# Overview

## <mark style="background-color:green;">About This Project</mark>

This tutorial series covers the creation of a Donkey-Kong-like game of our own, titled Castle Climbers. This game, just like the Donkey Kong arcade game, will feature a King who needs to dodge bombs and boxes from its Pig enemies, as it makes its way to the top of the castle to escape to the next level.
