About the game

This game was created for my university module 'Rapid Games Development'. This game was for the networked game assignment. We had to create a game that could be connected via LAN and have 2 players.

 

I came up with the idea for this when I started looking into easy games to make but classics. I found Donkey Kong and thought that it would be great to play with someone so I made it two player.

 

The Basics

One player plays as Jump Man and the other as Donkey Kong. Connect via LAN in the menu, one of you server and the other a client. 

 

Donkey Kong can throw barrels down the ramps. It is random what ladders they go down and what sides they fall off of so Jump Man will never know. You have a limited amount of explosive barrels which explode and create flame enemies at the end of the ramps.

 

Jump man must avoid the barrels and make it up to the platform for the princess. Watch out for the fire enemies created by the explosive barrels as they can climb ladders randomly too. You can pick up hammers to bash the fire creatures to score extra points and kill them.
