I made a game for our wedding-website. The player has to control her and me simultaneously. It's pretty short, though. I did everything myself, graphics, music, gameplay.

A funny anecdote: Some years ago, a person asked me if it would be ok to modify the game for the wedding for his friend. They wanted to play it at their wedding as a joke. At first I didn't know what to say, but then he told me he already downloaded it and modified all the animation-spritesheets by hand, to match the look of the couple. He must have spent hours on this. I thought that was so cute that I gladly allowed him to do whatever he wanted with this. I even offered him to re-export the animations, but he already was done by then.

That game is really good! I'm not a gamer but I really enjoyed it. Took me a minute to figure it out but then I had fun.

Is the source open?

The source is open (https://10-5.de/game/c2runtime.js, seems to be built with the framework "Construct" so you'd have to find the actual game logic in there) but it doesn't seem to be open source so don't go copy-paste it willynilly.
It’s great seeing our game engine pop up in posts like this!
Thanks for making it!

In case somebody is wondering: The game was made with Scirra's "Construct 2", which is a great 2D game-maker. You can immediately try it (the current version 3) in the browser on https://www.construct.net/en/make-games/free-trial

I'm a hobbyist, and usually use Construct, Phaser or vanilla JS.

I have put the source-file on https://github.com/niorad/Ninio, you'll need Construct 2 or 3 to open it, though (paid version I think).

Tom, please allow me to say thanks for your work! As front-end-dev, I'm stunned by having C3 in the browser. I would highly enjoy reading about its software-architecture and approaches one day, especially since it's not based on any of the big front-end-frameworks.

Props to you, that’s a fun game, even on mobile. I’m guessing the wife must’ve loved it.
Just played- super fun! Really cute idea for a wedding website, no wonder your buddy wanted to borrow your idea!
This gameplay is brilliant! It gets super hard when they have totally different obstacles and I love it.
Reminds me of this game mechanic which is more fun to play than it is to watch:

This is great, I loved it
