WIP Physics Platformer

This is an early build of a physics-based platformer. So far, the player can control the blue box with the wasd keys. I'm having problems, however, when it comes to Construct detecting an overlap between the blue player-box and the orange boxes. When the player lands on them, they are unable to move. Any help would be appreciated.

NOTE: partly out of laziness and partly as an experiment, the player (the blue box) can only move when touching the ground (that means no moving mid-air). Let me know what you think.

Controls:

A-left

D-right

W-jump

Never mind, I just found out what the problem was (the collision box for the orange box was per-pixel instead of boundary box). Feel free to comment anyway!

well... also can't move while on an orange cube.

you might want to take care of that

You're using plain "overlapping" events. I'm surprised it works at all. Those physics objects shouldn't be overlapping in the first place.

You should use Overlapping at Offset, you'll likely get more consistent results.

Okey doke. Thanks!

I edited it a little.

I liked how you move the box by flipping it end over end but the yellow boxes are pretty buggy.

Still, there could be some potential in it. Maybe not with moving enemies but it could be a fun little platform/puzzle game with some work.
