My first guide in A WHILE. Decided to do platformers since its a pretty easy topic. Finally getting back into the swing of things!

Item Images + Barriers

It’s pretty simple and broadens the scope of usable “props”. Super fun! Just place down an item image and fit a barrier to it. Make sure you turn off the visibility on the barrier.

Arranging props makes your map more interesting and harder to beat! Here are some of mine:

From @Txme_Lxss
You can give the player a game overlay, aka their “controller”
you can swap red and blue colors. Basically, if it’s on red mode, only red barriers appear. Blue, yeah you get it.
Making a guide on it

That’s it for now! I’ll add more over the weeks.

This is pretty nice!

There might be other guides like this- so you might wanna be careful.

Also I feel like Propsian is good, another alternative could also be propian.

I think so…? But most of those stay on one specific part of a map.

A lot of people have been adding “-ian” to the end of their names for funsies hehe! Ex. VoidFluffian, Blizzian, etc.

For the innovative jumps, (inspired by flipswitch factory) you can give the player a game overlay, aka their “controller”

you can swap red and blue colors. Basically, if it’s on red mode, only red barriers appear. Blue, yeah you get it.
