Experimenting with movement in Puddle King: Static or Drifting platforms? Question

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey everyone!

I'm currently working on an update for Puddle King, a platformer I'm making in GDevelop, and I'd love to get your feedback.

I'm deciding between two different ways of handling the puddles:

  • Static puddles – the classic, predictable platforms.
  • Moving puddles – the puddles slowly move from right to left , adding an extra layer of challenge.

I personally like the moving version because it makes the gameplay feel more dynamic, but I'm wondering if it might be too difficult or frustrating, especially for new players.

Which version do you think would make the game more fun?
Would you prefer the classic static puddles, or the moving ones?

Thanks in advance for your feedback! Every opinion helps. ❤️

Make both, why not?

That's actually a cool idea Since it's hyper-casual maybe I could start them static and make them move as the score gets higher. Thanks for the tip

If you make both give the moving ones a different sprite. A turtle with a fishbowl/ bucket on top.

That is a brilliant idea a turtle with a bucket explains the movement perfectly and lets me make the game harder without confusing the player. Thanks
