Crude Descent

A platforming parkour game with a grappling hook. 

Made as an expansion of my B1 project for an assignment at college. 

Version (not quite) 1.0.0 Updates:

New Stuff:

• The player can now slide by pressing control. 
• Jumping during a slide will launch the player further forwards and slightly higher than usual. 
• The player can now slam by pressing control in midair. 
• The control layout in the pause menu has been updated to reflect this.
• A local leaderboard has been added. The player's three best scores for each level will be saved. 
• Added Pistons, moving platforms that can be grappled to and run on. 
• Added two new levels which showcase these new mechanics. 
• The UI and Overall Appearance of the game has been overhauled. 
• There is now a level select screen. 
• There are now several new buttons in the pause menu, allowing the player to respawn. 
• The game now officially has a name! Thanks for playing Crude Descent!

Bugfixing:

• The Grappling hook now no longer attaches to ungrapplable objects. 
• The timer now stops counting up while the game is paused. 

Known Issues:

We plan to fix these issues in a future version of the game. Please get in touch if you find anything else!

• The slide's rate of acceleration is dependant on the player's framerate. 
  • Using this, the player can slide jump far enough to despawn the character, with no way to restart. Oops. 
• The moving part of the pistons cannot be grappled to. 
• Running walls are really awkward, especially when you come off one immediately into another. 
• Slopes are also really awkward. Sorry.
• The timer begins counting up as soon as the level is loaded.
• It's really badly optimised. We're working on it, please bear with us.
