A physics-based platformer game that challenges players to master momentum, timing, and environmental interactions. Built using the Advanced P5.js Platformer Engine.
Momentum is all about understanding and controlling physics as you navigate through challenging levels. Use your momentum to break through glass barriers, swing on ropes, bounce off trampolines, and balance on seesaws. Each level introduces new mechanics that build upon your skills.
The game emphasizes the importance of maintaining and controlling momentum - consecutive jumps reduce your speed, downhill slopes increase it, and precise timing is required to overcome obstacles.
- Physics-Based Gameplay: Master realistic momentum and inertia
- Diverse Mechanics: Wall jumping, rope swinging, trampolines, and more
- Challenging Level Design: Test your skills with increasingly complex challenges
- Dynamic Obstacles: Interact with seesaws, breakable glass, and moving platforms
- Responsive Controls: Precise movement with momentum-based consequences
- Arrow Keys/WASD: Move the player
- Up Arrow/W/Space: Jump
- E: Grab/release ropes
- Escape: Restart the current level
Momentum was built using JavaScript with the P5.js library for rendering and Matter.js for physics simulation. The game is based on the Advanced P5.js Platformer Engine but has been extensively customized with:
- Enhanced momentum physics
- Improved rope swinging mechanics
- Realistic slope movement
- Breakable glass with particle effects
- Dynamic seesaw platforms
- Consecutive jump penalties
- And much more!
