Boots Treat Street Trolley Dash

Another thing I made at work. Pink, isn't it?


This was the project I was using Corona for, as mentioned previously. So technically this is also my first ever Android app, although that side of things was really an afterthought — and a whole world of hurt with it.

The project had originally been pitched to the client as a Tiny Wings clone (because original ideas are hard), but it ended up more closely resembling Canabalt, with the simple tap-to-jump mechanics. Only the zoom-out on max height jumps remains to hint at the original 'inspiration'.

Graphics were chiefly the work of m'colleague Chloe (with sister Rosie helping out on faces). Trivia for the day: Chloe also provides all the vocals. One day I will set up "Naughty Doggie!" as her new e-mail alert sound.
