Platforms (Twin Shot)

A list of platforms and blocks in the Twin Shot series.

General appearance
Blocks are usually square, although some are rectangular, and they have rounded edges.

General game information
They can all be stood on, although some are not stable at some times.

Rock
This is the normal platform. The player can jump up through it but not fall back down. It is a light tan colour and looks to be of a ancient Roman/Greek style. The evil one is dark pink and red.

Spring platforms
There are two types of spring platforms: red and orange. Of the two, red is the most powerful. When the player steps on a spring, he will be launched into the air. Spring platforms are usually placed on top of rock platforms.

Crumbling rock
Crumbling rock is a gray, slightly cracked rock. After the Angels stand on it, a few seconds will pass before it crumbles away. This can be a hazardous mechanism or help the character get to the top of a level.

Blue rock
Blue rock is like normal rock, but cannot be jumped up through. It is also colored blue.

Switching platforms
These platforms are blue colored, and have an eye in the middle. They will switch on and off every few seconds. Other than this they behave like other platforms.

Wood platforms
These platforms are similar to switching platforms except that they are controlled by a switch, not a timer. The player can turn these on or off to his liking.

Disappearing platforms
These platforms are like the other two switching platforms but are controlled by firing at a little brown rock in the wall. When a brown control rock has been shot with an arrow, the platforms will activate for a short time. After being activated, they will slowly begin to fade. When they have completely faded, the player must fire at the rock again to re-activate it.

Pushable bricks
Pushable bricks are platforms that can be moved by pushing them or shooting an arrow into them. They can be used to reach higher platforms.

Metal tiles
Metal tiles behave exactly like Blue rock, since the players cannot jump through from below. However, the player can't create arrow platforms on metal tiles, all arrows shot into metal tiles are sprung off. They are a blue colour.

Bouncy tiles
Bouncy tiles are a red colour and will spring back any entity that touches them. Several levels are made entirely of them. Coins, players, power ups and enemies all bounce off this type of tile.

Fans
Fans will push the player upwards.
