Bouncy Goo action tool

It allow the player to bounce maintaining part of the initial speed
There is vertical and diagonal Goo

▼ Some thoughts on the mechanics individually for Slope Goo and Block Goo

The Goo diagonal slope for game play-ability should calculate the resulting speed to be always 45° as that is the main purpose of that slope, to send the player diagonally always
The player moves in the slope until the center of it, and in that moment the action of bounce happens

Although, if the player needs to be in the center of the slope, if you move a bit up or down of it, you wouln´t get the Goo slope to work. Perhaps the action tool should work even without being on the center (would activate the moment the player hits the slope, or some frames after) That means the slope would work as a slope for that few (or single) frames (Might need to make it looks like the smiley reduced the speed to maintain the smiley graphic in the area of the slope for such frames, similar to what happens on the Retractile Spikes GIF)
If that is the case, the player that was having a diagonal speed, and was moving super close to an edge when entering in contact with the Goo slope, would looks like bouncing on the air after that "some frames", even so, I think that is ok to happens

The frames that are used for the animation and makes the player looks like it stopped on the Goo for bouncing calculation on practice would make the action tool hard to get familiarized with, but in the long run I think would be for the best
Gonna do a GIF that shows how block Goo would looks like to maintain speeds

About Block Goo:
The Goo makes it looks like you losed X axis speed for the frames you are into the action tool action. But when you exit it, the momentum of the X axis in this case remain intact that before you joined the action tool
What changes is the Y axis in this case get reduced as you bounce
When the Bounce is not high enough to make the smiley block hitbox exit the Goo hitbox from Y axis, you no longer bounce until you enter again from Y axis

▼ Additional test for Block Goo

▼Situation tests:

In case the player Pixel perfect to the Goo while having Y speed (or X respectively), then the 2 frames of animation would remove all X (Or Y respectively) speed to 0, but the Goo bouncy action would still be triggered:

In case the player moves on a Block Goo without Y (Or X respectively) speed, then the player does not trigger the Goo unless gaining Y (or X respectively) speed (Jumping for example):

"Respectively": Depending the side of the Goo hitted

Re: Bouncy Goo action tool

I think stuff like this would fit the new EE very well, whatever it's going to be like. I'm not sure why exactly, but this (also the bubble) feels more immersive than the action blocks that EE had. Bubbles and goo blocks feel like they could actually be a part of some environment, and they give interesting movement for the player too.

I genuinely feel like it would be really fun to play worlds with these sort of blocks, good ideas!

Re: Bouncy Goo action tool

What are odds for this concept to be added in the main game?

Re: Bouncy Goo action tool

i feel like the delay between hitting the block and bouncing off of it is too much
personally it would be best (and easiest) to make it not have delay at all, but if people want it to have delay, i think it should only be 1 or 2 frames
