Crushers

[Alley]

Here is an example and you can consider yourself how I am doing so far. You can see my trailer about the whole game in my home site from here where you also can see about how the crushers look.

[CGM]

Cool! So you'll change the sprites right?

[Alley]

Of course. And in the video, there was some enemies also that instantly killed. Those will be replaced with a poison liquid.

[CGM]

Ah yes... I remember us discussing this on steam.

[Alley]

Yes. But now I have fixed, changed and improved a lot of things and I have moved my practics over to the main project already.

[CGM]

Good! What about the electric field?

[Alley]

Electric fields are working differently now. Instead of all activating at the same time now some of those will be activated when another ones will be deactivated to make it more difficult passing several of those with no damage. Also, those are playing an electric sound when activated and their blocks above and bottom will be recoloured.

[CGM]

Hmm... Are the fields round?

[Alley]

Those will look as two cannon-like things or spots up and down on the way between what electricity will be shown when activated. For now, I have no sprites done yet so I used built-in things from PB temporarily.

This is a timing obstacle where a player must pass electric field once it is turned off.

Good work with the crushers! Very interesting!

[Alley]

Thank you both!

Christian Game Maker asked about an electric field. Although it wasn't any kind of official update you can easily to see the electric field by yourself by entering this level via Land of Dreams. You can choose a door to a checkpoint instead of completing half of the level to see the electricity system.   If you can't see a button for update then just uninstall and install the game again!

Now... Overall, so far I have accomplished system for bridge control, dropping water and poison, water control, poison liquid, conditioner engine, electric fields and crushers.

the crushers are like the skewers from mario right?

[Alley]

Actually, crushers with poisoned liquid in the same room are inspired from Doom and electricity fields and birds in technology level from Battle Toads although electricity fields behave more like from Commander Keen 6 - Aliens Ate my Baby Sitter. All kind of water triggering, technology, switches and certain pits to another course comes from O. D. T - Escape or Die Trying.

Horror and Technology is probably my favourite part of the games although I will not include a lot of horror for this game.

When I was a child, I used to play this game!

[Alley]

Nostalgia. I suggest you to search for it again, however. It has now some more new episodes by the modders and those are so good and well planned so those can be considered as an official sequel. Commander Keen will fight Mortimer Mcmire who is another child and considered even smarter than Keen.
