Previously a private repo: https://gitlab.com/malcolmmaima/Luanda
Version 2.0 with new charcater animations and bug fixes has been moved to a private Gitlab Repo due to License since this game is going to be launched at some point. A lot of what is available in this particular github repo has changed and is for educational/open-source purposes. Do have fun and watch out for the finished product.(Playstore link will be posted for the Beta).

NB: A lot has changed since the recording of this demo. New screncast will be posted once testing is done.
This is a quick DEMO of a 2D game based on a fictional African Story about Lwanda Magere(Luanda) who could only be killed through his shadow. (^.^) I am working on the game in partnership with an African Comic Startup, 254 Comics who have been helfpul in the dev process. This game prototype was for our Techcrunch Battlefield Africa application under the gaming category but unfortunately we were not shortlisted to be among the groups pitching which were 3.
It was an interesting experience especially for me as the lead Game Dev and we plan to continue bringing african stories through 2D/3D games. If you feel you would be a great add to the team please do hit me up (malcolmmaima [at] gmail [dot] com), Looking forward to hearing from you. Also game improvement suggestions are welcome.
You can test the game on your phone, my last build is here

Once the Game loads, you're met with a cool parallax effect background and thunder noises in the background. Three game options can be seen.
A quick interactive box pops up which kind of gives you a feel of what to expect as the game proceeds. You'll notice on the bottom left corner that there is a game timer, you have exactly 30 seconds to complete this introductory first level. Note: You can pause the game which pauses the timer as well.
There are invisible checkpoints once stepped on will activate lethal arrows thrown to your direction. These arrows affect your Lwanda player's health and you might want to be careful. Also watch out for sharp objects popping out of nowhere (^_^).
If you do not finish the obstacle course in time or you run out of health, well....Bye bye! you can restart and try as many times as you want.
Some additional features that I am yet to implement are:
1. A High Score System.(With an international scores board using an API, to see the best performing player worldwide).
2. Extra levels(currently only has level 1).
3. Since I used a player sheet for each individual player movement, some more actions are needed.
(Requires a bit of designing/animation).
3. Enemy character to challenge us in subsequent levels.(Already designed, will implement).
4. Share scores with friends(social media platforms).
5. More sounds.
6. In app purchases(weapons, cheat codes, avatar customizations)
