Enemies and Obstacles

This week I added several new enemies to my game as well as a few new pieces of terrain.

The first of the enemies added is the gunwheel, a robot wheel with a machinegun mounted on the side. It acts like a goomba, except that the machinegun tracks the player and fires off a burst of three shots whenever it gets a clear angle on them.

The next enemy is the Zepp, a miniature zeppelin that flies around and damages the player if it hits them. Two more variations are planned, one that drops bombs, and one with a turret mounted on it like the gunwheel.

Moving on from enemies, there a few new platforms. The first is a simple steel beam that lets the player jump and fall through it. The other is a vanishing platform that pops in and out of existence at regular intervals.

Lastly, a wall jump ability has been added for the player. This allows them to slowly slide down and jump off of any vertical surface, which should be very useful.

That's all for now! Stay tuned!
