A Team Fortress Side-Scroller Game

The Great Class Dash

By Dylan 'Steaky' Loney

A new-and-exciting Team Fortress Platformer. Use all nine classes to make your way to the end of four unique levels.

For more information, please visit http://classdash.yolasite.com

This game was started as part of a mapping contest, and the feedback I got encouraged me to finish the project.

I have done my best to try to get the game to run with as few problems as possible, but there are still some glitches in the game (the class selection can be especially tricky, and may glitch if you try to change classes too quickly). I appologize if this happens.

Special thanks to TF2Maps.net for their work on the Swamp pack.

Please let me know if you have any questions or feedback about the game.

    You WOULD have received a Approve, but you messed up my aim controls, and your console commands are not available in the Engineer Update version of Team Fortress 2.

    Posted by Tron619 I cant move my mouse either,how can i fix it?
    I had the same problem and fixed it by turning my mouse sensitivity up.

    To both of you and benumi: look in the readme, there is a command that includes the word "backspace" that will restore your key binds

    to the creator: great mod. swamp is pissass hard, though

    Well, maybe the bread. Maybe.

    Well, I forgot to come back to edit my review as I actually finished playing through the Volcano and Swamp levels just after I wrote my initial review.

    I'm sticking with what I wrote for the cons, because the constant swapping of players became more tedious and almost became a test of speed and memorization of keys more than skill (unless you consider memory skill, lol). The soldier class needs to be utilized for something more useful than simply doing damage at the very end. Still great work!

    REVIEW BY BAKA_SAVANT87:

    THE GOOD: Its a fun game, challenging and very clever not to mention tricky to master at some moments but that only adds to the fun of it all...I easily would recommend this to anyone of my friends who want a break from other severs if they are losing or the game was lagging. The game challenges the player to remember certain commands at the right time to keep advancing or be forced back to the last check point and it reminds me of Cannanbalt but only way more cool since you can do so many more things...not to mention its more colorful and involves TF2 references!

    THE BAD: Perhaps at times a little too difficult. I was the volcano level and it took me at least a good ten minutes to reach the second check point! I had to switch between six different classes so quickly at times I lost track of the switch commands and was constantly sent back to the last check point over and over again...don't know if others had this same issue or if I'm just not as skilled a player at fast 2-D games but I gave up upon reaching the third marker of the level! There are several things that could be done to make this gave a bit easier for players, but I don't need to list them as of yet

    THE UGLY: Not much to say here honestly the worst thing I ran into was some occasional glitches like where I could make some classes do the jobs of others (which mind you seeing the scout run through a wall the heavy was supposed to break was funny! XD) and also when some classes would jump forward in the map instead of switching right where you had been standing...a little confusion there and in turn cost me some points but no real big deal. Over all thats about it.

    One last issue I ran into was that of at each character description screen I once accidentally moved my mouse and it caused the whole screen to shift and I was now looking on a big white sky box background with some shades of the levels sky. I could easily turn it back but it was a little strange. Might want to find a way to lock that down in the updated version should one be made.

    FINAL SCORE: 8/10

    Pros: VERY innovative! I loved it! Great idea come to life and a old school platformer's wet dream. The levels are nicely detailed (I've only played Canada and Egypt thus far) and very fun to play. Cons: I'm not a fan of being in motion all the time. I'm also not too sold on how the classes are used. Making them unique is obviously what makes them reasonable to use, but when I was playing Egypt, I felt as if I was only being tested on how quickly I can hit a key while in motion, and I feel the game should be about more than that. I also had the problem with occasionally getting stuck in the ground having to reset (which is why I haven't gotten any further). It also looks like you can go into a first person by using the Bonk drink (I'm not sure if taunting can do it since I didn't try). Improvements: See Cons. Notes: Really innovative gameplay and I can't wait to see a more finished product. Keep up the good work! :)

    Pros: Totally new idea. Loved the third person platforming. Great looking maps. Very detailed. Loved the Train. Cons: Too much use of scout. No reason to shoot guns which would be a cool feature. Improvements: Add more uses for the classes. Maybe add an option to play in first person. (I played Canada that way and it was even more fun) Notes: This is the first time I ever saw a single player TF2 map and it is a great map. My only problems is the extensive use of the scout for just about everything. But this is a great map and everyone should at least try this masterpiece out.
