Lets Code "Hop to the Top!" in

It's coming to the time of year for eating lots of chocolate eggs, so I thought, let's make a game.
I wanted this to be a platform game about rabbits and chocolate eggs, and controlled by a joystick or keyboard.
I couldn't think of a title either, but with the help of ChatGPT, Hop to the Top was created!
Slightly creaky voice, but then it is the time of year for colds and flus!

👉 This tutorial and game covers the following:
• Double Buffering / Screen Swap
• Tile-Based Game Engine
• Smooth Vertical Scrolling
• Sprite Animation including AMAL (Amos Animation Language)
• Joystick and Keyboard Input
• Background Rainbow Effects (COPPER)
• Sound Samples
• Game Music

⇩ You can download the full game (both Amiga executable and source code) here:
