 Nov, 2009 - 07:38 AM
