This Wombat-Poop game is a silly idea I had based on my love of platformer games and my infatuation with wombats, an Australian marsupial. In nature, wombats poop out cubes, and as cubes are a naturally occurring element in many platformers, I had thought that it would be cute to make a game where the wombat character must poop out his own platforms to traverse the level.

​

I only got as far as creating an animated sprite and coding basic movements, as seen by the demo below. The grass-eating and poop mechanics are there, but in a rough state.

​

Eventually I was going to add different kinds of foods (hot peppers, mushrooms, etc.) that gave different platforming abilities such as a bomb poop to blow open cracked rock, or a 'balloon fart' to glide over obstacles.

​

In the end it became a lesson in basic C# and pixel art. I do hope to revisit this at some point, but for now please feel free to run around this tiny play space to see how the jumping and running feels!
