MagJump

By Jam Jes (Games Design and Programming Student)

"Traverse this puzzle-platformer using magnetic attraction/repulsion"

Magjump does not follow the traditional Platformer Movement Mechanics. You must use magnets to propel you off platforms to simulate jumps. Aim to traverse the environment using magnetic forces to repulse off and attract to variously charged iron platforms.

My Interpretation:

Using magnets as inspiration, I decided to design the entire project around duality. 2 specific events must be performed to simulate an action. For example:

• You must aim in a specific direction and use the magnet key to move.
• North and South poles must both be used to traverse the enviornment
• Using magnets, you can Push away from or Pull towards platforms
• Success is measured using Total Play Time and Death Count
• and more..
