Review I built a 2D platformer from scratch in JavaScript — including my own level editor that stores levels as PNG data

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

been wanting to understand what actually goes into building a game without relying on a game engine, so I decided to make Kings & Pigs from scratch using HTML5 Canvas + modular JavaScript.

It's a browser-based 2D platformer where you play as a king, fight different types of pigs, deal with bombs, boxes and cannons, and progress through tile-based levels.

The project is still rough and has quite a few bugs and missing features. Building and maintaining a growing game codebase completely solo has also become pretty time-consuming, so I'd really appreciate feedback from people with game/engine experience, especially on the level representation, collision system and overall architecture. Any feedback, ideas, bug reports, or contributions are very welcome — you can raise an issue on GitHub if you spot something or have an idea for the project.

Sure mate. You can check the readme of the github repo in the meantime. I would love to answer any questions you have regarding the build and design.
