Moving platform



Moving platforms are a type of platform in and. They are found in Octo Valley, Octo Canyon and the Octo Expansion.

Description
Moving platforms are platforms able to move without the use of a propeller.

Usage
Moving platforms are used to assist the player from getting to one area from another. The platforms can move in a variety of directions and ways. If the platform is not moving in such a way that it creates a slope, the player on the moving platform stays in the relative area if they are directly on the platform. However, they will be in the general area in the air when they jump, so they risk falling off if they are too close to the edge or if the platform moves very quickly and swimming on the wall has their directional input be relative to the direction they are as if it were a normal wall. If the platform moves such that it creates a slope, the player starts sliding down if they are standing. Players are affected by gravity while they are swimming on a sloped surface, though ultimately still be able to swim as long as they are not upside-down, in which they fall.
