For example, a platformer might use hazards to create challenging obstacle courses, while a role-playing game might use hazards to encourage skill progression and overcome an obstacle. The possibilities are endless, and the best way to use hazards is to experiment and find what works best for your game.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some additional tips for using hazards in game design:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Bottomless Pits<\/strong>: a classic hazard in video games. They can be used to create a sense of danger and suspense, or to simply provide a way to kill the player.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Water<\/strong>: a dangerous hazard in video games. It can drown the player, or it can be used to transport the player to different areas of the game world.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spikes<\/strong>: another classic hazard in video games. They can be used to kill the player instantly, or they can be used to create puzzles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Let&#8217;s explore how to add some hazards into our own scenes now that we have some historical perspective<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-video fusion-youtube\" style=\"--awb-max-width:1920px;--awb-max-height:1080px;--awb-margin-bottom:25px;\"><div class=\"video-shortcode\"><priv-fac-lite-youtube class=\"fusion-hidden\" data-privacy-type=\"youtube\" videoid=\"m1sKMrUptHQ\" class=\"landscape\" params=\"wmode=transparent&autoplay=1&enablejsapi=1\" title=\"YouTube video player 1\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-thumbnail-size=\"auto\"><\/priv-fac-lite-youtube><div class=\"fusion-privacy-placeholder\" style=\"width:1920px; height:1080px;\" data-privacy-type=\"youtube\"><div class=\"fusion-privacy-placeholder-content\"><div class=\"fusion-privacy-label\">For privacy reasons YouTube needs your permission to be loaded.<\/div><button data-privacy-type=\"youtube\" class=\"fusion-button button-default fusion-button-default-size button fusion-privacy-consent\">I Accept<\/button><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><p>First off, we will add a spike to the scene.
