Ranger Rush

How to play:

Download the ZIP file, unzip it, and run the rangerrush.exe file. Use arrow keys to move around. Try not to get trampled or shot! Read the COMPILING INSTRUCTIONS file if you want to compile the Assembly code yourself. Reach out to me if anything goes wrong; I'm happy to help.

Info about me:

Hi there! I am 16 and have been coding small games for years, but I have never really finished a project (you know the struggle). But alas I have finally made a finished product (with plans to add more features and fix bugs in the future).

For years I had coded in every major coding language but never Assembly. About a month ago I decided to try my hand at it. Because this project was coded entirely in Assembly (with a few helper functions in C), it taught me a lot about how computers work and how to problem solve with limited tools.

Info about the game:

In short, this game is cowboy crossy road. I chose this theme because I thought a crossy road/frogger themed game would be easy enough to code but still a challenge, and the cowboy part is just because I love cowboys. I was just doodling cartoon cowboys during lunch when I had the idea.

I have plans to add a bit of a plot into the game (and maybe a cutscene), but for now the main thing you have to do is survive and run away from the Bucktooth Bronco and his men. Pretty soon I will add a local leaderboard so you can save your score on your computer and see your previous attempts.

Additional Notes:

If you try to press the 'Settings' button or 'Add score to leaderboard' button, nothing will happen. I will add functionality to these buttons soon though.

Also I've never used itch.io before, and I'm not sure if the .exe I compiled will work on all platforms. I'm on Windows by the way. So if the game doesn't work please contact me so I can recompile and fix it.
