Ever wanted to became a pixel toast, making your way through an endless pixel kitchen?
Well, here I'd just like to show you my first proper project here; ‘Toast ∞ platformer’.

It's a simple but fun pixel art game that times you as you try to avoid the kitchen obstacles.
There's optional music, and I'm hoping to add cloud highscores once I'm a scratcher.

Just see for yourself. Feedback is appreciated. https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/320751547/

There are 3 randomly looping levels (as of 14/7), but I'm working steadily on new designs.
Thanks

The problem with the fridge is that you're using color as a collision mechanism. It would be much better to use a hitbox, rather than color, because then it wouldn't matter what color the toast was touching, so long as they were touching the thing they should've collided with.

And I was right about to ask for help on forums on wall jump…
Could you possibly remix my code with the hitbox thing? If it fixes the game…

You could just do ‘if touching arrow <>’ and I put in mobile code in afterwards.
It'd be amazing if you did

Edit- How does hitbox work anyway? I heard of it… I presume the sprite won't fall through anything?

bumb, looking for help making my game support mobile jump^^

Basically, rather than using the actual sprite graphic as a way to detect collision, a simple box is used for that purpose, because you can't really get snagged on a corner using a box. Here's an example of a possible hitbox for mario.



When mario hits something that he should collide with, it's not the sprite, but the green box, that is colliding.

I will remix your project and add it. That should fix the “moving through the fridge” bug. And I'll add mobile support.

Ah, this. Ok, thanks, I'll probably credit you!
By the way, is the game and concept nice overall..? Like, anything to improve? ^-^

adding a scrolling background would be cool, I have some code that you can use right here: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/321204605/editor

Thanks so much for this! Implemented into proper version,
plus I also used the clones for the cupboards instead of 2 sprites

You're credited in the description, if you havn't seen already, welp.

Just checking, are you going to do the hitbox walljump remix?
Because that'd be awesome, if you know how, which I assume you do…

SOLVED BY WORKAROUND!
