Class ideas for a platformer

Help
1

Hello gimkitters [1] So im wanting to make a platoformer game for once [2] and well… i know im gonna be wanting to make it somewhat different from others

Normally in a platformer, theres one objective, and only one way, get to the end

What im wanting is somehwat the same objective [3] different paths… mostly accessable to all [4]

But most importantly CLASSES, yes… i think i said that correctly

The reason why im wanting classes is for a bit of difficulty in the game, since now you need to stratigize which the class you take (your not gonna be allowed to change though)

So if you have any class ideas… i would like you to use this format i made

  1. class name
  2. difficulty ussage
  3. passive ability
  4. activatable ability
  5. pros and cons of the class [5]

Now the main thing im gonna have the player climb is a mountain so you can make it fit what the map will be… or you can make it more in your own liking [6]

Oh… thanks for the reminded… the game will be both multiplayer and single player

And thank you if you do help

  1. or forumers ↩︎

  2. oh boy… im about to suffer ↩︎

  3. maybe even some endings based on which paths you took ↩︎

  4. some paths only accessable to certain things ↩︎

  5. so like speed debuffs/buffs, more/less stamina, ect… ↩︎

  6. if you want ↩︎

When you pressed the button it’ll teleport you to somewhere which could be a ending or different path, (turn the button invisible so it’s not obvious) and change a object to something else if you want

Uhmmm… thanks i guess… though thats not the main reason i made this topic… i was asking for ideas with classes… not endings [1]

^ [stuff hidden here] without the space inbetween the ^ and [ though

  2. Easy
  3. Gains 5 dynamic stone at each checkpoint (or other predetermined points if you don’t have any.)
  4. None
  5. None
    You should specify weather this game is multiplayer or not!

Class name → what the class is called when you are in the selecting area
Difficulty usage → how hard it will be to use to beat the game
Passive ability → an ability that doesn’t need to be activated
Activatable ability → an ability that starts working for a bit once used
Pros and cons → ups and down sides ti the class

Class name: Runner
difficulty usage: I don’t really know what you mean by this.
passive ability: speed boost
activatable ability: dash
pro and cons of class: upside is that the speed boost can help you get past massive jumps easier and the dash can help you pass other players con is that for small jumps its very hard

Use fragility for health and give someone a gadget and call them the griefer class

well I remember saying this idea in another topic, i’ll say it again because I think it was cool :P.

  • class name:
    Frosting
  • difficulty usage:
    medium/hard
  • passive ability:
    idk :sob:
  • activatable ability
    Slip- 1x movment speed for 5 seconds. (or more idk)
  • pros and cons of the class:
    The cons are: your speed is slower when you are walking on the ground. (not when you jump) The pros: nothing really. and the obstacles and candy and fruit I guess. oh and the ground is pink- or any other frosting color.

I probably did this wrong but that’s not OK :+1:

oh yes it is very my liking >:)

if you want it to be uh.. mountainie just make the frosting snow :D.

:P.
why is PROS not allowed :l

….this is a parkour game that is designed to be playable on single player

Alright… uhmmm… ima just gonna put this out because im noticing some people adding things to be damagers in abilitys [1]

The only way to annoy people would be with traps… i dont want ppl to eliminate others (because people could camp a spawn and just spawn kill everyone) [2]

Also anything I like MIGHT get added to the game with/without changes

  1. since normally there is no way to damage others in platformers ↩︎

  2. meaning no gadgets like zapper, pml, blaster, and no damaging mechanics ↩︎
