Actually doodlejump came out first from LimaSky. Papi and the rest of the papi games cloned doodle jump and some other famous games, but they tended to be much worse but costed much less if they weren't free.
great ty for info no one cares lets not talk about papi...
Seconded In the real game, as you get higher, the frequency of platforms decreases. Additionally, I think you should make the frequency of items less as well. There are just way too many items (IMHO) If you can't change the frequency of platforms due to the small screen, at least make them move faster.

I never really liked bouncy ball <sic> games much because they're so counterintuitive to a person who's played classic platformers all his life Also I was thinking instead of making the player slide off if they get too close to an edge, make it like sonic, where it shows a graphic of him balancing on the edge for a while, then falling off. Or was it SSB? I forget.
I'm also going to totally change my tilemapper. I'm fairly certain I can make it run far faster than it goes in the versions I've released. I'm still debating whether to try Runer112's horizontal/vertical method, but I'm sure I could get it to work if I spend some time and effort. Also I'm hungry.
EDIT: I've been debating using cellular automata, but to a limited extent (won't slow it down too much) since now that you can push blocks around, puzzles might be feasable. I'd have to get it to work with tilemapping, however. Or...maybe i'll just keep it around for special effects - sparks and falling dust for the "ruined" second part of the game?
Okay, here's the attributes assigned to each object: To add an object, you need to specify 6 arguments: initial x, initial y, width, height, gravity direction, and lock to player gravity (whether or not it is affected by the player's gravity)
the physics system then adds some other attributes: terminal velocity and mass are calculated using width and height (everything is the same density! ), x velocity, y velocity, and whether or not it is being held onto by the player.
I'm making it so that the player can push all objects around, but they can only carry around a 2 by 2 block. Some objects will retain their gravity direction even if the player changes gravity, but other objects like doors will be affected by the player's gravity direction (gravity puzzles!)

Looks great
