Platformer v.1.3: A Comprehensive Scratch Platforming Experience
Platformer v.1.3 is a feature-packed, community-built platformer originally created in Scratch and now hosted externally for smooth play. This game goes far beyond simple running and jumping, incorporating multiple systems that add depth and replay value.
Gameplay and Varied Controls
Master the basics with the arrow keys for precise movement and jumping. The experience expands with several interactive subsystems:
- Shop & Customization: Use your mouse to browse and buy new character skins in the in-game shop, then select your favorite.
- Wheel of Fortune: Try your luck at the reward wheel, spinning it with a mouse click or the spacebar.
- Combat: Employ classic platformer tactics by jumping on the heads of enemies to defeat them.
- Advanced Movement: Execute a wall-jump by pressing against a wall and then tapping the up arrow.
- Social Feature: Press the 'E' key to access a chat function.
Note: The developer indicates that playing on mobile devices is significantly more challenging due to touchscreen controls.
A Community Creation
This project is a testament to collaborative creation. Special thanks are extended to Scratch legend @griffpatch for foundational tutorials on platformer programming, cloud levels, and game logic. Numerous other Scratchers contributed key assets, including portal and key sprites, visual effects for special skins, the player selection interface, the achievement system, the Wheel of Fortune mechanics, intro animations, and icons.
Platformer v.1.3 stands as a rich, multifaceted game that combines action, customization, chance, and skill, reflecting the vibrant ecosystem of its source community.
