Blues Runner

In childhood, whenever I was looking out the window from the backseat of a car or a bus, I would imagine a figure running through the roads, highways and roofs. So this game is like a homage to those daydreams.

All the assets except for the font (running figure,  background, platform, obstacle and item graphics - a simple 8 bit loop with a slowed down variation, win theme and sound effects made in deflemask) were created during the jam by myself.

The game contains 3 Stages for the moment. Difficulty sets the scroll speed: Normal(1/2 screen per second), Hard(3/4 screen per second), Absurd(1 screen per second).

Run and Jump from platform to platform, avoiding obstacles which include: Trash Cans, Tires (Rolling or Bouncing), Street Lamps and Neon Signs.
