GAME

Little Runmo - The Game, is a 2D platformer game originating from an animated Youtube film called "Little Runmo" made by the creator Gooseworx. The Story revolves around a fictional videogame character trying to survive with his last life.

The gameplay of Little Runmo - The Game, is based on the video but also takes inspiration from the Super Mario games. For fans that come from the animation, the game is not a 1 to 1 replica of the animated film. I am not trying to make this a hardcore Meatboy-type game, I want to introduce challenging moments but I will try to make the difficulty curve as smooth as possible.

The early game will be pretty chill, just imagine how the Mario games were designed, then newer harder mechanics get slowly introduced. Big inspirations again were Mario World and Super Mario Bros Wii and also a fan-game called Mario 63.

DEVELOPMENT(NO NEW UPDATES)

February 2023 The Game is in development since August 2022. Back then I only worked on the assets and recreated everything that was seen in the actual animated film. Actual programming started roughly between December 2022 and January 2023, so that's how you know I'm still a programmer newbie, so please don’t expect something as big as Celeste or Hollow Knight. But don’t get your hopes up yet, I am learning with every passing week and trying to improve my skills, and I am trying the get the best out of this project with all of my available skills. I am also the only one working on the sprites, code, promotional stuff, and more.

June 2023 Since I published the first trailer of the game a lot of things happened, firstly multiple versions got released for people to play, and I worked on improving the main mechanics so the rest of the game will be as fun as possible.

Also, there is someone working on the music for the game, while I didn’t want to include anyone at first, I still had to make the decision to let someone be part of the project so he can make the music. I am not experienced enough, nor do I have the capabilities to recreate any of the original Runmo soundtracks. That's why Rodirod is now part of the team. I am currently still polishing and working on mechanics.

September 2023 Well, now it is September and it's the final stage of the development of this game, I am putting the whole game together and making it functional, so that things like the live/collectible system, level transitions, background music, and other stuff work, so in the final build it can be played like an actual game.

The game is rather small, think of something like Super Mario Bros on the NES, and even then, it's smaller than that one since it has fewer levels, to compensate I made them way longer, and also I tried to add enough checkpoints for accessibility since the game has a younger audience.

30. October 2023 So, this is the end of it. It was a fun journey! You might notice that it has been a month since the actual promised release date, and I am sorry for that. I talked about it on #Runlogs, in my Discord server. There u can see the whole development process of the game and more. Anyway, the game is out now and you can play it on Windows and on the Web if you have any other device like Mobile,Linux or Mac. Sadly I wasn't able to create specific versions for them, but the Web one will do... Have fun playing! I will be making small updates just in case there are any major bugs, but no new additions to the game! This is a final product.

5. November 2023 People asked for some updates since there are some slight issues like sprites being blacked out on the browser, this only happens on low-end devices, I tried to fix this but sadly I couldn't do anything about it, downloading the game instead would easily fix this.  If u know Godot, there is GLES3, someone on a forum said that switching to GLES2 would fix this, but it created some other problems for me so I had to switch back, and it didn't fix the main problem in the first place so it's still there. I can't do anything about it. The game has some slight problems now that are just gonna stay, it will be a problem for some, and for others, it's not gonna affect them, like the blacked-out bug, or that the game has no saving feature. Some played through the game really fast and didn't need it, and some took really long. All I can say for now is enjoy the game for what it is, u can share your opinion and feedback, but will not be working on this anymore, I fixed the main bugs that I could and this is the final final version. Take care!

i want to get off of mr. grobletumbus' wild ride

(+1)

adorable art, love runmo's face when they stick to walls or hit the floor after a big fall.

Would be nice if pikit gave actual advice or info, like the fact that the "special" is used while jumping... Besides that it isn't unforgiving, nice game, nice art, nice sound effects and music.

(+1)

fuck

try a different browser. or maybe ur system is just too old to be supported, I just know thats a thing, dk if thats true in ur case. cant think of anything else sadly ;((

i jumped on a danger and it killed me

nice game :D

(+1)

HOW DO U GET TO MEATBALL MAN OR EVEN DRINK THE KING

i like this game alot

thank you so much funny guy, I appreciate that fr😍

i wanna throw wrecking ball out the window but he will probrably do it to me first.

The hit box while taunting stays the same, it can lead to some funny situations 

He gets a little silly sometimes

İts an amazing game. I realy loved it. The pixel art and level design is pretty good.

Really impressive that someone remade the game as an actual game. The lack of teleport points is too annoying for me to finish but the mechanics are on point!

(+1)

Digital Circus person made this!

amazing!

Little Runmo breaks their canon event.

This is such an insanely fun and funny game, I got stuck in the first bit for ages because I just kept climbing the metal wall and splatting down because the sprite was so funny to me! 20/10 this is so so amazing

I would like a mobile port 

This is an incredible game. If it had more content I would be willing to pay $15-$20 for it, but even as it stands, it's definitely worth a couple dollars. The fact that it's on here for free is insane!

halp

Tiny little platformer - but very fun. I like it!

I like!

I got him stuck in the pipe...

(+1)

(-1)

(+1)

i jumped on a little danger and it killed both of us >:(

(+1)

i did not dowload the game, but i've runned the game on the itch.io page.. AND IT'S AMAZING! Might later dowload exe version to support you, and for saving progress lo

sadly progress isnt saved, lol. But there is a Quality of Life mod which lets u teleport to certain levels if u just wanna experience them again or skip stuff. You can find it here with other mods

(-1)

How do you run?

(+1)

I've beaten the game ONCE and it took me 4 hours. What made it even harder was I was playing the speedrunner version which gives you super speed although I had infinite lives, the game is incredibly difficult but very addicting.

Hello, this is the first comment made by Challengemakingbot(TM), this bot solely exists to create fun(or hard if you have a skill issue)challenges  

1. Little Crippledmo: Never use the dive dash(spamming down + jump+ shift) unless necessary(such as the wreckingballs or meatball man, the grombletombus chase is beatable as you can just do jumping and then shift to gain a tiny ammount of distance). goal: beat the game any%

2. Hardcore Run(mo): die 3 times, leaving you with 0 lives, never pick up any lives, if you do, reset the run. lives achieved by 100 coins are allowed. goal: then beat the game any%

3. Runmo has Chrometophobia: Never pickup a single coin in the entire game. goal: beat the game any%

i cant get past the lava level :(


other then that i give this a 5 star

press up to interact, also HD mod doesnt exist, you got a lil confused there bud, its just a zip file with pictures, u probably shouldve just looked at whats inside of it. + its only the exe. file, stuff doesnt get saved anywhere.

Deleted 59 days ago

You cant do this in the base game, I dont know why ur asking this, its never stated anywhere that you can. You can mod the game tho, but you have to download the project file and godot. More instructions are on the modding section
