🚲 Cycle

Making my first game

Preview of the game

❓ What is it?

Cycle is a frantic, button-mashing bicycle racing game where the only thing between you and your doom… is your keyboard stamina. 🥵

You’re being chased — but there’s no time to think. Just pedal. Mash your keys, outpace your fears, and maybe — just maybe — live to see another day on two wheels.

❤︎ Built With Love (and Godot)

This is my very first game project on GitHub, made with the open-source game engine Godot. I challenged myself to build something simple, fun, and a little chaotic for My First Game Jam: Summer 2023 — and Cycle was born!

  • 🤖 Engine: Godot 3.x
  • 🧱 Pixel Art + Dynamic Sound
  • 🕹️ Button-mashing core mechanic
  • 🟩 Enemies on wheels (box)

🧠 What I Learned

This project taught me a ton:

  • 🔧 How to structure a Godot project in Git
  • 🎮 Basics of animation, input handling, and game loops
  • 🎪 Exporting and publishing to Itch.io for the first time
