A downloadable game for Windows

How far can you run?

This is a game inspired by the dino game in Chrome. I started working on it 2024 May 29th, and brought it to a point that I was comfortable with releasing it in only four days. I may continue development, as there's a few more features I'd like to add.

The backbone of the game's code was organized by ChatGPT-4o, though a majority of the code, as well as all of the art and sound assets were made by me.


How to play:
↑ or W - Jump
↓ or S - Roll
↑ or W while rolling - Super Jump
↓ or S while in the air - Fall faster
[SPACE] - Pause
[ESC] - Back/Menu/Quit
[F2] - Restart Run
