I write about games on steemit for about half a year and about a year ago, I made a game for android. I wrote about it in my first article, but I did not know which tags I should use or what people are interested on this platform and most importantly the game was not for free, because I had big plans for it in the future. However I changed my job and now I don’t have time for developement anymore, so I decided to change the price tag of the game on „free“ write an article about it and let it go.
And what the hell is this shit, do you ask? The games is named The Ball Run. It is a 2D Platformer, controlled by only one finger. That was the first idea of this game. I wanted something simple, but not adventure game. So by tapping on your screen, the ball (main character!) jumps. It sound simple and it really is, but the ball can change direction by bumping into a white block, so the ball can go left or right. I want to say that it is story driven game and it has a story, but it is not a Shawshank redemption. In short, you lost your friends and you are on jurney to find them.
It was my first unity project. My programming skills where close to zero. I only did a simple calculator in Java and C# before, but learning all new things was the biggest fun. I discovere something called IF, it looks like this
if (condition) { Console.WriteLine("A"); } else { Console.WriteLine("B"); }
And then I used it almost for everything. Time has shown that it was not the best idea, but I learned something new! For those who are interested it is written in C#.. So if you are bored, download it, try it and hate me in the comments! :D
