About

Magni: Trial Runs is an magnetic based platformer where you play as Magni. Who are you though? We don't know... all we know is he's needed back at the surface, and quick! Climb upwards using the forces of magnets, as soon as possible!!!

How to play

  • move with arrow keys or wad
  • change magnet type with [space]
  • go through sign dialog with [e]

Inspiration

Theme: Attraction! - Magnets attract, and repel each other, so why not make a game mechanic around it!

  • The difficulty and climb upwards was inspired by Getting Over It, which I tried recently(I could not get over it :( ). I made sure to add in places where when you fall, you've got to start all over(or most of the hard parts) >:)
  • This is my first non-block coding game, so it's best to stick with a basic platformer :D and also with trying to build my own mechanic(magnetssssss)
  • Vertical platformer inspo: Doodle Jump! Putting it together: Fun vertical platformer where the way up is by using right magnet, and a lot of patience. It's fun, and a bit challenging(or a lot). Don't worry! It's not impossible! Once you get it, you get it type of game ;)

How we built it

  • Using Godot!!
  • a lot of youtube tutorials ~

Challenges

  • not knowing everything about godot, and sort of going in blind? Luckily figured stuff out! (I didn't know about tile maps and almost was ready to manually cut up the sheet, individually make nodes, and drag and drop to make the whole map 0-0 )

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • First game ;D (first fully complete non block coding game, but is the first time I used godot)
  • Made the magnet mechanic and works wonderfully :0
  • I'm proud of the game as a whole, it came so far :D

What's next for Magni: Trial Runs

  • I guess a sequal? (probably not lol) this would be like the first chapter of the story
  • Add more features to round it out as a game - such as settings, and in game settings
  • Make the background better
