Doesn’t a square have two right triangles?

a recent optimization to my 3d engine has literally made it 50 times faster! this means that we could use @randomuser 's model!

_me, having already started a spreadsheet for a 2D version of the game_

Okay @Brohann, hear me out…

Would this gameplay work for the 3D engine?

> 2D gameplay, you enter levels via paintings; 15 levels, 5 secret ones

> run around collecting stars w/ Pizza Tower physics and stuff; 5 stars in each level

> Flip Meter allows you to make the game into 3D, gaining new perspective to get certain stars

> secret 6th star unlocked by killing Larry Block (the Pillar John replacement from Pizza Tower) and activating Star Rush

> go back to start of level to receive the 6th star, then hop in the painting and repeat for the next level

> unlock characters by fighting bosses that guard each floor; each character has their own playstyle, allowing them to get stars that the others can’t

> secret post characters exist, ya gotta find them

1. Sounds plausible… if you reach a certain area of x, y, and z, values you would warp to the next world. (Or maybe if you collide with the painting, but IDK if thats possible)
2. IDK Pizza tower but that sounds like it would work, although once again collisions are not confirmed so it might rely on coordinates
3. 0\_0 I think not
4. Yeah, if the other stars work that should work
5. Sounds good
6. That just sounds like a code thing not a 3d thing so it should work!
7. Same as 6!  
(This is all my opinion IDRK what brohann will say XD)

Not sure yet. They would have to be much bigger when in 3D, but in 2D I would probably make them around the size of a Super Mario 63 or Pizza Tower level.

Maybe instead of stars, you could collect medallions or puzzle pieces? (Maybe not puzzle pieces, actually. That’s dangerously close to a copyright lawsuit from rareware)

Maybe we could add sonic elements to the game, like a boost function, a loopdloop?, or even dash panels
