I'm gonna start this off with some context, just so things make a bit more sense:
After studying old arcade games and figuring out what made them so fun despite their limitations, I learned that all of them revolve around variations of dodging/collecting. Liking the simplicity of that, instead of using rpgmaker's turn based battle system, I want to know if a scrolling platform is possible as a replacement.
The mechanic involves jumping over obstacles and collecting items (in this case, letters) as the screen moves to the left, with the character only being able to face right.
I have read in some old forum posts that point out it's too complicated/not worth it due to rpgmaker's limitations, but it's worth asking. Here is a visual of what I have in mind.
