Racing Stunts and Map

The main stunts/obstacles in my level are a big jump through open cargo doors and a conveyor belt with various boxes on it the players will have to maneuver around. Other landmarks in the level are a tunnel and a large gate that pushes its bars out onto the track.
There is also a very steep slope just before the big jump stunt, inspired by the hills in this short clip from the movie Bullitt.




The jump stunt is referenced from loading dock levelers:
This stunt differs from the regular jump ramps elsewhere in the level by launching the player higher into the air to make for a much bigger jump. After flying through a pair of open cargo doors into another segment of the station, the player lands on a set of conveyor belts carrying boxes that will need to be swerved around.


Because this station is traveling by so many asteroids, after the first lap the player will be able to see them through the windows and (hopefully) there will be a noticeable tremor from impact causing more packages to fall into the track and steam bursting through the machinery. After the second lap there will be more impacts, causing the alarms to go off, conveyors speed up, and the gate bars open and close on the track.



The player will be directed to stay on the right track with the use of railings, walls, accent lights, and arrows (possibly spray painted by the vagabonds).
The concept statement for this level is "survive the impact".
