Overview

Faf is a first-person momentum-based platformer. As the player moves through the level, they build up momentum and the difficulty will change accordingly. The player has to build up enough speed to reach the end of the level.

Goal

The player’s goal is to perform platforming challenges while maintaining enough momentum to reach the end of the level.

Gameplay

The momentum will increase as the player goes over certain “speed zones”. Initially, the momentum was supposed to increase as a result of the movement system (low acceleration, high max speed), however, that proved to make the movement feel slippery. 

Obstacles: basic jumps, long jumps, angled jumps, all the previous +fast speed

• Initially, I planned on having more obstacles and traps. However, through playtests, I realized that people struggled to complete basic jumps with faster momentum. So I had to lower the difficulty accordingly.

Mechanics: basic movement, jump, build-up momentum, checkpoints
