As I put on my headphones and run, the city's rooftops are my escape. Here, there's no room for anxiety or fear, only the exhilarating freedom of each leap and stride. EverStride is a 2D endless runner emphasizing a simple yet addicting gameplay loop of jumping, lo-fi beats, and a serene cityscape. EverStride is my first game, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did creating it. When I started making EverStride, I looked for what I found engaging in a mobile game and built upon that. I liked the idea of calming lo-fi music mixed with a simple yet addicting gameplay loop of jumping. EverStride features: -Easy mode—built directly into the game-over UI and settings menu. Easy mode slows down the game and limits the amount of obstacles. -Standard and easy mode leaderboards. -Statistic tracking for the number of runs, total distance ran, and the total amount of obstacles hit. -Three colorblind modes—protanopia, deuteranopia, and tritanopia. -Support for 15 languages: English, Arabic, Chinese (Simplified), Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Spanish, German, French, and Hindi. -Ability to turn off camera shake and haptics, mute all sounds, and adjust music sound level. -Three additional unlockable scenes. Are you ready to embark on the ultimate rooftop run?
