Traps & Hazards

Quest 6 of 8 on the Your First Game path → a finished game

Danger is what makes a platformer worth playing. You learn one shared trap contract (every trap is an Area2D that kills, launches, or makes the ground slippery) and then build all thirteen hazards as drag-anywhere scenes: spikes, a patrolling saw, timed fire, an arrow, a slamming spike head, a swinging spiked ball, a rock-head crusher, a moving platform, a trampoline, a fan updraft, a falling platform, a breakable block, and ice.

Is 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 thirteen times
  • 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)
