Traps & Hazards
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.

Quest Lessons
4 lessons · 1 freeIs This Quest For You?
Perfect for you if:
- You finished the player and want to fill your levels with danger
- You want reusable trap scenes you can drag anywhere
- You like understanding one pattern, then reusing it
- You want hazards that interact with the player cleanly
Not for you if:
- You haven't built the player yet (start with Move & Jump)
- You want a finished game with no building
- You're looking for 3D or top-down hazards
- You want enemy AI rather than traps (that's its own quest)

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 parallax, 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.
