Fire-Exit

Inspiration 🌟

We drew inspiration from classic vertical scroller games like Doodle Jump and Angry Birds. Combining thrilling survival mechanics like rising lava 🌋 and dynamic platform generation, we aimed to create a fun yet intense game where players must race to safety 🚁.

What it does 🚀

The game challenges players to climb platforms while escaping rising lava 🌊. With dynamically generated platforms, a progress bar 📊 tracking the player's height, and a warning ⚠️ when lava starts rising, the gameplay is fast-paced and exciting. Players must reach the helicopter 🚁 at the top before the lava catches them.

How we built it 🛠️

We built the game in Unity using C#. Core mechanics like platform spawning, lava rising, and UI elements (e.g., progress bar 📈) were implemented with custom scripts. Amazon Q 🤖 helped refine the code, and TextMeshPro 📝 polished the UI.

Challenges 🤔

Key challenges included preventing platform overlap, balancing the lava rise speed ⏫ based on player movement, and syncing the progress bar 📊 with gameplay. Optimizing dynamic backgrounds and platform recycling also required fine-tuning.

Accomplishments 🏆

We’re proud of creating engaging mechanics like the rising lava 🌋 and dynamic platform generation 🔄. Polished UI elements, such as the progress bar and blinking warning text ⚠️, added to the immersive gameplay experience.

What we learned 🎓

We learned to optimize level design, implement real-time mechanics, and balance gameplay to keep it fun yet challenging. Unity’s physics engine 🔧 and UI systems taught us how to create scalable, maintainable code.

What's next 🔥

We plan to add power-ups ✨, new platform types 🪜, and multiplayer mode 👫. Optimizing the game for mobile 📱 and introducing difficulty levels 📊 will make Fire-Exit even more exciting!
