I'm just playing so far. :)

I had an interesting idea for a puzzle/platformer. I built a quick concept demo and the puzzle aspect worked pretty well, but there was nothing to the platform engine. I began new, starting with the platform aspect this time. Maybe if I ever get something running that I'm happy with, I'll go back and add the puzzle element back in and see how it works as a whole.

I still might post the other demo here - the puzzle bit is unique to anything I have ever seen before. I'd also like to think on it and maybe develop it into something even more complex and interesting. Who knows? Soon, I'll be back in school and won't have as much time to goof around.

Thanks for the comments. I intend to make the springs pushable. I don't know whether or not I'll go as far as make the rocks bounce on the springs. I have thought about giving the pixelman the ability to lift objects. Looking back on the Little Bill demo, I may add a balloon to help the pixelman float. I started playing with moving platforms last night - though I haven't got it working quite right yet. I don't think I'll give the character a weapon or any violent abilities; I've been impressed by recent non-violent games I've played. I'm open to suggestions for any additional touches.
