Well, since Mouzi revealed the secret, I'll post a level that further demonstrates the mechanics going on:

Bug: 'Switch4b' same color as 'switch1b'

I know it's a minor issue, but the circle-styled switch that corresponds to the purple block, switch4 , which should be labeled switch4b , always comes out identical to the green circle-styled switch, switch1b . For aesthetic's sake, it would be great if we could use all 4 colors. Thanks MD! -Sethum

I give up. How do you make the objects sprites? Please PM me if you don't want to post it out. Depending on the mechanic, this could be very useful to me in my art levels. Thanks!

Thanks for reviewing my level here. I think the cloned trees' similarity helps define the distant background zone, and they're a bit of a throwback to old 8-bit driving games.

Thank you for this excellent tutorial! Only now, I'm stuck at the next step in reworking constant rotation into sinusoidal motion: sinusoidal rotation. Basically, I'd like to simulate the motion that a fixed camera would go through if it was focussed on the linear motion block you've made above. The...

I think it's a shame that you cannot base certain weapons' existence/firing ability on what happens earlier in the game. For example, only after you destroy X part or wall or gun embankment, then will the crazy laser barrage blasts at you. That would make the "level-style" bosses feel less...

trickstapriest , I'm glad you enjoyed Death Spiral (click) ! I really like that level too. I have to say that once a boss design encircles your ship, a lot of possibilities open up. I hadn't intended/considered the perspective-skewing aspect you mentioned, but that is an interesting area to explore...
