Hullo Uniters,

Posted this project about 2 months ago, and have made a fair amount of progress on it (yes, I am a very slow worker).

The overview for those who weren’t around last time:

Golems is my little project I’ve been working on for awhile–my first game in Unity. It is a 3D platformer, with the objective being to get to the end and claim the blue glowy orb (which is definitely a placeholder). Aiding you along the way are the Golem Powers. You get to choose 4 powers (out of 10 options) at the start of the level. Each power uses Golem Energy, and you start with 10 Energy.

Really, it’s fairly basic. Killing enemies and claiming the golem parts replenishes energy, and hitting a checkpoint replenishes energy and gives you one extra life (to a maximum of 6).

Hidden along the way are 3 Golem Coins–can you find them all?

At the top is displayed a nice little timer, to encourage speed running. My best time is 1:44, but that was with a couple mistakes. Surely you guys can beat it.

Mouse1 to Jump
Mouse2 for most abilities (check description)

Looking for comments and critiques on level design, character movement, what you think of the art (as it is so far!)…pretty much anything. Hope you guys like it!

I like it! :o

The character’s movement is very smooth (and thus enjoyable), something I’ve been trying to achieve for ages but with little luck. A few tips would be useful, if possible. :slight_smile:

The art in general leaves you with a warm feeling. The only thing I would suggest is a bit more friction on the moving ledges. It’s easy to slide off them.

What I saw looked good, however I didn’t get very far to be honest, I kept dying :wink:

I didn’t realize I could jump on enemies to kill them, so I was trying to get on the second platform dodging the gun fire behind me and then running off the other side of the platform.

As said above, I think the platforms need a little more friction, what you have right now would be good for ice platforms but not for regular platforms.

I will try to play more later and hopefully get a little further :wink:

really fun just like the old one, kinda easy tho with all the powerups and such
