Overview
Miley’s Adventure is a 2D Jump-n-Run game inspired by my dog Miley and her love for exploring the mountains. Players guide Miley through an adventurous landscape, jumping over tree trunks and ducking under birds to avoid obstacles. The game is designed to be simple, fun, and engaging, with upbeat music and motivating sound effects that encourage players to keep going.

Research
The game’s concept was inspired by observing my dog’s playful energy outdoors. I explored other Jump-n-Run games to understand their mechanics and pacing, adapting those ideas into a unique, character-driven experience.
Design
I first sketched and digitally illustrated the main character, backgrounds, and obstacles in Photoshop. Creating the spritesheets for jumping and ducking was a new but exciting experience, allowing Miley’s movements to feel lively and playful. I built the game in Visual Studio Code, combining visuals with sound effects and a counter that tracks avoided obstacles.
Results
The final game of Miley’s Adventure successfully captures the spirit of a playful mountain run. It combines hand-drawn visuals, simple controls, and motivating feedback into an accessible and enjoyable game. This project not only sharpened my illustration and coding skills but also showed me how design and programming can merge to create an interactive storytelling experience.
