    Basically, it is at the stage where we need to start making the levels.

    I need more ideas for obstacles we can put in, please go ahead and post up some ideas as all we have at the moment is blocks, spikes, ramps and spikes.

    i am going to add in lasers. but i also think we should have some other things too.

    sorry dev has slowed this week, me and orange have made some progress on the infinite run however i will need to make a level editor for it.

    How about patches of different types of terrain, such as sand, ice, mug etc, that effect the speed the vehicle. The skill comes from putting obstacles after these patches, such as blocks and jumps, and the gamer will have to compensate for the alternative terrain when they plan their jump.

    Also, walls with holes in that the gamer has to time/judge the power of the jump just right to get through. The holes can be at varying heights depending on how hard you want to make them to jump through!

    Crushing things that the gamer will have to time the stroke forward. (speed up,) to get through.

    that's a pretty good idea!

    we can have different ground types, it can be done by changing the friction on the floor based on block type.

    btw, how long do you reckon each level should be?

    i also forgot to ask, do you need an exe to test the game?

    Try creating levels that are 30 secs, one min, 1.5 mins, 2 mins etc, and see which one feels the right length.

    I've had another idea for terrain type. Random Speed! Have patches that accelerate of decelerate the bike by random amounts! Or by predetermined amounts. Either way it'll add another element of skill to the game!

    Another idea for gameplay.

    Random Power-ups! A Power-Up box or sprite (or however you choose to represent power-ups in the game,) that randomly applies one of the power-ups to the character. Perhaps even create new ones for this concept, such as negative power-ups like constant boost, continual jumping, mix up the controls, (so a down swipe would be speed up, a forward swipe would be jump etc,) and so on.
