Tyrannosaurus Run

A super-powered tiny dino platformer
Project Overview
This 2D pixel-platformer uses the power of the elements to help the tiny dinos traverse the land and defeat the curropted creatures before the planet is destroyed!

Being my first project, I began working on this to teach me Python and overall game development simultaneously. I grew to love the physics and mathematics of creating innovative player mechanics, as well as the vfx that enhance the gaming experience when traversing the level. I still use this project to this day to test new coding methods and slowly build this game into a whole universe.
In each level a player may select one of the 4 dino heroes to use their powers to help them traverse the land and beat corrupt creatures. Each level will be carefully crafted for players to go it alone, or take up to 3 others along for the ride. Each conquered level will in turn change the timeline, bringing them a little bit closer to their original era for a chance to defeat their corrupt brethren. If given opportunity to flourish, this project could expand to PvP & Co-op game play as well.
In a distant future, 4 tiny dinos have mastered power over the elements and use them to keep the peace among the land, but one tiny dino has been corrupted by the power of space-time! After being transported to a foreign era, these 4 heroes must battle corrupt creatures and incredible environments in order to get back to their timeline to stop the evil dino from destroying the earth!
