Coin Rush is a fast-paced arcade game with 48-hours worth of gameplay! (may require some effort)
The idea is simple: Collect as many coins as you can before you die!
Every 10 seconds (yeah yeah, i know) a random event happens, be it an increase in enemy speed, or more coins!
Enemies fall from the holes above. Jump on his head to defeat him, ala Mario. If he touches you, you die.
Enemies collect fallen coins. When you kill them, DOUBLE the coin amount is released. This makes for interesting combos. Enemies can hold a max of ~500 coins.
There is a shop at the bottom, with 4 items you can buy (one after the other).
Controls:
Arrow Keys / WASD / ZQSD >>>> Move/Move around the Menu
W / Z / Up / Space >>>>>>>>>> Jump
S / Down >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Select/Buy item from shop
Esc >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Quit
There are online scores, but they're a bit finicky. If a problem arises, tell me!
Thanks a ton for checking the game out! I feel this is my personal best entry to a compo so far.
Tech used:
Java
LWJGL library
Slick, for loading resources
MySQL Connector, for server connection
Paint.NET / GraphicsGale for sprite creation
SFXR for sound effects
GarageBand for music
