This fully free-to-play game (WIP) was built with TypeScript, using Phaser.js and Matter.js as the physics engine. It's available to play right in your browser of choice at https://platformer-tau.vercel.app.
Special thanks to my wife and my friends for being supportive as I work on this fun little project!
You're an office worker entering the rat race, and you've got some obstacles to dodge! With spikes and toxic waste in your path, you need to file those reports to get promoted. But that's not all you have to look out for; your coworkers had dreams that died and haunt the place. Make sure your spirits stay high! All that work can get real tiring - replenish your stamina and get a little boost with coffee (don't drink too much!).
If you're just looking to try out the game, you can head over to this site and start playing right away!
To get started, git clone the project by typing the following in your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/paul-s-yi/platformer.git
Don't forget to run npm install or npm i before running npm start to start playing (and developing!)
Use ←↑→↓ to move, and space to jump. Hit space against a wall to do a double jump.
- Add weapons and additional combat mechanics
- Add levels, final boss, endless mode (will require programmatic generation of map)
- Add save files
- Add audio for character movement and collision (running, jumping, hitting enemy)
- Add main menu, info in pause screen, add speech bubbles to character and enemies
- Add intro scene to establish character background
- Track high scores, add leaderboard
- Add player map creation tools and ability to seed player-made maps (this is a real stretch tbh but we'll see where it takes us)
- Big maybe: add versus modes
