Crystal Island

2D Game Design

Introduction

Crystal Island is an interactive 2D gaming experience. Join the main character Sprout on his adventure through the island as he hops down the mountains on a timed race to the beach! The game consists of three levels, including collectibles and obstacles Sprout must navigate through. Players can use the keyboard or the Makey Makey.

Demo

Here is a demo video of the gameplay and the user interaction. On the keyboard, the arrow keys navigate Sprout and the space bar makes him jump.

If using the Makey Makey, users have the option to build their own controller using Model Magic! Each wire is connected to a specific key; the controls for Sprout are the same through the Makey Makey, except the users will be pressing their own buttons attached to the wires.

To use the Makey Makey, the user must ground themselves by holding the black wire during gameplay.
