PickNRescue
Save cats! Get gold! And get as far as you can in this challenging side-scrolling runner with a twist!
Play as CRiS (Cat Rescue System) who was lured to the mines by the sounds of countless lost cats (probably thousands, idk). CRiS's only input system is a simple loop pad with a few actions, but coincidentally, he already has all the programming needed to navigate the never ending mines!
How to Play
Drag and drop actions on the right to slot on the loop pad on the left.
The steps on the loop pad are lined up with the lamp posts and the red line shows where CRiS is in relation to them.
Actions:
PICKAXE - use this to break open gold ores. Collecting gold gives you arbitrary points
JUMP - avoid barriers
RESCUE - rescue cats that have wandered too far looking for canaries. Rescuing cats nourishes the soul (even for robots)
STOP - does nothing... because I ran out of time. Don't use Stop. Or do. I'm not the boss of you.
Known bugs/improvements:
- The lamp posts slip out of line when the game speeds up. So don't get too comfortable!
- Controls are better suited to mobile, but this is isn't supported yet!
- No menu or pause! I'm not sure if I'm going to add this yet, it's more fun to keep you all on your toes.
- Why is it so damn quiet in here? It's because I stayed up late getting distracted by all the cool 8 bit retro music I could add to the game, and then didn't find time to actually add it in. Same with SFX (a lot of people upload random cat sounds, it was a wonderful waste of my time)
- Screenshots/Cover image coming soon!
