Arcade Run

Created in Unity 5

Arcade Run is an endless run style arcade game in which the player, a small frog teddy, tries to jump its way to the top of the Claw Machine. The player must use falling toys to their advantage in their ascent while narrowly avoiding being stuck underneath a pile of toys forever.

Collect tickets during your run which can then be used to redeem prizes in the eccentric Ticket Wizard's prize exchange!

These prizes include various power-ups which you can store to use in a later run, helping you climb even further to victory.

The power-ups on offer are:

STRONG FROG: This gives you the power of 100 frogs, making you 2x stronger than before. Use this to knock incoming objects out of the way.

SUPER JUMP: Become a jumping sensation, increasing your jump to more than twice it's original height. This is great for when you're in a tricky situation where a normal jump just won't do.

TICKET MULTIPLIER: Use this power-up to increase all ticket values by double - great for the ticket hoarder saving up for more prizes.

SLOW TIME: Kick back and relax with this power-up which slows down time, giving you a great opportunity to climb higher without falling behind.

JET PACK: Achieve what no frog has ever managed before and soar through the air with this handy frog-sized jet pack.

Arcade Run is the first game I've made independently in Unity. I got the idea for this game when watching the Teddy Picker machines on the Pier as I've always been fond of trying to win toys from them! I thought about how unique a concept it would be to instead be the toy trying to escape from being trapped at the bottom of the toy pile and teamed this with inspiration from other endless runner style games such as Super Avalanche.

I hugely challenged myself with this project as it was my first time creating a game which wasn't text based, and through it, I greatly improved my programming skills and gained new tricks and insight which I hope to be able to put into my future games.
