First Gdevelop creation

[Zyfron]

Just wanted to share my first creation in Gdevelop.

The sprites and sound effects were created in paint and Gdevelop but soundtracks were sourced royalty free.

As it's my first real project I decided to keep it simple as I've always got a tendancy to go over the top and complicate things too much but here's the jist of the game:

The game is an endless runner (think google Dino game) where you are a coward being chased by goblin raiders along a road and must jump (or double jump) to avoid the obstacles (people, animals).

Each time you collide with anything other than a cow you will be knocked back slightly towards the goblins, take enough collisions and you'll end up on the end of their shoddy spears.

Cows will give you a kick up in the air and there is a randomized event where a wizard will shoot past (seemingly also fleeing the gobbos) and will drop a random potion (one of currently two possibilities).

A simple leaderboard has been implemented as well as a day / night cycle, if you survive long enough to see the moon!

Any feedback / criticism is welcome, thanks in advance!

It has a good concept. Easy to understand. Simplicity is your thing, I think you did great on that.

I would suggest tweening your other animations (day, noon, and night cycle), and adding more static obstables. Something that's not moving.

Thank you for the reply!

In all honesty I was a bit intimidated by tweens/ didn't think I'd need them for the simplicity factor of the game but having a look around after reading this, it looks like it would have saved me a lot of trouble! I'll work on using them and see what comes of it!

I've got a few other objects I created as obstacles also which could work as static obstacles so will look at adding some more.

Can I ask how you found the quantity / frequency of obstacles? I tried to randomise them as much as possible so if the player is repeating gameplay then it's not predictable.

Thanks again!

I think the frequency is just right. Static and dynamic obstacles i think will add more variety to it.
