This Endless Runner is trying to escape the Hangman. Good luck!
I was about half way through when I realized that the Styx tune "Renegade" is a perfect theme song for this game. I would have asked for a license to include the tune but figured they would laugh at my art. I decided it wasn't worth the trouble. Instead, I've given you the first line of the song and you can sing the parts you know.
"Oh Mama, I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law...(3 lines skipped)... Hangman is comin' down from the gallows and I don't have very long" - from "Renegade" by Styx on the album Pieces of Eight, circa 1979
The game is not fully balanced :( and the dictionary of words is kind of short. Opinions differed on whether full health should be restored after a word is successfully guessed. High score is not currently saved, and it's really hard to get past Level 1. It would probably be a lot easier if I had actually had time to build a Level 2. No theme song -- no audio at all, actually, but this way you won't get in trouble if you play it at work, right? Hands on the keyboard but only the space bar does anything. Well, except maybe for one key that I forgot to take out of the debug build. Oops! Easter egg?
This game was created using the free-for-the-weekend GameMaker Studio 2 which I started learning on Friday night. :D I thought I'd be able to output HTML but no luck. Download the zip, unzip, scan if you like, and fire it up.
