Raccoon! RUN RUN RUN is a 2D platform game about a raccoon who is addicted to marshmallows and runs through the city to collect marshmallows to satisfy his cravings. The objective is jumping to avoid all the barriers and obstacles on the way and collect enough marshmallows to open the next level.

To play the game you will need 3 keys — left/right arrow keys(moving) and space(jumping).

At the current state the game works pretty well, but, of course, it is not perfect. There are still known problems with smoothness of the moves and jumps. Jumping is also not calibrated well enough yet. Some scripts need to be reconsidered and possibly rewritten. And maybe some of these changes won’t be noticed by the players, but it will make the game look cleaner and feel more satisfying. Rewriting the scripts will also improve flexibility for future changes and improvements.

I would say it has been an interesting experience of going through different stages of the development. There was an alpha version that seemed like a game at the first glance, but had many big problems like infinite jumps or wrong camera movement. It did not have any levels in it, and the soundtrack did not match the mood of the game.

Overall, I enjoyed this journey. And it seems like it is not the end, and the game will get another update that will make it even better.
