Gold Rush is a platform game consisting of 8 levels, telling the story of a young cowboy during the gold rush era. The main character travels through different levels, collecting gold nuggets while avoiding obstacles and fighting various types of enemies.

The game was inspired by classic retro titles such as Super Mario Bros and Prehistorik. The project was created in my free time to learn and explore the mechanics of the Phaser.js library. The first releases of the game date back to 2015, when the current version of the Phaser library was 2.x. I also created my own engine beforehand, but unfortunately, it fell far short of the level of performance offered by the Phaser library. Finally, I decided to implement the game into the Cordova.js library and put the game in the Google Play Store. The storyline, world design, part of the graphics, and the guitar-based soundtrack were created by me. Sound effects were taken from publicly available libraries with open licenses. Some of the sprites were created by me, while others are used under purchased licenses.
