During my free time, I created a personalized platformer
game called "Oscar Rescue 2" as a special gift for my girlfriend's 22nd birthday. This three-level side-scroller features
characters and places from her life, centered around rescuing her beloved dog from mischievous cats.
Each level challenges players to jump across platforms,
dodge enemy cats that run and jump at you, and overcome
obstacles to progress toward saving Oscar. I designed the environments and characters based on
meaningful locations and shared
memories from her life, making the gameplay both challenging and personally
significant.
I built the entire game myself using Greenfoot, handling
everything from level design and enemy AI to character
animations and collision detection. The finished product offers an engaging
experience that's both a heartfelt birthday present and an enjoyable game that friends and
family can play.
