Haven't played Platform racing 2 since like 2011-2012 just wondering how do i play it because it won't load on the website for me.

I accidentally closed the other thread... maybe a mod can delete it lmao

This is more of a quality of life suggestion, but I think there should be a confirmation window whenever you attempt to change PR2 loadouts. Whenever you press keys 0-9 your characters stats and style change, but this can be rather annoying if you didn't want to use a loadout. So maybe a prompt that says: "Are you sure you want to use loadout x?" would be helpful before applying the stats and style changes.

The player requirement for getting a part from campaign should be changed from 4 to 2 in order to accommodate the decline in PR2 players. When PR2 was popular the 4 player requirement was acceptable, but since the game is far from its glory days this should be changed. It's nearly impossible to gather 4 players to race on campaign and by extension this causes parts/sets to be unobtainable for new accounts without making multiple accounts. I think 3 or 4 years ago this should have probably went to 3 players, but even getting 3 players on campaign can be challenging now.

Level Editor Suggestions:

Customizable Blocks: I get to customize a block (any block of my choosing) by adding my own color/drawing to it. The block keeps its current properties, but its aesthetic is allowed to be played with. There are 29 blocks total if you include the Safety Net and the Egg Minion.

A Select Tool: A select tool that can be used to select any area on the map to either be dragged & dropped or copied & pasted. This applies to both blocks & art. Someone in another thread suggested a drag & drop tool, but they limited it to just drawings.

Remember Jiggmin's obscure, exclusive to his site, and simple (yet addictive) game, Orbit?

No? I'm the only one? Everybody here is too busy flaunting their simming prowess in PR2 and aren't Jiggmin loremasters like myself? Okay...

Well, if you don't, that's okay. I remembered FOR you. As an aside while working on my Platform Racing clone (sorry, I'm just totally redoing the entire codebase for the third time and that's why there's been no progress, no I don't have a problem), I made a little remake of the game because I figured it'd be good practice (and more manageable in contrast to something as complex as Platform Racing).



Here's a little clip I recorded of it.

I'll clean up the code a bit, add some more visual flair and toss the code up somewhere in a jiff, as free/libre software of course. For the REAL Orbit superfans (me and one other person, I know they're out there, I WILL FIND YOU), I could even add some EPIC QoL features for the ULTIMATE multi-color sphere rotating and popping experience.

Here'sa little aside: I recall there was a contest on the OG JV where you'd played some selected game as a challenge. I recall Orbit being one such game (or maybe it was one of Jiggmin's other adjacent arcadey games) and I won said contest. Thing is, I actually I didn't. I just took the score screen and edited the numbers in MS Paint to look legit and win. I never have admitted this to anyone before, and it's been so long that I doubt anybody would care. This is my way of atoning. I hope you will forgive me.

In case you don't play pc games on Steam, maybe you'll change your mind after this. I don't know about you all, but I'm a huge fan of pc horror games, from anything that has something to do with companies like Starbreeze Studios, Indie Horror Games, etc; so whenever I see something like this, it gets me excited, yet it scares the shit out of me! Everyone will have their personal opinions about game companies and all, but this right here is a go-to for me.

I don't know what your tolerance level is, for scary games like this, but if you have a high tolerance past a 7, then you're not going to be frightened by pc horror games like this. I don't want to spoil the game for anyone (even though it's been a year since its' release), but check the gameplay footage out and tell me if it's something that you would try out for yourself.

Tolerance levels explained:

0: Unbearable... PERIOD!- This means that you're the kind of person who is SO TERRIFIED that you would rather watch paint dry, or go back in time and erase your memory from ever playing one of these games, or seeing them in the first place. This game sends jaw dropping, bone chilling, lightning nerves down your system! As soon as you hear something strange, you'd QUIT the game, IMMEDIATELY, and get your money back!

1-2: Nightmare Worthy- This game scares the living shit out of you, to the point where you'll have nightmares about demons trying to kill you, and you can't take it! If you had to play this game, you'd be the kind of person to do it during the day, with a friend who isn't terrified.

3-4: Severely Terrified!- This means that you're not the type of person who enjoys demons, ambushing you out of nowhere, or hearing creepy, ambience music. If you had to play this game, you'd probably do it during the day.

5: Moderate- Your level of fear says that 'you can take some punishment, but at the same time, you'd rather not do that because games like this will mind-f*ck you', and there's no chance of recovery from that.

6-7: Mildly Terrified- You can suffice a little more punishment than you did before. BUT, your heart is still racing a little bit because of the creepy atmosphere and the dark entities that this game has.

8-9: I can take some serious punishment!- This means that not only are you barely bothered by this game, you can play it without feeling the need to quit. No matter what happens, you're a strong surviver! You should also be able to play this game at night, and finish it.

10: BOSS- The word says it all. You're not bothered, period! In fact, you should have zero problems, finishing the game.

New single. This time with Jazz (and pop...)

The 5 per hour includes times where it says "please wait 10 seconds before deleting a level" (i.e. it counts towards the rate limit when it shouldn't, since nothing was deleted then)

im surprised this thread hasnt been made yet

What hobby projects do you have?

Do you work on hardware? Are you into HAM radio? Do you break into systems? Do you have a home server?

For me, I've been getting into home servers and setting up my personal cloud. It's fun, but expensive.  I'm hoping to go into custom computers after I move into a more permanent house.
