powerups would be amazing, items placed around the level that do different things :D

Today i thought about "turbo" arrows on the ground that push you twice as fast while running, and loops and slopes like in Sonic, or Wipeout!

Yup, I have some ideas.

I'll get to items eventually. :)

Great! My suggestion: don't spare on references to classics. I can see this game to become legendary, and a VR top seller if u are fast enough bringing in this kind of magic! :D

how about grapple hooks?

Yes i agree, just in some stages thou!

Or even better in some parts of those stages, as a real powerup.

Ice can sort of due that already

Some enemies that agro when the player gets close would be really neat. The first thing that comes to mind are Goombas from Super Mario. They will push you around and make you fall, but you can jump and squish them... or you could even use a hammer that I suspect is comming to the game :). Obviosly the enemy can't be identical to a Goomba for copyright reasons, but something similar. Technically this type of enemy shouldn't be do hard to make. When you get too close it basically just moves to the direction of the player. I'm not sure, but I'm guessing it's not too complex to create a navmesh around the enemy spawnpoint. So the enemy doesn't just fall and stays on the map. An alternative version of this enemy could be more suicidal and wouldn't care about falling. It could be really nasty when the enemy just falls from the sky on top of the player. There are allready tramploines in the game so jumping on the enemy could just have the same effect. With my limited tehnical knowledge I would guess that atleast the suicidal version of this enemy would be fairly easy to implement in game.

Now that the game has started to sell a bit more you should update the gameplan thread and list some of the things you plan on adding in the future. I see many people asking for the same things and some of them are things you probably are all ready planing on (like items). This would also help us give better feedback since we can suggest things that work with the stuff you are going to add in the game. For example if we know you want to add items we can suggets what type of items would be cool or other mechanics that would work with items.

Please, no weapons or "powerups".

Keep the main idea minimalistic and clean, that's exactly what's appealing about this. It's not filled with bloat.

However, expanding on this original idea is a go!

I think it just fine, because the game is driven so much by user content. If it turns out a lot of people don't like a certain item then we won't see it in most levels. At this point it's hard to say what is the right direction for the game since it feels like so many things would work. I think one good way for the dev to go forward would be to just add more options and let the users figure out what works and what doesn't. I think having the level editor from the very first version was a really smart move. Even in this early stage with very limited blocks I've seen people used those blocks in really creative ways.

I was about to suggest a simple gun that can be used to send players back to the last dropped flag but saw this thread and so glad that shadowbrain has some ideas aimed towards this! :)

Could even work in teams of 3 too and having to race to the end/help each other up but also avoid enemy fire.

The other thing was traps like you get in the comic book "Spy vs Spy" :) that can be laid down as you go but that's probably not as fun as the simple "rec room" style pop gun!

To be honest ropes would be good for throwing to a friend.

These things lead to some puzzle mode as well :D

Also real life items would be a damn cool thing. Of course they should be given a purpouse. I can imagine items/weapons based on tennis and golf bats, or paper planes for example.
