Pecky Egg (2D platformer)

[tperry2x]

Well, I hope this proves useful to someone. It will be a tribute to Chucky Egg, where you have a rotund farmer collecting eggs while avoiding chickens.
Here's the start of it anyway, a character controller.

Cool, I love 2D platformers and old-school arcade style games.

^ Um, I didn't type that - even though it appears on my post!

Hacked!

As it is Lent at the moment: no mushrooms.

Seriously: busy elsewhere type of weekend: mushrooms and snails are on their way.

Haha, more likely someone clicked 'edit' rather than quote or reply

No problem, no rush. We can't rush snails and mushrooms - they will happen when they are ready.
I left your snail topic in place, as I suspect that will be more educational, and mine here as it will merely be a series of example stacks.

You now have an egg to collect, a game over screen, a lives tracker, a level tracker, and day/night mode background colour changing depending on when you play it.

Version 8,
Made it a bit more interesting with girders you can't walk through - meaning like it or not, you have to have a confrontation with the big, slow, orange chicken at some point.
Once you collect the egg, (or all the eggs) the exit will open, which you have to reach to progress to the next level.

In the next version, there will be customised multi-levels (and maybe even a level editor).

version 10:
As promised, now has multiple levels (okay, 3 so far ), and will include a level edit mode in future.

(what happened to version 9?: I changed a lot and added 3 levels) - I was testing in version 9 and had made things a bit messy.
Oh, and in case anyone was wondering - yes, the exit 'door' is a nod towards the 'phone booth' from Bill and Ted.

Or here, if you prefer (with a playthrough demo too), all the images, the 9 levels and all the stack edit history.
