Avoid the Spikes - Android Arcade Game

Avoid the Spikes is an Android Arcade game template. It was inspired by ‘Don’t Touch The Spikes’ and ‘Bird Climb’ but its totally different from both! The aim of the player is to help the bird move up, while avoiding the spikes/obstacles. The code is written in java, using Android Studio. A video tutorial is included which explains the customization process. This is an Android Studio Project.
