2D vídeo game: Michin´s Adventure y Bunny’s Adventure based on the stories of Rafael Pombo

Abstract

The project consists of a two-dimensional game inspired by the children’s stories El Gato Bandido and El Conejo Aventurero by Rafael Pombo. Developed with Unity, Photoshop, and C#, it stands out for the comprehensive creation of the code from scratch, using online tutorials as a guide. Consisting of 11 levels, where all levels are playable with 9 levels dedicated to the story and 2 dedicated to confrontations against the corresponding bosses of each of the stories. The game presents an interactive experience to learn these classic narratives in a playful way. The proposal offers a colorful and accessible environment that immerses players in the universe of Pombo’s iconic characters, such as “MICHÍN, the bandit cat” and “The adventurous rabbit.” Each level is configured as a unique and exciting adventure, adapted to the video game format. The main objective is to promote cognitive and motor development in young people, combining entertainment and learning through interaction with the characters and solving challenges at different levels. The game is positioned as a teaching tool that stimulates reflection and logic. Keywords like “2D games,” “Unity,” “C#,” and “Photoshop” highlight essential elements of the project. 2D games are defined as those represented in two dimensions, while Unity, C# and Photoshop are the key technologies used in game development. With this proposal, we seek to provide young people with a unique and attractive educational experience through the combination of technology and classic stories.
