Description

(This piece is currently only 1 part of the temple, the rest has not been created yet. )
The Water Temple includes more complicated puzzles, mainly focusing around movement around the flow of water.
Moving Platforms and Timed Pressure Plates are the main gameplay mechanics the player will encounter. Valves will present as well, but they will mainly be to toggle water on/off providing changes to the level and also activating/deactivating gameplay features.
The overall goal of the temple is to turn off 3 Valves which lower the water level in a central tube housing the Water Orb. After all 3 valves have been turned off the Orb will be at the bottom of the tube an the player will be able to collect it.
The current section which has been made is partway through the temple so there are mechanics present which would be considered an "intermediate" challenge.
In this section the player will enter a room with a large body of water they need to cross, they can see a long pipe leading across the room which informs the player where they need to go. Using a valve activates the platforms which can be seen moving across the water providing a path for the player. Some platforms area a different colour, these are traps which will knock the player into the water if they don't jump off the platform quick enough. Reaching the other side allows the player to activate the main valve.
After activating the valve platforms appear along the left wall providing the player a new, safer alternate route back to the entrance.
Playable version available on request.
