Could you build this?

Partial While basic 2D runner mechanics can be prototyped with AI, fine-tuned custom 2D character physics, bespoke hand-drawn sprite animation pipelines, and juicy game feel require specialized game design and animation skills.

What it would actually take: A production version would be built using Unity, Godot, or SpriteKit with custom C#/Swift physics tuning. The hard parts are the nuanced animation rigging (rotary gallop cycles, secondary spring motion for ears/tail) and hand-crafted arcade feel with frame-perfect input tolerances. This requires a dedicated technical game designer and 2D animator.
