 More updates will be provided! I will notify you when a new version is released!
 
12th November, 2015:
Finally, I have started working on graphics portion of the game. The gameplay will be kept intact. That means no changes in the gameplay will be made. Again, I will only improve the graphics quality as far as practicable. I would like to show you a screenshot and this will help you know the quality of the game which I am developing. The simple graphics can often be upgraded to something like the one below:

I would like to compare the simple graphics with the latest graphics I have just created.

Before modification:
   
After Modification:
 However, this game has not been changed fully, since I have just started modifying the art. The objects will be changed to the highest possible quality.  
Stay Tuned Guys! More updates to be provided soon!

11th November, 2015:
According to the feedback of one of the member of a gaming community, I have decided to enhance the graphics quality with an unique and realistic look of the game. It will probably take 1 week to 1 month time for finishing the graphics work. Moreover, the price of the game will be increased a bit.

Thank you. More updates to be provided soon!  

9th November, 2015:
Finally, the game has been released on my website and on itch.io. Now my task is to spread the word out about my game to the public. 
You can download freeware version and buy full version here:  http://www.amaxang-games.com/2015/11/captain-runner-full-version-endless.html

Unfortunately, the web version(HTML5 version) is not working as expected. So, I had to abandon the idea of releasing it for web.  Nevertheless, this game is still playable on PC Windows(both 32 and 64 bit).

Enjoy! 
 
4th November, 2015:
Finally, the game is nearly ready. There will be 5 different custom scenarios to play. I hope to finish it as soon as I can. This game will be available for HTML5 web and for PC-Windows. I have finally modified the title and made it simpler but it looks great!

Before Modification, the game title looks like this:
After modification, and after adding some light and shade, it looks like the image given below. I am quite impressed by the result. However, I don't know how you guys will look at it.
There will be more to go. It will take a few more days to finish the game project. Testing the game will begin after a few days.
Thank you. More updates will soon be provided!

I have done a lot of graphics work today. It will take some time to create all the graphics work. However, I want to show what I have done till. This level is still not playable but you can at least take  a look at the screenshot below:
This game has been made as simple as possible without much complication. I will release HTML5 web version of the game and It will be played in almost any device.

More updates to be provided as the development continues!

31st October, 2015:
Hi everyone,
I have started developing a new very small game called Captain - The Runner based on retro graphics about 2 weeks ago. This is my first HTML5 game which I am currently developing for everyone! This game will be released for PC Windows and Web. 

Here are some questions and answers which will give you the clear idea regarding this game.

1. What is Captain - The Runner?
I think you already know the answer. It is an endless running game where the player has to run and run before striking the objects. This is really a new challenging game where the player can secure highest score. Here the name of the character is Captain and he have to run till he dies.

There is no such story in the game. This game is for time-killing and those who want to play and get addicted, they will love it. I am quite sure of that. I myself got addicted while testing the game and always secure more than 2000 score!

2. In which platform(s) will it be available?
This game will be available on PC-Windows(as always available) and also on HTML5(web version). From now on you can play freeware version for free online directly from my website. I will be hosting the games in my private servers.

3. Will it be free or will cost money? If so, what will be the price?
This game will be released in 3 versions!
-Web version: You can play freeware web version online.
-Freeware Downloadable version: You can download freeware game directly from my website.
-Premium or Commercial version: You can buy Premium version containing extra features!

The Premium version will be available for $2.50 or $2.00. 

4. In which engine are you making this game? Please let us know if you don't mind.

I have seen that some developers hide the fact how they develop the game or which engine they use to create the games. But I have nothing to hide really! I always try to be as transperant as possible
Frankly speaking, I have used Game Maker : Studio to develop this game. Graphics work are all done by me and even the game title. All the works are done by me. But music are developed by musicians like Jason Shaw and others mentioned in Game Credits. I know some Unity Developers will make the fun out of Game Maker Studio. But I personally think that this tool is capable of making commercial quality games if used right. This game might look like an old school game based on retro graphics. But trust me, you will have fun playing the game.
