Dragged into the digital world of video games.
A kid must fight his way through waves of enemies
with his powered sneakers.

I started this project in 2011, slowly working on it in my spare time. Now I'm dedicated full-time to finishing it. I'm working on single screen scenes with enemy waves, similar to Curses 'N Chaos, but would like to expand the game with more traditional platform levels in the future. The game has similarities with Downwell and an unusual control scheme similar to Flappy Bird, as weird as that sounds Note that, even though I'm inspired by those games, they didn't exist when I started this project so I strive to make Super Console Kid it's own original game.

I make video diaries to document the game's progress.
Here's the latest entry:

Excellent style in the colors and characters and special effects (basically everything)

You've managed to capture that old-school feel while keeping things fresh at the same time. Looks and sounds great!

Looks great!  I really like the keep-off-the-ground element of it.

This is looking even better than the last time I saw it on Youtube

This looks so cool and fun! And it'll be even cooler now that you get to work on it full-time :D

It's been a while. I've been steadily working on the game.
I've changed direction a bit. Instead of just enemy arenas, the game is now a full-fledged high speed platformer with scrolling levels with an emphasis on managing your jump energy, maintaning your combo, and collecting "bits".
Here's some of the most important things I've been working on:

• Vertical scrolling levels
• New dynamic camera
• New HUD
• Improved sprites
• New collectible coins (called bits in game)
• Interactive elements on the title screen
• Fully configurable controls for keyboard and gamepad
• Language options (English & Spanish with more being added)
• New intro animation
