School Run

About School Run Android Game

School Run is the first attempt at developing our first game (as a family team). The game revolves around 2 main characters trying to get to school before 8am. The character approaching the school from the West, Nura, is tall, fast and can instinctively avoid stones due to his long strides. The character approaching the school from the East, Zaid, is slightly slower due to his small build but doesn’t have to worry about colliding with a high branch when he jumps. The player’s objective is to try and get at least one of them to school before 8am. Tap left-side of screen to make Nura jump and right-side of screen to make Zaid jump. Sounds easy? Try and see for yourself and let us know what you think of the game.

Tips:
- Nura is quite fast. Hence, he’s a long jumper which means you can jump over a low branch even when starting your jump from some distance away from the branch.
- Zaid isn’t tall enough to reach a high branch even when he jumps. Therefore, you can focus on only avoiding low branches and stones with Zaid.
- Don’t bother jumping over stones with Nura as he can instinctively avoid them with his long strides. In fact, stones are mostly decoy traps for Nura. They are mostly followed by high branches that will collide with Nura if he attempts to jump over the stones.
- Be careful however as not all low obstacles are harmless to Nura. Some special obstacles can trip even the longest of strides. So beware.
- Watch out for well hidden obstacles (especially in the bushes, grass or behind foreground objects).
- Pick up time machines on the way (they look like a clock) to wind time back; thereby giving yourself more running time. This will prove vital to reaching school before 8am as these naughty boys always wake up late.
