Important

The last version of the file (14 May 2014) needs Corona 2014.2189 to work properly.

Description

This is a fully customizable template for an “Endless runner” style game, developed using Corona SDK. Works on both iOS devices and Android!

The game features randomly generated obstacles (4 different), platforms, and stars to collect

The longer the player runs, the faster the platforms will move. Points are increased in 2 ways: running and collecting stars. We also included Ads with AdMob, you can change them to whatever you like (admob, etc…) as long as they are supported by Corona SDK

A lot of aspects can be easily customized in a easy to understand config file:

• Name of the company/dev in the credits
• Star spawning frequency
• Points given by each collected star
• Player jumping height
• Ad ON/OFF
• AdMob account
• Facebook app ID

The rest of the code is well commented, should not be a problem to change any other aspect not in the config. Included in the release:

• Game source for Corona SDK (.lua)
• Character spritesheet made with texturepacker
• Background music!
• A cool sound effect when you collect the stars
• Anything else you might need

The whole game can be compiled and published with the free edition of Corona SDK, no need to use a paid licence. Click on live Preview for a video of the game!

Here is a demo apk for Android: Endless Runner Demo – Android
