Reversed Platformer

Entry for the GMTK 2023 Game Jam.

The theme was "Roles reversed".

As the name suggests this is a platformer game where an AI takes control of the character. The objective of the player then, is to modify the level in realtime to allow the AI to advance.

Controls:

• Click and drag "yellow" bricks to move them around.
• As soon as you leave it in a valid position, the character will update its path

(It was intended that the bricks start blocking the path and the player has to move them to allow the character to continue, but a lack of time for design made it impossible)

It is a really short prototype of what a game like this could be. I focused on creating a good AI to play a platformer game and then the main mechanic of moving tiles of the level. As a solo developer, I did not have time to design different levels or even a long one. I also did not have time to create UI, SFX, Sprites, Game loop or polish game feel.

I did not have many time to invest during this 48h.

But enough of excuses. Punctuate it however you think it deserves (try to value its potential) and any feedback is much appreciated.
