Charon Runner

As Charon, navigate the fire river, collect obols and avoid obstacles in your way. Up and Down to steer, Space to restart game.

Gamedev.TV Game Jam 2022 submission. Done in about 2 hours of painful coding - all I could find time-wise for this Jam. This attempt has a lot of issues that I couldn't fix in time. My first attempt at putting something together on my own after doing a portion of Gamedev.TV Unity 2d course. I wanted to make use of the basic scripting lessons, powerups, physics&colliders, powerups, and canvas. Idea for a moving background taken from a video "endless platformer in 5 minutes".
