OrdieRun

OrdieRun is a horizontal shoot-em-up rendered entirely in ASCII/Unicode characters, built from scratch for a game jam.

Fly through procedurally generated levels, dodge enemies, collect coins, survive checkpoints, and push your score as far as you can.

Built on a custom C# engine (EGE) — no Unity, no Godot, just raw console rendering and handcrafted systems.

Features

• Fully procedural level generation
• Enemies, mines, turrets, and tentacles
• Checkpoint system with score tracking
• High score table
• Procedural audio synthesis
• ASCII/Unicode rendering — no sprites, no textures

Note: This game requires a monospaced font to display correctly. DejaVuSansMono is included in the installer.
