The Koins of Kain -- Simple Learning Project

Hello! :slight_smile:

For the past couple of months three friends and I have been working on a small game. Our intention from the beginning was to make something small and simple in order to learn more about Blender and boost our confidence in making games. The goal was to make a platformer with 10 levels. What we ended up with was 9 levels and a title screen xD

Our game may not seem finished by some standards; but for us, we’ve learned enough from this project and are proud of what we’ve done. Without further ado, Koins of Kain!

It is a .blend file, and instructions are in the game’s menu. Made with Blender 2.49.

Thanks!

Looks interesting! Good job.

@Smoking_mirror, thanks! It was a lot of fun doing this, I’m almost sad it’s over.

Okay well not really. It’s hard to be sad when hard work is over. :slight_smile:

ya! we did it we did it woot woot lol :slight_smile: :smiley:

wow you finished it so quick… sorry that I didn’t get the ailien finished :frowning:

Hey loughlin, it’s ok. I’m not sure where we would have put the alien anyway so don’t feel bad at all :smiley:

So, is it playable? I know some coins are hard to get, but there are ways. For instance, hitting the jump key rapidly (like double-click speed) will make you go higher in a glitchy-type way that we actually used :stuck_out_tongue:

Feedback would be nice.

Hey! Game is cute, a fun throwback to Super Mario. I liked the flip animation on the double-jump. I couldn’t get past the first level though. If there was an entrance/exit somewhere I missed it, and if it was supposed to be by collecting all 30 of the coins, I got 29… there was one that I couldn’t quite reach even with a double-jump from the highest platform. (But maybe it’s just me, cause I couldn’t figure out how to get out of the Instructions menu either…) Also the gameplay is a bit repetitive since you have to go up the same path numerous times to get all those coins. But all the same, it’s fun. Congratulations.

Hey hreichgott! Thanks for the c&c.

The way to reach any coin that is a little too high is to tap the W key twice in rapid succession. Also that’s a reason I posted teh .blend, so that you can try whatever level you want.

cheers!
