User guide

How to play

The game is designed to be simple to play. The player automatically runs forward, always forward.

Press 2 to jump obstacles until you reach the end of the course. Collect coins to increase you score.

If you hit a wall 3 times you die and will have to start over the level.

Customizing And Modding

Place a PNG 32 image in the levels folder to add more levels to the game start menu.

The image must have a even width and height which must be a multiple of 4 (example 512x512 or 640x480, 256x256). Bigger images make longer levels but there are always 9 levels per file. The maximum size of a level image is 1024x1024.

Background music must have same name as image file. For example JUMPER.png will load JUMPER.mp3 as background music. The background music file is optional.

Scoreboard files are created automatically based the name of the image.

Further instructions in the README.txt file in the levels directory.
