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.

I'm probably going to scrap this project and work on something simpler. The whole changing gravity mechanic became way to complex. I only got the idea because @binkle suggested a VVVVVV clone and @ItsSkyDragonz suggested a MegaMan style game. I thought I could combine both, but it just got confusing writing code for both gravitational states.

I though instead I could just make a vertically scrolling platformer, kind of like Kid Icarus, but maybe without the RPG elements.

#gamedev #SFML

Inverted platforms have now been implemented.

#gamedev #SFML

Added platforms that you can jump onto from the bottom. Now, I need to implement an inverted version for when the gravity is inverted.

#gamedev #SFML

Added knockback and support for multiple levels.

#gamedev #SFML

I've been experimenting with jumping in addition to the changing gravity mechanic. I'm not sure if I'm going to include both though.

#gamedev #SFML

Added upside-down turrets.

#gamedev #SFML

Added turrets.
