Background

Created in late 2016, this was my first game made in Java. I did the art, level, BGM, and coding. Made it within two weeks as a final project for an introductory programming course.

The idea originated from just a game I played in my head while riding in the car as a child. Bouncing from left to right on the street, trying to avoid cars and pitfalls. It entertained my as a kid, so I figured it might entertain others as well.

At one point I had thoughts of continuing this project, but decide against it. I may reuse mechanical ideas in future projects however.
