A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

A Java-based 2D game developed within a strict time frame for a university coding challenge. The project focuses on implementing a custom physics engine (gravity and velocity simulation) and object-oriented rendering using the GraphicsApp library.
Due to limited development time, the implementation is incomplete. The start screen, end screen, and column rendering have not yet been implemented.
