So, writing a Metal Storm clone is just way to complex for me right now, so I'm working on a vertically scrolling platformer instead (something like Kid Icarus). This is what I got so far. You can disappear from one side and reappear from another.

Added platforms. To stand on. There are also platforms offscreen to prevent the character from falling in the "transition zone" between wrapping to the other side of the screen. Something to keep in mind when implementing an actual level format and level editor.

Implemented a level format and a scrolling camera.
