Showcase : Stick Man Trampoline


Stick Man Trampoline is a small game based off of Breakout and Pong.  I wanted to make a simple game with basic but fun gameplay, allowing me to focus on other aspects of the game design.  I wanted to have a small project to experiment with making a game Juicy, and multi-platform programming.

The game was made over a month using the Monogame framework.  All the art was done by myself (hence why it's so simple), and the music was done by Eric Skiff (http://ericskiff.com/music/).

To make the game juicy, I tried to add animations to everything.  The player and trampoline are animated with satisfying jiggles and wiggles, and I made each level have a small animated portion (whether bubble particles or a shining sun).

The game currently compiles to Windows, Windows 8 and Windows Phone (though the current version of Windows Phone is having issues I haven't solved yet).  I wanted to build to Android and iOS as well, but that requires Xamarin which I don't have a license for.

As of the current writing of this, Stick Man Trampoline is released on the Windows 8 App Store, with over 10 000 downloads and a 4.2 star rating.  It can be found here:

  1. Garret gives his opinion,

    Very well input with a short video footage. Its my pleasure that I've stopped by here and come to know about Stick Man Trampoline and I'm happy since I did not know much more about Stick Man Trampoline before read this concept but the allocation you did here makes me knowable about this issue. Thanks :)

  2. The following amusement is the split egg on the trampoline; it will be made out of 1-3 players or additionally relying upon the span of the trampoline. Every player has an egg and each player takes a seat on the trampoline and holds in their knees. scoopquest
