  "Rotors/spinners" would go great for fun on Obscurity! :)

  Enemy Spawner: A hole where enemies come out. You must press a button or pass a trigger to open / close it.

  More ideas:
Apple: Falls off from a tree if stepped on. The apple then can be pushed into a button.
Toxic barrel: If pushed off from a large distance, it will spill toxic waste.
Dangling wire: Will eleroute water if water touches it.
Flippers power up: Alows you to cross water faster. Helpful if there's a timed door in water.
Iron ball: Will roll down and kill any enemies. Sometimes it will also be chained to some enemies.

  Shrink could be cool in this game...

  Plug and socket will be the same like triggers (many times).
Spoony 11 years ago
  Ideas:
Note powerup: Turns you into a note that can cross long thin black platforms that you fall though.
Plug and socket: Plug it into the socket to open the door. by plugging it in i mean PUSHING it in
Chameleon enemies: Jumps and dissapears and reappears.

  True, but they're not deadly. ;)

The game does have cannons (which need a little more polishing) but I'm planning to add some other turrets and laser guns.

Probably won't add a shield/barrier, because most of the enemies don't aggressively target you, they will only damage you if you walk into them while they're randomly wandering (with the exception of the flying enemies)

  2. Obscurity has already got droplets.
alanliu12121 11 years ago
  1. Enemies that can shoot lasers, projectiles, etc.
2. Falling rocks / ice / etc.
3. Barrier Powerup: Blocks 1 hit.

  And what about the double jump powerup suggested by kiethy?
geckojsc 11 years ago
  Just no. xD
ThisIsMyUsername 11 years ago
  Portal Gun?

I think that will be cool, but hard to make...
geckojsc 11 years ago
  Already have the dash powerup. I'm not adding guns because they don't suit the game.
ThisIsMyUsername 11 years ago
  How about weapon?
Treazer 11 years ago
  I think spring and bumper are the same.

  How about spring?

  Cool, that's great! :D I understand that anti-gravity may cause many bugs and problems.
geckojsc 11 years ago
  I was planning to add bumpers, I already have the sound effects for them. :D

I won't add golden eggs exactly, but we do have a big egg sprite which I'm going to add, which will do the same thing.

Anti-gravity is iffy because it introduces a lot of edge cases and potential bugs. I doubt I'll add that.

Wall jumping/walking: probably not. Just because there's already lots of ways to travel vertically, and I don't think they fit podly's design.
Treazer 11 years ago
  What about a wall jump powerup?

No, there isn't SuperMario. I suggested this once too (as powerup), but I don't remember what gecko replied xD Btw, do you mean anti-gravity (walk on the ceiling etc) or floating in the air?

edit: I see gundu posted something similar.
alanliu12121 11 years ago
  Golden Eggs: worth more points
Bumper: touch this and you will be pushed or bounced.
gundu 11 years ago
  Oh! I wasn't aware of those power-ups/platforms :p

[edit] Then maybe suctions boots to walk on walls?
geckojsc 11 years ago
  There's a couple of similar things: the dash powerup, while mainly used for attacking, can also be used in mid-air to clear a large gap.

The speed platforms allow you to run super fast, so they could also be used in that way.
gundu 11 years ago
  What about a collectible shoe that allows you to sprint (Double-tap the arrow key) thus helping you to jump further
alanliu12121 11 years ago
  Oh, i didn't know those would do, thanks :D
Treazer 11 years ago
  You can already make some sort of invisible powerups with regions (solid/podly solid regions). And also, solid regions are meant to be used for blocking enemies/podly from going outside an area.
alanliu12121 11 years ago
  Invisible Platforms
geckojsc 11 years ago
  There's already the ghost powerup which is quite similar to this. It allows you to switch between multiple copies of Podly using the C key.
totallyepicdude321 11 years ago
  maybe a friend,the whole game podly is alone maybe even forever alone.it would use wasd controls.

or they would both use arrow keys and it could be a puzzle trying to get them to the end
Treazer 11 years ago
  That's an interesting idea! But gecko will maybe implement something similar with wooden/metal crates.
alanliu12121 11 years ago
  Floating platforms that go up and down depending on water / lava level
