The Social Distance Game
A downloadable game
Inspired by the COVID-19 pandemic, you're playing as Ghostie who's trying to avoid bumping into pedestrians. Got to maintain a healthy social distance of course!
This is my first game for the Arduboy - and Arduino based handheld console! If you got one, you can upload the .hex file. If you don't, no problem! You can play it on this online emulator:
Controls
- D-PAD: Movement
- A/B - Pause (Z/X in online emulator)
Source Code

I also wrote a blog post reflecting on my experience here: https://msanatan.com/blog/2020/04/13/my-first-arduboy-game-the-social-distance-game
Be Safe!
While the basic premise came from the COVID-19 pandemic, this game is in no way trying to make slight of the situation. Practice social distancing, wash your hands regularly + maintain good hygiene. The sooner you play your part, the sooner we overcome. Please be safe out there!
