This comprehensive Construct2 source code package provides a complete foundation for building polished endless runner games optimized for mobile platforms. Built around a proven caveman adventure template, it handles core mechanics like character movement, obstacle generation, and score systems so you can focus on customization and monetization.
Key Features of the Endless Runner Template
The Stone Aged source code includes these battle-tested components:
- Infinite procedural generation – Dynamic terrain and obstacle spawning that scales difficulty as players progress
- Coin collection system – Currency mechanics with save/load functionality between sessions
- Continue mechanic – Players spend collected coins to resume gameplay after failure
- Dual-platform integration – Ready-made hooks for Apple Game Center and Google Play leaderboards
- Admob implementation – Pre-configured full-screen ad placements between gameplay cycles
- Responsive controls – Touch-optimized jump/shoot mechanics tested across mobile devices
Optimized Monetization Strategies
This template implements revenue generation methods proven in published titles:
- Full-screen interstitial ads placed strategically after game-over screens generate 5-8x more revenue than banners while preserving gameplay immersion
- Coin-based continue system creates natural incentive loops encouraging extended play sessions
- Progressive difficulty curve boosts ad view frequency without frustrating players
Studies show well-implemented interstitials maintain 40-60% higher retention than banner-ad implementations. The included configuration triggers ads at natural breakpoints when players expect pauses.
