    Wow amazing game. Did you design the graphics yourself? How did you make the graphics look so clean?

    Hello guys!

    Splendid game, Coyowl!
    By the way, did you do it with Avoidance preset or Stage Clear?

    I try to convince my character to move inside a shape, as it happens in your game, Coyowl, but although it seems simple at first glance, I can't get it.

    First of all, I've inserted an image that covers the entire screen, as Enemy, then I put another image on top, having a specific shape, as I need, as Platform, with No collide attribute, and over it I put my character. But when I hit Play, character dies instantly. It seems it doesn't understand :)D) that between it and the enemy image, there is another one.

    Then I tried the other way round...
    I first put a picture, as a Platform - No collide, and, over it, an Enemy image having a specific shape cut in the middle, and then the character, inside the "hole" (to say so). Now, when I Play, again, the character dies immediately.
    It doesn't seem to recognize the "holes" inside the PNGs either.

    What do I miss?!

    Hello @Yoocris
    Glad you liked my game!
    This is how I did it:I used virtual joystick for movement. The background images are objects set as decorations so they won't interfere with the gameplay. For the outline of the image I used small objects as enemies. It was a painful process but it paid off in the end :)

    So, if I got it right, you used a multitude of points, as enemies, with visibility set to 0 to make the outline of those pictures?!
    After some research, I found the clip below, but I was hoping for an easier alternative (you did something as we see starting from 4:20?)...
