Isometric Cycling

HyperCasual Arcade Game where you play as a cyclist stroll around coastal road collecting coins and avoiding road obstacles. The game is used for virtual competition in a period of time in 2021 through online leaderboard.

This project is created using Cocos2D.js and is one of the most challenging one due to it's isometric aspect of it and cocos engine has less support for 2.5D game using 2D graphics. The game is created in around 2 weeks with me as a programmer and my artist.

  

  

• Isometric System. Come up with an efficient, performant and flawless isometric system through trial and error over several hours, perfected in a several days. Since cosos itself has less support for 2.5D features using 2D Graphics ( you can use 3D model and move it isometrically of course, but it would exponentially less performant ) i have to lead the team to create assets that corresponds to the custom system. It's quite challenging but we made it through !!

• Isometric Scrolling System. We have manage to successfully implemented an efficient and performant custom isometric scrolling system for Cocos2D.js. Unlike unity which have a variety of option to do it, we have to come up with a custom way to do it in cocos.

• Isometric Spawning. Managed to create an appropriate spawning system for isometric environments. Adjusting spawning position and or movement of the object inside the environment.

• Power Up System. We successfully made a powerup system in form of a Magnetic Aura which draws coins to the cyclist in a certain radius.

• Incremental Progressing System. We made an incremental speed system to add speed periodically to increase difficulty as game progresses.

• Online Leaderboard System. We have successfully implemented online leaderboard where players can compete with each others through scores. The game will record the score and automatically sort the score when called. At demo ( not production ) this system is turned off.

• Optimization. We have successfully optimized the game so it will run 50 - 60 fps in chrome PC and mobile. Even though there is so many object present at once in the scene, we make it so it won't impact the performance or even the device.

The game was initially intended for online competition.
