Platform (jumping) idea
Posted: Sat Jul 30, 2016 10:52 pm
Because the controls are a little finicky with regard to jumping up places, and the jumping puzzle above the prison exit frustrated me due to that... I have the following as an idea:
Ability: Mouse leap. Since mice are naturally pretty good about these things, this would be a starting skill. What it would do is look for the nearest catch/climb spot in front of you, and automatically leap if it is in range (along with giving you some forward motion if needed.) This would automatically start you climbing up onto any climbable structure.
I found myself running into issues with pushing things as well, and this would help there too, as a way of avoiding pushing objects like stools with the current setup where you must be very close and walking toward them to climb.
This ability could also potentially be toggled off as an option, thus giving people who really want a more difficult experience with jumping and platforming to have it... without overly frustrating everyone else!
