Player Freedom (Dec 16 2024)

I was going to make platform creation be limited because it sounded crazy to have infinite platforms, before realizing that it restricts the player a lot. It makes it feel like a puzzle game, which I'm not sure I want. Now I'm thinking I want the player to have the freedom to create whatever platforms you feel will help you beat the level. It's possible that it still may need some limitation but I'm going to switch towards this path for now.

The question is, what should the UI be for selecting which platform to make, cause I want multiple kinds. I think the only really good option is scrolling up and down; that forces you to play with a mouse (trackpad won't cut it) but probably I'll live with that.
