A vibrant, action-packed 2D platformer built with Python and Arcade

Epic Platformer is an exciting platformer adventure featuring colorful characters, challenging levels, and classic arcade-style gameplay. Jump across floating platforms, collect coins and gems, avoid hazards, and reach the door to progress through increasingly difficult levels!

• 5 Playable Characters – Choose from Beige, Green, Pink, Purple, or Yellow characters
• Dynamic Level Design – Multiple floating platforms, hazards, and interactive elements
• Collectibles System – Gather coins (+10 points), gems (+25 points), and hearts for extra lives
• High Quality Assets - Derived from kenney.nl, the assets are of very high quality.
• Smooth Animations – Idle, walk, and jump animations with sprite flipping
• Enemy AI – Patrolling frogs that move back and forth
• Sound Effects – Jump, coin collection, gem collection, hurt, and magic level-up sounds
• Camera System – Smooth camera following for immersive gameplay
• Progressive Levels – Advance through levels by reaching the exit door

• W – Move Right
• E – Move Left
• S – Jump

Collect coins and gems, avoid spikes and enemies, and reach the door to advance to the next level. You start with 5 lives—don't lose them all!

• 🪙 Coin = +10 points
• 💎 Gem = +25 points
• ❤️ Heart = +1 life (max health)

🚧 UNDER DEVELOPMENT 🚧

This game is currently in an early development stage and has not been extensively played tested yet. While the core mechanics are in place, there may be occasional glitches and balance issues.

One such example is the game being unplayable due to the character weirdly glitching and falling when the game starts. Also, another one is that the camera position is beyond the background.

So, technically, though you cannot play this game right now, but you can give feedback.

• ⚠️ Occasional physics edge cases
• ⚠️ Platform collision refinements needed
• ⚠️ Camera positioning improvements in progress
• ⚠️ Asset loading dependencies

I am actively working on squashing bugs and improving the experience! The next update will include:

• ✅ Enhanced collision detection
• ✅ Improved camera behavior
• ✅ Better platform stability
• ✅ Additional levels and content
• ✅ Quality of life improvements

• Python 3.10 or higher.

Found a bug? Have suggestions? I would love to hear from you! This project is actively being developed and refined.

This project uses Arcade library assets and custom game design.

Five unique character sprites with direction-aware animations:

• Walking (2-frame animation)
• Idle (static pose)
• Jumping (mid-air sprite)

• Ground Platforms – Continuous base platform across the level
• Floating Platforms – Strategic platforms for skilled navigation
• Hazards – Moving spikes to avoid
• Collectibles – Animated coins, gems, and heart pickups

Intelligent frog enemies patrol specific ranges, providing engaging obstacles for players to avoid or jump over.

Built with ❤️ using the Python arcade library – A fantastic framework for 2D game development!

Status: 🔧 In Development | Next Update: Coming Soon

Enjoy the game, and stay tuned for improvements! 🚀
