Super Bobby World 2

Pitch

22 years ago I made my first “real” game, Super Bobby World. It was a game that made you laugh, the main character had a severe limp for example.

It’s been 20+ years, and Bobby is now fat and not at all nimble. His knees hurt and he can’t jump very high…

What

Summer project (total time: 7 weeks, effective time ~4 weeks) together with my brother
Written in c++ (although mostly C-style).
Some basic functionality from SDL2, the rest (most) written from scratch
Integrated level editor

Early demo of integrated level editor

I am not a great level designer, so I designed more of a demo to show off the game capabilities. I think it’s pretty fun, although it’s very far from a full game. I need help from a proper level designer to finish this (and a lot of polish time).
