Howdy!
I'm a current Texas A&M student who loves Aggie traditions and culture, so I built a game inspired by our campus.

Here's the main menu did you recognize our own campus skyline?

I am sorry it seems picture is too small.. I don't know how I can make it bigger...



The first boss merges the spirit of the 12th Man with our First Lady, Reveille. It's based on the original Reveille (1932-1944), and I love that she was a mutt, not a purebred.


Check out the Western-style building in the background those signs are all real campus building names.


I'm still developing the game and would really appreciate any ideas or feedback!
The app is coming soon, but you can add the site to your home screen for a cute, app-like icon.




I am getting around 500-700 daily players worldwide, and I hope it's helping spread some Aggie spirit! It's purely a passion project with no revenue model in mind.


By the way, you can play at "poptigergame.com" on desktop or mobile or simply Google poptigergame.
Thanks for reading this long post!

Pretty awesome game. Played many times and tried all three characters.

Can't say I made it passed the first dillo but I don't feel bad because he's pretty tough.

Am I supposed to hold my phone tall or flat? Either way I couldn't see the whole game.

Never could figure out how to attack. No matter where I tapped the screen I jumped. Never could time my jump with that dastardly armadillo though.

Thank you for asking!!!

Sorry for the inconvenience. The game is designed for landscape mode, so you'll need to hold your phone horizontally to play. I wanted it to auto-rotate like a typical app, but since it's still a web page and not officially published, that isn't possible right now.

I think... Since it's running through a website, there are some limitations when it comes to controlling how user's phone behaves.

Could you try playing in landscape orientation? Tap the left side of the screen to jump, and tap the right side to attack.

and maximum 3 jump is possible!

you are my first feedback player! I will never forget.

oh additionally, could I know if your phone is iPhone (IOS) or Samsung (android)?

Thank you!

Is there a level where no matter how well you play, you'll lose and be disappointed? It's not a true Aggie game without it.

This definitely needs to be the backbone of the game.

Thank you for nice feed back!

I searched about it, and I found that Texas A&M has a record of 37 wins and 76 losses against UT. Adding a really tough stage referring to the UT austin team could make it feel even more like a true "Aggie game."

Thanks so much for the idea! lol

Sometimes I ask myself why I study or learn at all. Even if making a game isn't related to money or my career, if someone enjoys it, it will make me happyand being happy is what I live for. So in that sense, I think making games can be a good reason to learn to code.

At least for me!

If AI actually worked this well, that would be amazing.

I also used AI while developing my game, and honestly, it's driven me crazy many times.

Once the code gets longer and starts interacting across multiple files, AI completely loses the big picture and just starts spitting out nonsense.

It is just a simple game where you jump to avoid enemies and attack them....

Could I know which part was difficult to understand or problems when you play the game?

A few people pointed out since yesterday that the game is too difficult...

I bought season tickets with parking for life, then they expanded Kyle and took away my seats and parking.

(JK of course. GL with the game.)

LOL this absolutely cracked me up. You totally made my day.



Honestly, after getting mad at an AI, I realized that... maybe I have been that person to someone else before.

I have to reflect on myself

Thank you for leaving comment about game. I have been hearing a lot that the game is too hard, so I tried to play it myself.

Cuz.. I realized that...

Even though I spent all this time making the game, I never actually tried enjoying or playing it.

Like... even though I have lived whole my life but I never realized that I am alive.


Anyway, I gave it a shot, and it took me 20 tries just to beat Reveille.

I didn't expect the game I made to piss me off.

Right now, getting hit even once ends the game, but I'm working on allowing up to 3 hits.
Really appreciate your feedback!

I couldn't beat the game so I financed a new phone. Still was having difficulty with the game so I financed a second phone while still paying the previous one.

Not sure why, but a few days ago, my game started getting mentioned in some Korean communities.

A few people began posting about it and actually playing it.

Then they started calling it "easy stupid poop tiger game" because it was too easy to them

I don't know… Over here, people keep telling me the game's too hard, so I've been pushing updates to make it easier but on the other side of the earth, I am getting roasted for it being too easy lol.



Anyway, a lot of people have been playing the game recently. Tbh, during these past few days, I really felt like I live in a dream.


Thank you so much for all the love and attention!

I've played the game a few times, and honestly, it's a really decent one. You can tell a lot of care went into it, and it's the kind of simple but charming game that's easy to come back to for a few quick rounds. It's cool seeing a passion project get that many daily players too, that's no small thing, especially without any revenue model behind it. That said, I also really like trying new things in general, especially casual games I can jump into without much setup. Sometimes I'm in the mood for something original like this, other times I just want to mess around with different styles of games. That's why sites like https://freeslotshub.com/ are very useful for me. They let you play free online slot games just for fun, no downloads or sign-ups, and it's a nice way to explore different games and mechanics when you want something light and low-commitment.
