Diploma Dash

Diploma Dash is a fast-paced platformer game made by Amoriem Labs in the school year 2023-2024. You are a Yale college senior who has unwisely decided to major in every discipline and needs to rush his last week of classes to finish all his course requirements. Collect all your assignments and make it to the end in order to graduate on time!

Development for Diploma Dash has stopped and the current downloadable version is only a demo of the full game concept.

Disclaimer: image-generative AI was used for creating the title screen and grading screen in the game, but only for these parts.

GOAL

Collect all three assignments and make it to the end of the level before the time runs out! Dodge birds, vines, cacti, and acorns to prevent losing time.

CONTROLS

• A+D or LeftArrow+RightArrow keys to move
• Space/W/UpArrow to jump
• S/DownArrow to crouch
• Z to sprint
• X to dash
• C to activate shield (prevents damage from birds/vines/cacti/acorns)
• You can wall jump, wall climb, and wall slide in the game.

INSTRUCTIONS

To download the game:

• If you have a Windows, unzip the Windows build and run "Echoes of Eternity.exe". If you drag this file outside the unzipped folder, the game will not work.
• Your machine may initially say that the executable file is unrecognized and give a warning. Do not fear - this is normal and is always thrown whenever a new file is downloaded that hasn't been verified by Microsoft or Apple for at least a year (even big companies take a long time to establish their app to not have to go through this warning screen). Simply press any ignore or override button on the warning popup and anything akin to "Run anyways" to launch the game.
• The game is only keyboard-supported.
