Game View: 2D Sidescrolling
Setup: As a runner character attempts to run to the right as fast as possible, you can drop items from the sky into their way to make them trip and stumble. However, the runner will do anything in their power to avoid obstacles, jumping and dodging them when possible.
Goal: Prevent the runner from reaching the finish line within the time allotted.
Progression:
- Additional rewards can be given for causing nasty spills, or chaining stumbles with multiple obstacles.
- As the game progresses, the runner can gain various items and equipment to help them avoid obstacles.
Obstacles:
- Barrel that rolls toward the runner
- Bouncing ball that remains in place, bouncing steadily up and down
- Anvil that smashes the ground in front of the runner
- Bird that follows and circles around the runner’s head, causing cats to appear and lunge in their way from different directions
- Oil slick that causes the runner to slip and slide in place
Runner Upgrades:
- Basketball shoes for greater jump height
- Jetpack for temporary flight
- Animal repellant
- Bridge that can be dropped in place over holes in the ground
