Hare Hurry: Easter Rival

Become the Easter Bunny. Win her heart. But you'd better hurry. ⏳

You're the youngest hare in the valley, and your heart beats for one bunny only: Lila. 💕 But Lila is waiting for a single hare, the new Easter Bunny. To win her, you must dethrone the old Easter Bunny and claim his crown for yourself. Nine trials stand between you and the love of your life, and your rival is right on your tail the whole way. 🥕

This is the fully rebuilt, massively expanded version of the original Hare Hurry, scaled up from around 500 lines of code to nearly 7000, with brand new levels, mechanics, music, story, and a complete visual overhaul. 🚀


🗺️ Explore the Lobby

Walk your hare freely around the lobby with arrow keys or WASD. Stroll up to numbered signposts and press E to enter levels, the shop, settings, or credits. Completed levels show a golden star, locked ones a padlock.

⏳ The Rival Timer

A constantly ticking bar that fills with time. When it's full, your rival beats you and the level is lost. Most levels give you about 45 seconds, the boss a full 1:30. In the first two levels the rival also physically hunts you across the field, speeding up as time runs out. 🏃💨

🎵 Music & Sound

🎶 Two original chiptune tracks to choose from: Spring Hop (bright and upbeat) and Moonlit (calm and mellow), plus sound effects for menus, hits, cages, jumps, the time freeze and more. Separate volume sliders for music and SFX.

📖 Full Story Presentation

A prologue, an animated intro cutscene showing the hero, Lila on her cloud, and the crowned old Easter Bunny together, custom story intros before every level, a victory screen, and a scrolling credits sequence. Story text flows in a sliding window so it never overflows. 💬
