Multiplayer Scrolling Platformer Engine - Build Your Own Games

Multiplayer Scrolling Platformer Engine is a 100% original code and art toolkit released as a Christmas gift to the community. It is explicitly labeled as an ENGINE, not a full game, meaning developers are encouraged to use it as a foundation for their own projects with proper credit.

Technical Features

The engine uniquely combines both scrolling camera mechanics and multiplayer functionality in a single package, drawing some inspiration from @griffpatch's work but executed independently. A December 2020 update introduced slope detection and fall-based death mechanics, enhancing the physics simulation.

How to Use

For integration, users are advised not to use the Scratch backpack; instead, they should download the file via "File > Save to your computer" and upload it into a new project, or simply remix directly. This ensures all underlying systems transfer correctly. With a compact but powerful codebase, it offers creators a turnkey solution for building multiplayer platformers without starting from scratch.
