Suvivor's Bias (Portal)

You have conquered the non-euclidean physics of the my previous games, now it is time to cross the final frontier–TIME MANIPULATION. Take part in this 11 level demo inspired by the puzzles of portal reloaded. This time around, completion of previous games is not required, as existing mechanics are re-taught. Have fun!

Controls are explained in game. MOUSE REQUIRED

Why Demo?

It saddens me that the final installment of this series will go unfinished. I think the January Makecode update broke the physics related to time portals on the floor, making the rest of the levels very glitchy. And I can’t seem to fix it easily, but I don’t want to work on this anymore. So… demo.

I got to the part where you can shoot portals, but I can only left-click because I’m on mobile. therefore I can’t place blue portals :󠇪(

I’m sad to the the series end. These games are always really fun to play. Just wondering, can you show me the code you used to make the jumping, like how long you hold for is how high you jump?

That’s what is mechanically interesting about this game?!
Sure here is some code:


Keep in mind that you would need to alter this if your character has other movement physics operating on them. Eg. portals.

Hey @Bifrosty! Could you help me in making a portal engine for one of my own games? I really liked the Portal Count 2 Three portal engine, and this seems the same!

I’m glad you like my game. The portal engine used in count to 3 is a slightly modified version of the one made by Richard, in this post. I made my own for this game, but it still draws many of the core aspects. I’d recommend looking at Richard’s project, because that’s were I started. If you want help fine tuning the engine or making other test elements, I can help!

I also highly recommend using the platformer extension, as it is super customizable and great (It has a setting for the variable jump height)

Good Luck!

There is such a quality upgrade from the last 3 games, and that’s saying something, I just beat this and it is absolutely a masterpiece of Makecode. It is sad to know that it will likely never be finished, but it’s more important that you enjoy making the games than us enjoying playing them. I can’t wait to see your next projects, they are some of what makes Makecode so amazing.

PS

If you don’t mind, could you post the lore for what was going to happen, and leaving it on such a cliffhanger is a crime.

Thanks for all the kind comments! You know what? I am going to keep working on this.

maybe you could make a button in the menu (somehow) that enables/disables making left clicking alternate between whatever, like if you spammed left click it would shoot orange blue orange blue etc. Actually, just did a bit of looking at the code, it uses mouse middle, maybe just figure something out for mobile? And yes left clicking is the only one that works

also, there is browserEvents.mouseX() and browserEvents.mouseY() if you didn’t know, it is better to use them on mobile and in general.

btw in not saying this game is bad or anything, it’s really good, it just needs a bit more mobile support.

What you found is the code for firing green time portal bullets which is unused in the demo.


It uses mouse forward which is a special button on some mice (Like Mine). In the full release this will probably just be changed to mouse middle and and the F key. Right and left click are still used for the regular orange and blue portal bullets.

As for mobile support, I never intended it to be playable there, That is why I have “MOUSE REQUIRED” in the description. In the full version I’m adding yet another button for the aforementioned time portal bullets, which would make it even more difficult implement adept mobile controls. I’ll probably add a disclaimer at the beginning of the game advising a keyboard and mouse. My previous three portal games do support mobile though, so those are still available for mobile players.
