GameFeel Platformer

One of Unity's template microgames, altered with the purpose of learning about 'game feel'.

Controls:

Move: [A][D] - running speed increases per step, resets when you turn around
Jump: [W] or [SPACE]
Crash: Happens automatically when you fall from high enough
Slide: Hold [S] while sprinting - must be above a certain speed

Slimes can only be killed while Crashing or Sliding!

Additions (in order of implementation)

--- WEEK 1 ---

1. Tweaked movement parameters to give the character more 'weight'
2. Crash functionality ('S' while airborne) added so the player can fall down quicker
3. Dust particles for crashing, sprinting and landing
4. Sprint functionality ('SHIFT') added, allowing the player to take a run-up before jumping
5. Gems are attracted towards the player from a small distance
6. Enemies leave a trail to communicate their movement path
7. Crash functionality expanded for AoE damage based on falling height for more impact
8. Size of Crash particles (incl. new dirt particles) made to scale with falling height
9. Turning around while Sprinting causes the character to Slide before their direction is flipped
10. Manual Slide functionality ('S' while Sprinting) added
11. Colour palette changed to make the game a bit more vibrant
12. Made the activation of Crashing while airborne more reliable
13. Sprint is now always on
