Behind the Level(s)
My first take on 2D Platformer level design in a 48 hour game jam, the focus was to make the platforming gameplay feel refreshing and good. More importantly, they were designed around our one unique mechanic of sending a projectile outward from the player body towards enemies in tight spots. The levels were also made to incentivize exploration with collectibles.
