So you want some unique ideas? I really like having text appear when you step into a certain zone. It makes the platformer feel much more interactive and fun to play :>

What’s your platformer going to be about? I can come up with some more ideas based on your game’s theme, if ya want!

that sounds awesome! I can Invision it.. my theme is a sort of the higher you go the deeper in the Earth’s crust.. I might do it from going from the core to the outside, but for now I’m not sure. TYSM!!

add a barrier, and a trigger. wire them like that.

now, add these settings. you can change the delay based on how quickly you want it to dissapear.


I’m pretty sure that’s it! :D.

OH AND

make sure to make so if the player falls/respawn the barrier also respawns! its easier to make it so that when you trigger, it activates ANOTHER TRIGGER (with longer delay) to activate the barrier


wait sry I just realized you said moving platforms not disappearing…
well the work kinda the same way @Silly_Tango

That’s… actually a really original idea for a game! I’ve actually been working on something similar, except you travel through the Earth’s atmosphere into space. Great minds think alike, right? Here’re the ideas I promised:

  • In the very center of the Earth, rock platforms melt from the magma’s heat. Jump quickly from one to the other to avoid getting stuck! (Make sure to add plenty of checkpoints here, disappearing platforms not reappearing unless you respawn without continuous checkpoints can irritate a bunch of people lol)

  • Assuming the first level is on the top of Earth’s crust, you could make the starting setting inside a park with a huge mining operation happening. Do I smell lore opportunities??

  • Adding onto the previous suggestion, the mining operation can be attempting to mine into a newly-formed VOLCANO. dun-dun-DUN!!!

I’ll edit this post if inspiration strikes! :+1:


I’M TAKING THIS AS PERMISSION TO MAKE LORE, AND I HAVE A REALLY GOOD IDEA, SO IT’S GOING HERE ٩(^ᗜ^ )و


The company you work for, Exceptional Excavation, has made a monumental discovery. A volcano has recently formed in the public park, and using recently developed protective technology, the company is able to send a gim into the center of the Earth. One of the most respected, able-minded, and able-bodied gims of your time, EE chooses you to take the first step into a place gimkind has never been able to explore before. (If you’re adding collectables into the game, you can have the player collect “samples” of magma and rocks along the way.)


You can ask me to elaborate, change, or add to this at any time!
