I coded this game for my son Mateo who is 5 years old, to help with his hand-eye coordination. The goal of the game is to get to the flag at the end of each level.

\*\* updated to adapt to recent changes and adds the combo ⬇🅱 to skip levels \*\*

Wow, this is great! The character/tiles are awesome (and I love that you have more than one “environment”)

Thank you! I have to stream line the code to make adding levels a more straightforward process. And then add a different environment. Maybe a castle? Or desert? Thanks again!

We love your game! Would you mind if we added it the community carousel on the homescreen?

Of course! That would be awesome. I’m the Code Club coordinator at a rural school in Maine and I’m sure my students will love to see it 🙂

Awesome! Just merged it, so it should show up soon. It is already in [beta](https://arcade.makecode.com/beta), if you get the latest version (you might have to use a private browser window to see it for around a day due to the old contents being cached).

This works on Pygamer hardware by Adafruit. I’ll do a video of it tomorrow. I IMPORTED the game code URL (shared by Adri above) into Arcade Beta editor. I am told it is necessary to use beta for Arcade in order to make the joystick in Pygamer work, which it does work for me. I did not try to copy the javascript code and paste that into the game; importing URL did work. I have not tried this game with other consoles. This is the first Arcade game which shows block coding which I was able to download to Pygamer. The other one, Minos, is not in blocks and all others that I have tried have had errors that prevented downloading to hardware…by maybe that is just my fault. Thanks for this Adri 314 !

That’s great! I can’t wait to watch the video. I’d love to get a Pygamer when it’s back in stock. I have it running on a Meow But and it works fine on it.

Got it done early, Adri314…and with both Pygamer and BrainPad Arcade. We will try to change out sprites as a first step with Arcade coding at our library meet-up on Monday: [https://youtu.be/y6gsIFmSgRI](https://youtu.be/y6gsIFmSgRI)

Thanks for sharing! I went ahead and subscribed to your channel. Can’t wait to see what you do with the game.

It’s a very nice game - interesting to see how levels can be done in MakeCode Arcade.

@Adri314 This game is super addictive for my 4 year old, he finished all 10 levels and spent over 10 hours playing it. Thank you for making his day!

That is a great game. I’ve played it a lot. Did your son beat it.
