Since the early 1970s, video games have managed to trigger an appeal in their users that goes far beyond pure entertainment. The fusion of interactive elements, creative design and captivating narratives creates immersive worlds that immerse players in unique experiences. But what are the concepts that combine to create a high-quality gaming experience and make a video game and its genre popular with its users?
JungleRush arose from the endeavour to apply theoretical approaches to game design, especially from the arcade game genre, in practice and thus transform them into a real gaming experience.

To do this, it is particularly worth looking at the early history of game development in order to recognise the basic characteristics of a genre and understand why these can be transferred just as well to modern games of today.

The result of the project is a 2D video game that transports players into a retro pixel-art style jungle world where they have to face the typical challenges of the arcade game genre. Speed, precision and timing are essential to be successful.
