Volcanic Island - Tiled Platformer - Lava-Themed Platforming Adventure
Sequel Development: Direct sequel to original Volcanic Island platformer. Sequel project accessible for series context. One week intensive development cycle from concept to completion.
Level Structure
Seven distinct stages featuring volcanic island theme. Progressive difficulty across carefully designed levels. Non-generic asset implementation ensuring unique visual identity.
Core Controls
Arrow key navigation only. Simple input scheme focusing player attention on environmental challenges. No complex button combinations required.
Environmental Hazards
- Void: Instant death upon falling off platform edges
- Monsters: Bouncy enemy creatures causing damage on contact
- Spikes: Lethal obstacles requiring precise positioning
- All hazards visually distinct and clearly communicated.
Decorative Elements
Chains and grey objects purely aesthetic - pass-through collision disabled. No gameplay impact from decorative assets. Environmental storytelling through non-interactive elements.
Trampoline Mechanics
Yellow trampoline platforms require specific activation condition. Player must already be falling downward to receive bounce boost. Timing-dependent vertical assistance - cannot activate from standing position.
Boss Battle Strategy
Unique endurance-based boss encounter. No attack required - pure survival challenge. Dodge bouncing projectiles and avoid lava pools. Boss automatically defeated after surviving attack duration. Pattern recognition and positioning only.
