Roo Run - v 1

The zoo had to close and now all the animals are trying to escape! Help the kangaroo run away from the animal control who’s trying to catch him. Push A and B back and forth as fast as you can to run faster. This game was created for the first Arduboy Game Jam. ! Your high score will be recorded and saved. If you think you get a really high score, Tweet me a pic!

It is so good!

I just used Photoshop… :stuck_out_tongue:

Factual inaccuracy, Your kangaroo is not wearing an Akubra, nor is he drinking xxxx gold, likewise there were no drop bears to dodge.

  • Testing arduboy.audio.enabled() in the sound() function is redundant. By passing arduboy.audio.enabled to the ArduboyPlaytune tunes object, the tunes.tone() call will handle muting for you.

  • You’re using EEPROM.update() to save the high score but it will only save one byte of the unsigned int highscore. I think you want to use EEPROM.put().

I get a lil dizzy when playing this because I end up shaking the Arduboy so much when playing. :dizzy_face: The scrolling background looks great. I would love to know what you initially had in mind for this game since I saw somewhere that you changed plans to make the deadline.

(Holmes) #9

Initially, there would be trash cans and other obstacles that spawn in your path, meaning you would have to jump over them or be knocked back.

That is interesting because I expected obstacles when I played it. I also thought you might have been going for a side scrolling fighting game like Double Dragon. Lot of potential. :slight_smile:
