A Doodle Jump parody with a twist. For the twist the player will be able to change between four colors (Green, Orange, Purple and yellow. The colors may change). The player can only hop on platforms that are the same colors as themself.

Ship #1

Hello I have made a doodle jump parody with a twist called "Melanotaenia 4.0". The twist for the game is that the player can change into four colors and can only touch a platform if they themself is the same color as the platform.

The idea of this game was first made for the Hack Club juice Jam March 2025, but I gave up on the project. To me this is an incredible milestone because I started over with only the idea and actually completed it.

How to Play:
Goal is to go as high as possible to get the highest score

Controls:
Left arrow ( < ) = Move Left

Right arrow (>) = Move Right

Up arrow (^) = Jump

Q = Orange

E = Green

R = Purple

W = Yellow

Sidenote: There is also a demo video at the bottom of my readme on github.

I have finished the Game. From the last devlog I added a background and created a stylized game title. I also finalized the itch.io Page and the Github Read me

Also Excuse my previous screen recordings for the previous devlogs. The screenshot format changed so now the vidoes are zoomed in.

Was busy today so not that much progress was made.

Today I decided to add purple and yellow, while also making a parallax scrolling background.

I am gonna take a short break on this game, so I can look at it with fresh eyes when I return.

My goal when I return is to work on the title screen (title, buttons) and making the game look nicer.
I might also work on sound design

With the break from this game I am gonna try to enter my first game Jam.

I added my own custom sprite for the player and platform (excuse the art I am not a great artist).
I have decided to make my theme related to space. So the player will be a star that changes color.

I still need to fix the look a lot, but I wanted to get it into demo version. I will be sharing this with friends and have them test it out on itch.io.

So far for the game I have added a title screen (start and quit) and high score system. I believe I am done for now with all of the basic mechanics. My goal now is to work on the look of the game (Character, platforms, title screen, etc)

I was switching between making this game a platformer or a doodle jump clone. I have decided to do a doodle Jump clone. Here I have an infinite loop for the platform generation.

I have made it to where the player bounces on a platform when in contact.
Also if the player is not the correct color the scene/level resets
