The title screen sees the main character watch a sunset.

The first level is about bouncing on big sunflowers as the sun sets.

The second level takes place at night on the outside of an airship, and is centered around conveyor belts.

About the Project

Race The Stars is the first video game I ever made! It remains on this website as a reminder of where I began.

It's a 2D platformer made in Scratch for the 2019 Codecraft Innovation Games. It has 2 levels, my first ever sprites, and buggy collision as a result of using color-based collision. I fought past a lot of Scratch's little quirks to make things like the scrolling level work!

Programming Accomplishments

Built a 2D sidescrolling platformer system within Scratch that loads and deloads assets based on screen position
Built unique level mechanics and hazards for each level

Other Accomplishments

Created all spritework for the game, as well as the title theme
Designed levels to tell a story of running through the night to see the sunrise
