Danger is what makes a platformer worth playing. You learn one shared trap contract (every trap is an Area2D on the player's collision mask that kills, launches, or carries) and then build the game's four hazards as drag-anywhere scenes: a static spike, a patrolling bat, a carrying moving platform, and a bump-from-below ? block that drops a gem.

Capstone: Build the Whole Game
Quest 7 of 8 in 2D Platformer.
Take everything you built (the player, juice, the game loop, and the traps) and assemble it into one complete, polished platformer. You wire death and checkpoints, a data-driven goal and level progression, build four tilemap levels with a shared tileset and a drifting cloud sky, add a music autoload that fades and ducks, screen transitions, and a real shell: main menu, options, and pause. You finish with the exact game in the project files.
