Blue Collar Run is a personal project I created within a short 2-week timeframe to challenge myself as a game developer. The game is a fun and exciting take on the classic endless runner genre, where the player must jump to avoid obstacles and collect burgers to gain points. I drew inspiration from the popular mobile game Jetpack Joyride, which I had fond memories of playing during childhood. I aimed to gain a deeper understanding of game development with Blue Collar Run by recreating some of its core mechanics.

During production, I made significant strides in optimizing the game’s performance by learning to destroy in-game elements such as burgers and obstacles the player has already passed. This optimization helped to conserve memory and prevent the game from slowing down. After completing the base game, I conducted extensive quality assurance testing to ensure a smooth and bug-free experience for players.

To take Blue Collar Run to the next level, I implemented new features such as a small intro similar to Jetpack Joyride, a double jump to increase player control, and more challenging and higher obstacles to make the gameplay more exciting. I also added a sprint button to enable players to increase their speed to help avoid obstacles. Blue Collar Run offers players an even more engaging and immersive experience with these new additions.

Overall, I am proud of my accomplishments with Blue Collar Run. Through this project, I have gained valuable experience in game development, and I am thrilled to have recreated a timeless classic in the endless runner genre. You will undoubtedly enjoy the exhilarating and endless running experience that Blue Collar Run offers.
