Floating

Game Developer: Ziqiao Ma

Introduction

Floating is a physics-based puzzle video game, developed as the second course project of EECS 494: Video Game Development @ Michigan.

Gold Spike Feature: Region-based force field.

The gravity, anti-gravity, electric field and friction are all region-based, that is, only when the game object is situated in a particular region, the force field will be activated. All the interactions and collisions among planets, shooting stars and player are done by the force fields.

Other important settings:

Limited power: Each movement (including stop) takes one block of battery power.
Star collecting: Players are expected to collect as many stars as possible, but are not required to pass a level with full stars
Shooting Stars: Small planets with extremely large anti-gravity.
Diamonds: Provides a temporal shield against shooting stars and satellites. When the shield is on, your movements take no power;
Electric charges: Player regain battery power and gets charged when situated in the electric field.
Electric doors: The door gets cancelled when player carries opposite charge.
Wormholes: Transport the player with all physics unchanged.
Blackholes: A planet with extremely large gravity that absorb everything in its gravity field.

Version 2.0: Chapter 1 and 2 are available, each with 8 levels.

Hints:

Pressing Space costs power as well, but it's worth it;
When situated within the gravity field of Earth, press Space to stop and land;
Sometimes moving in 45 degrees makes life easier;
Players will be bounced back heavily when carrying the same charge as the doors.
