[40 Platformer Trials](https://arcade.makecode.com/S48491-07848-50779-83122)
This is a platformer game containing 40 unique levels, each one gradually increasing in difficulty. It is technically my first MakeCode Arcade game, but I’ve made games on other block based coding languages.
Controls:
WASD/Arrow keys - Movement + Dash direction
SPACE key - Jump
Menu - Select for Normal, Practice or Camera Mode,press Menu again to select one of them
ENTER key - For Practice Mode. Places and removes checkpoints depending on hold length
This game may potentially take you more than 1000 deaths to pass. Do not be scared to use practuce mode, you will require it. Good Luck!
Also, if anyone does this deathless, I may add an inhumanely difficult secret trial to this game 🙂

I _love_ seeing games like this. The code is very straightforward, and the heavy development is done in the tile maps. Reminds me a lot of the _Lemmings_ games and the _sokoban_-style games. Nice work!

I got a bit lazy with the code later on, seen by the way I coded the Mode Selection stuff, but I tried my best at structuring the code using functions and arrays so it’s very easy to change stuff

This game ain’t for the weak.
Only got up to stage 10.
But this game is really good with the most basic player platformer controls.

Got to stage 20… on an IPAD… I can successfully say this has the best gameplay in MakeCode history.

I beat a level with practice mode on, and it just restarted my level.

Yeah, pretty sure you have to beat it on regular mode for it to count.

Practice mode is meant for practice, not for completion. It’s supposed to increase your consistency at a trial and it’s a tool to help you beat a trial, but you can’t beat a trial while using it.

honestly out of all other people playing the game you probably got the farthest. I mean you literally passed 4 of the hitbox abuse trials and that takes a ton of skill, so I’m happy to see that my game is actually completeable by other people

Also, yes I’ll probably be making an update fixing some stuff such as the initial jump height inconsistency (which sometimes causes you to bonk a glitch block)

what does the red crystal do in room 16? it doesn’t appear to have any affect and it only gets used when I jump at the same time as I Wall bounce on the magma.

This game is amazing!!! The movements are so smooth and the whole game is really polished. This is probably one of my favorite platformers in MakeCode! 👏 👏 👏

It boosts you in the direction you are moving. To use it you have to jump and move in the direction you want to go at the same time.

If you mean the orange dash, then it just gives you more speed than the blue dash.
If you mean the roughly mushroom shaped orb, it gives you 2 jumps. It ONLY activates when you don’t have 2 jumps in the first place tho

That’s the intended way. Good job on figuring it out!

this didn’t help, but It made me test it again, and I tried dashing down to the right and I basically did a Celeste wavedash… this is gonna be fun
