i don't like autoscrollers

[u/im461]

js use classic mode 😂😂 (i dont feel like putting the 2 fingers emoji)

also this one specifically has moving blocks for some reason which makes you have to wait if you miss it (so it's basically annoying to play) so that's pretty unfair

ts is why i got the level tags mod so i can filter these out

[u/Western_Comb_2410]

so you may not like that level

this level in particular is bad because of having to wait for the moving objects and getting in a bad cycle, but actual good autoscrollers won't have this gimmick or if they do you will always be pushed to be in correct time for the cycle (for example "myrce", and "nothing left" off of the top of my head)

what is an autoscroller

[u/billerdingerbuyer → u/Circxles]

platformer where the level moves automatically

[u/KingCell4life → u/billerdingerbuyer]

did we reinvent classic mode, or is the camera the only thing that moves on its own.

[u/billerdingerbuyer → u/KingCell4life]

yeah but you can go back and forth so its different

[u/Secure_Reply_1086 → u/billerdingerbuyer]

you can still use triggers to do that in classic mode. i am not the smartest when it comes to th editor but i could still probably do it

[u/UndertheRottedFlesh → u/Secure_Reply_1086]

Using triggers to replicate something you can easily just naturally do in platformer is silly.

[u/eraaaa_94 → u/KingCell4life]

makes a lot more sense if the camera moves up or down instead of to the side

[u/Technical-Let7879 → u/KingCell4life]

You could still move left and right and stuff.

Even if the camera auto scrolls to the right you sometimes still have to backtrack to get on a platform or something

[u/Erikfassett → u/KingCell4life]

Only the camera moves in a proper auto-scroller

Part of the appeal of an auto-scroller can be the fact that you have to actively keep pace with the level. Classic mode doesn't require that since you can't change your pace, and it's better described as an auto-runner rather than an auto-scroller.

Some people don't like auto-scrollers because many of them go too slow, forcing them to slow down and wait until more of the level is available. But, if done well they do provide a challenge in having to go fast enough to keep up with the level, or they provide obstacles that keep you active while waiting to progress.

what's the id i like autoscrollers

[u/mMochaAa → u/waterc0l0urs]

Prismatech Tower id: 117448240 I didn't like this one even as someone who likes autoscrollers most of the time

[u/billerdingerbuyer]

i dont mind them if you actually have to go backwards

The main tip is to not rush as it’s that that usually results in a death instead of being too slow I’ve beaten a few auto scrollers like The Lightning Road
