Cart Canines

Cart Canines is a 2D side-scrolling, endless runner Battle of the Breeds flash game. It was the first ever Battle of the Breeds game made. It released on Newgrounds on September 5, 2020. 
==Backstory==
Playing hide and seek with his brother Ryan, Max ran into a cave as a hiding place and found a minecart. He showed it to his brother who got in the minecart, thinking it's a toy. All of a sudden, the minecart extended its legs up into the sky, sprouted wheels and starting driving in circles. Max learned to control it and decided to take it for a joyride across Woodfur. 
==Gameplay==
You control Max and Ryan in a minecart that can move up and down in an endless grassy hill. You collect bones and power-ups while dodging enemies, such as bats, killer plants, rocks and icicles. 
You collect colored bones scattered across the game. When you collect a certain amount of bones, you level up. Each time you level up, you get faster and the game gets harder. 
You have 3 lives when you start, and each time you take a hit, you lose a life. You get get more lives by finding 1-ups scattered all over the ground. Lose all your lives and the game is over. 
Your highscore is shown on the game over screen. 
==Controls==
Move your mouse up and down to control the minecart.
