First post!


A few months ago, I crashed my Segway scooter into a storm ditch. I had fractured my hip in multiple places and spent the next several weeks recovering. Today, two months later, I am able to move around pretty well and day-to-day life is starting to get back to normal.

In the early days of my revocery, when I could not spend a ton of time vertical, I started working on a game. I wanted to make something that would memorialize my experience and give me an opportunity to laugh at what had happened. Scooter Scramble is a game about riding a scooter. Your character is pretty fragile - as I was. The game asks you to avoid obstacles and pedestrians as you ride around. I tried to capture how nerve racking and dangerous rudung on one of these can sometimes feel.

The game is currently in development. I occasionally go back to it on the weekends and have plans to add additional levels and features as I can.

What currently works

  • View high scores that are read from save memory
  • start a new game and play the first level
  • collide with something and break your hip

Known issues

  • Pausing the level causes pedestrians to reset to their starting location rather than saving their position
  • Sometimes, the collision animation does not play properly

Plans for future versions...

  • Update current high scores when you get enough points
  • Add new pedestrains, animals, and obstacles
    • cyclists
    • birds
    • rocks and sand
    • golf carts
  • Add additional levels
    • (possibly randomly selected or procedurally generated?)
