Pixel AI Dash - Version 0.1.0 Devlog

Introduction

Greetings, Pixel Dashers! We're excited to share the latest developments in Pixel AI Dash as we reach version 0.1.0. Strap in for an adventure through daily procedurally generated levels, where each day brings a new challenge inspired by the Wordle daily word format.

Features in Version 0.1.0

Daily Levels

Experience a fresh challenge every day as Pixel AI Dash generates a unique level based on the Unix timestamp. Your task? Navigate the procedurally generated terrain from the starting point to the end goal.

Procedural Terrain

Our focus is on 100x100 terrains, with plans to expand into random generation based on a seed for even more variety and excitement.

Custom Physics

Enjoy a seamless gaming experience with custom physics designed for smooth platforming. Wall jumping has never been this satisfying!

Goal Guidance

A dynamic camera pans from the goal to your starting point, providing a general direction to navigate. Pro tip: Skip this cinematic experience by pressing the "s" key.

NoClip Mode

For the curious explorers, enter NoClip mode with the "SPACE" key to freely explore the terrain. But beware, this mode is for viewing purposes only and should not be used to complete the level.

How to Play

1. Navigate daily procedurally generated levels.
2. Master the art of wall jumping and strategic extra jumps.
3. Skip goal guidance with the "s" key.
4. Explore freely with NoClip mode using the "SPACE" key.
