Hurdle Jump is an app inspired by my passion for track, specifically hurdles. I wanted to make a game that was reflective of my personality and incorporated aspects of games that I enjoy. Hurdle Jump's layout is simple, but the player quickly comes to realize the difficulty in succeeding and obtaining a high score. Players control two runners simultaneously during their sprint over hurdles. If you touch the right side of the screen the top runner jumps, if you touch the left side of the screen the bottom runner jumps. Your goal is the jump over as many oncoming hurdles as possible. The game ends when a hurdler fails to clear the obstacle. During development, it was important to make the app challenging enough, so that players have the drive to increase their high score. Game Center leaderboard and Twitter are currently the two options embedded in the app for players to boast to their friends about top scores and drive competition. Creating Hurdle Jump for the House App Challenge has acted as a "jumping" off point for my development of future apps.
