OBSTACOURSE

GAME BY JAMES NASH             MUSIC BY ALICE BOYD

WHAT IS OBSTACOURSE?!

OBSTACOURSE is a minimalist platforming micro-game. Guide DUNGAREE DOG through the OBSTACOURSE, a four-level, colour-coded athletic gauntlet. Expect spikes, spring blocks, some crumbs of environmental storytelling and lots and lots of jumping.

WHY DID YOU MAKE IT?

I've played games since I was 6 and I've always wanted to make a minimalistic game that's both arcade-y and arty. Obviously I've had a lot of free time recently so I thought I would give it a go. It's my first game that involves programming and I'm not a brilliant coder so there are some small glitches, faults and things I couldn't deliver on, but I'm really happy with it all the same, and I hope you enjoy playing it.

WHAT ARE THE CONTROLS?

oh yeah.

LEFT or RIGHT to MOVE

Z or X to JUMP
