Rocket Bloke
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
EARLY PROTOTYPE - ASPECTS OF GAMEPLAY AND GRAPHICS SUBJECT TO CHANGE
You are Rocket Bloke! A bloke that for some reason has a rocket tied to his back, and now he must try and get through levels of ever-increasing difficulty while collecting diamonds that he hopes to spend and Jerry Cans to fuel his rockets; avoiding hazards along the way.
A very simple runner that was built over the course of few days as part of a programming test I took part in. Releasing it here because I really like what I've made, and I kind of want to gauge if I should continue to develop this game into a full game for both the PC and Mobile Phones.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Get to the end of each level by using your Rocket Pack to avoid hazards, and gaps in the level. Falling into the water will result in the death of Rocket Bloke!!
Along the way, make sure to collect as many diamonds as you can and once near the end of the level try and land on the highest multiplier possible for a higher score! Also, don't forget to collect Jerry Cans to keep your rocket fuel up!!
CONTROLS
 | A KEY | MOVE LEFT |

Could you export a Linux executable?
Yeah sure, will work on creating a Linux version! :)
Thanks for the Linux version :)
Pretty sweet so far! Great job!
I'm pretty sure you know all of these but will mention them just in case:
- On PC you could map Esc for the pause menu as well
- Adding a pause menu button somewhere at the top will be good for mobile (I don't think hiding in PC is needed - personal preference there)
- When you pause, the player forwards movement is halted but not the vertical one. If you are mid-jump, it falls down
- The pause menu is visible behind the win/lose screen
- On the 3rd level I'm not sure if will want to turn the camera when switching to the diagonal paths
- Possibly add a backwards bounce when you hit a platform head on to avoid the player getting stuck. Right now this could be gameplay mechanic depending on how you look at it :D
The gameplay is really relaxing! Really nicely done!
No problem :D
Really glad you're enjoying the game.
Thank you for playing, and all of the feedback, will be implementing it all in the next update!! :)
Just uploaded a Linux executable :D
