Author's Note:

Finally! the platform game I've been trying to pull off for a long time now. Mental Loop is a fast paced platform game where you must clear through stages by reaching the end. Along the way are enemies to kill, power ups to collect, hazards such as spikes to contend with, loops to run round, and moving platforms to navigate.

General Help:

The game is split into 5 areas, each containing 3 stages. In stages 1 and 2 you are required to reach the goal at the end of the level, stage 3 is for boss fights where you must defeat a stronger enemy to clear the level.

Controls:

Left/Right (Arrow Keys): Moves you left or right, whether on the floor or in the air

Up/Down (Arrow Keys): Looks up and down, you need to be on level floor and be stood still to look up or down

While on the ground;

Action (S): You will move forward with a punch, which can kill enemies and open powerups.

Jump (D): Jumps into the air, hold the button in for maximum height, or release quickly for a low jump.

While in the air you can perform a secondary action, but only once in a single jump, also, secondary actions cannot be performed if you are in the air by means other than jumping.

Action (S): Performs a backflip. This will push you a little higher in the air, or break a fall during a long drop, and you can also kill enemies while flipping, however, during the backflip, you will have no control, so know where your going to end up before using it.

Jump (D): Performs a homing attack. If there is nothing nearby you will just be accelerated forward, if there is an enemy or something else targetable nearby, you will aim directly for the target. If the homing attack successfully connects, you will rise back into the air and gain momentum, allowing you to use a secondary jump once more. You can use this to create a chain of attacks if there is a lot of targets in the area, and sometimes be able to travel great distances this way if there is no solid ground to land on.
