Introducing MegaRunner

RacetotheMoon

I've been working on an update to one of my older games (An Impossible Game) for quite some time. I was just about finished everything, but didn't want to release it until GameSalad had implemented IAP. I also didn't want to waste time sitting around. So about two weeks ago I decided to make something quick, simple, and (hopefully) fun.

So with that, MegaRunner was born. I haven't yet recorded a video or trailer, so I'll just embed the game here in the thread.

As a challenge, I wanted to see if I could make the game all in one scene. Not including the Pause functionality and an 'Extras' menu, I'm pleased to say I was successful. To accomplish this I used a bunch of interpolations for the menu assets, and moved the camera around when needed. It all came together very well. You might think so too.

The game is currently available in the App Store (iPhone), Android Market, and Amazon.
The B&N Nook and iPad versions should be hitting some time in the next couple days.

Here are some pics from the iPhone version, I scaled the retina screens (960x640) down to (480x320) so they'd be more messageboard friendly.











While I'm posting, I want to take a quick moment to say thanks to the community for all the help you provide. A lot of what I've learned about using the tool has come from scouring all the posts and tutorials. It's a tremendous help.

All the best,

I think your stickman is one of the best animated character :P the smooth transition!!

Looks to be done well but can't tell as i can't even get 100 for distance (playing on trackpad). Could you not put in the controls that down grow also rolls and up jumps? Would make desktop playing soo much easier.

548 on easy 1, you can hold N to roll and also double jump making it easier.

Nice Work!

Darren.

Thanks for the comments guys! I'm planning on putting a bit more into it next week (eg. the stickman blowing up, and some IAP). I'll keep this thread updated with the progress.

@beefy_clyro That's a fantastic idea. I'll update it now.

Edit:
The following controls have been added to the HTML5 version.
