I won a pygamer device in a CTF a few weeks ago and I’ve been having fun with makecode for the past week. This is my first attempt at a playable and maybe fun game. Started work on this after going through the barrel dodger tutorial and then kept adding some stuff on top.

This is a very early state, but I have some ideas for more stuff that I could add:

- Difficulty curve /Leveling
- Life bar (maybe)
- More enemy types, maybe some flying
- Boss encounter? (no clue how that would work tbh)
- Sound/music

Would love you hear your feedback on how it runs in it’s current state and suggestions for what would make it more fun.

PS: Many thanks to the team behind Makecode for making game programming so accessible and all the hand-holding through the tutorials

Thank you so much for checking it out! I changed the enemies so they’re not crates anymore (hence I cannot call it Crate Dodger either 😄)

The game is too hard. I cant jump over anything.
