This was my second game that I made using the LibGDX framework, I originally jumped right into Pong which don’t get me wrong, worked but seemed terrible so I decided to go back to basics and actually do something simple. So here we have it, falling rocks.
You play a cave explorer called Jim, after falling into a trench and upsetting the natural balance of the cave, you soon realise that you have caused a landslide of rocks and gems. Avoid the rocks and collect the gems, don’t let Jim get crushed by too many rocks!
Although this game is getting very little attention, I am aware that it is just a reinvention of the wheel but going back to my first ever game and re-writing it with everything I’ve learned, has helped me learn so much more. As I work on other projects I will continue to add and mess with this so enjoy the updates.

The source code should be visible, new to bitbucket. The code is pretty poor, it was written a month into me learning Java (6 or so month ago) Should look better as I refactor and add the changes.
