Show HN: Rudolph Runner

After playing a while the game induces hallucinations, especially after a good run where you stare at it for a long time.

Sometimes items generate too close together to successfully jump them.

This would be a cool one to port to Scratch and add to the Code Club syllabus: <a href="http://projects.codeclub.org.uk" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;projects.codeclub.org.uk</a> I would guess it’s pretty doable in Scratch.

I cannot even jump on the smallest obstacle (bug?), but I live edited the code and set the jump dy to -200 and I am in the air for over 2 minutes. Other than that, nice game.

Reminds me of the Impossible Game [0]. Very similar game mechanics, just missing platforms that can be landed on. (Or, at least, I didn&#x27;t get far enough to see them).<p>[0] <a href="http://www.flukedude.com/theimpossiblegame/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.flukedude.com&#x2F;theimpossiblegame&#x2F;</a>

This is what inspires me to continue learning more about programming, anyone else feel the same way?

The art is great, but this is another example showing that javascript games just don&#x27;t work that well, like not even close to old flash games.

Sometimes when I hold down space the reindeer jumps reliably and sometimes it just doesn&#x27;t... needs to be perfect in order for high scores.

Brings back old memories of Moon Patrol. Thanks!

I like the game for an open-source project, but as a serious project, it&#x27;s not very difficult to program otherwise(no pun intended).<p>Not sure if anyone knows, but the game is very, very similar to the Google Chrome Unable to Connect to the Internet game.<p>For those who don&#x27;t know about the game, disconnect from Internet, open google chrome, hit any webpage, and once you see the &quot;Unable to Connect&quot; Dino, just hit the &quot;up&quot; arrow on your keyboard for hours of fun...

This is lots of fun to play. My one Christmas wish would be to have power-ups that can make Rudolph fly.

Works on mobile, tap = spacebar, although the visuals sometimes lag, ending your run. (On an iphone)

Inspired by Google Chrome&#x27;s hidden game with dinosaur? :) Same control, same layout.

Addictive. A little on the difficult side but very fun. Great job!

Pro-tip: holding down spacebar doesn&#x27;t get you very far.

Frustrating.

alternating between spacebar and up arrow is helpful to not trigger double jumps.

too addictive :-)
