Endless Runner - Game Template
Create endless running games. Draw a handful of reusable pieces of track and the game builds a different level out of them every time it is played.
This game template allows you to create games like Canabalt, Subway Surfers and Chrome Dino.
Features
No programming required
Create endless running games without coding.
Reusable chunks of track
You never lay out a level. You draw chunks - short pieces of track with their own holes, obstacles and pickups - and the game stitches them together at random as the player runs. A dozen chunks is a game that never plays the same way twice.
Levels generated as they are played
Track is built ahead of the player and thrown away behind them, so a run can go on for ever. Each chunk says only where it leaves the ground, which is what lets any chunk follow any other.
A difficulty that grows with the run
Give each chunk a difficulty and a weight. The run only offers the easy ones at first and lets the harder ones out as the distance climbs, so the same set of pieces makes a gentle opening and a punishing middle.
Chunk editor
Drag out a run of ground in one gesture, then place what the player has to get past. It draws the arc of the jump at whatever speed you choose, shows the chunk tiled against itself so you can see it join up, and warns you about the holes and edges that will play badly.
A run that keeps getting faster
Set the starting speed, the top speed and how quickly it climbs. Everything moves with it: the same gap gets easier to clear and the same obstacle gets harder to see coming.
Jump, double jump and slide
Jump over what is on the ground and slide under what hangs above it. Tune the jump, the double jump, and the coyote time and jump buffering that make a runner feel fair when a single mistake ends the whole run.
Any number of runs
A run holds no layout at all - only the rules the track is generated from. Two runs built from exactly the same chunks can feel completely different, and fixing a run's seed turns it into a fixed course that can be learned and beaten.
Sounds
Sound effects for jumping, sliding, trampolines, coins and power-ups, every milestone, a new best distance, crashing and falling, generated as the game is played. Choose their style, volume and pitch, and which events make a sound.
