Barrel Blast! 🦍Build Your Own Donkey Kong-Style Game

🎮 What We're Building

A climbing arcade game inspired by the original Donkey Kong! Your hero climbs girder platforms and ladders, dodges barrels rolling down from the top, and reaches the goal to win.

🧒 For the Child

Have you ever seen old arcade games? Donkey Kong was one of the very FIRST! A big gorilla at the top throws barrels and your little hero has to dodge them and climb up. We're going to make our own version with our own characters!

👨‍👩‍👧 For the Grown-Up

This is Episode 3 of My First Video Game. It builds on Jump Jump's gravity and CharacterBody2D patterns, adding new concepts: ladder climbing (disabling gravity on overlap), AnimatableBody2D for rolling barrels, a Timer node for barrel spawning, and a simple thrower AI. No prior episodes required.

✨ What You'll Make

• A hero who runs and jumps
• Girder platforms to stand on
• Ladders to climb up and down
• A big boss at the top who throws barrels
• Barrels that roll and fall down
• A win condition when you reach the top
• A score that counts how long you survive
• Your very own arcade level!
