Nice!

Just curious: How do you decide how and why zooming occurs? Invisible objects in the path? Coordinates? Items?

@erdo Thanks! :slight_smile:
And yeah based on the scene, items, invisible objects in the path, enemies position and more ā€¦ itā€™s kinda tricky and needs lots of testing to get it right or the right position.
Also based on the scene means sometimes there is an epic moment or a cool thing in the level (like in the video) then I use zoom to show the player how cool is it or how massive it is (the level is called ā€œForest Of The Deep Giantsā€ so yeah there is big stuff in this level to show the player ā€¦ it adds a bit of emotion and atmosphere to the game.
.
This zooming technique is used in games like Hollow knight, Ori and the will of the wisps, etcā€¦

Cool!
I think you should work on the contrast between the platforms and the background of the first environment.
You did it so well in the second environment.
