Eric King's Advanced Games

 

Environment

The image below displays a short example of how a level may be structured. The green stick figure is Gabriel's spawn and the yellow light is the goal. There are certain locations where power-ups can be obtained; these are represented by the orange stars. The gray regions show the permanent clouds in the level, while purple regions mark where new clouds can be created.

For an actual level, the path is laid out in all three dimensions, which may not be apparent in the sketch. In other words, Gabriel will not only have to move left and right, but also forward and back.
