Day 11

The jam was extended by 1 day, so I really finished the game with a boss fight 🛸💥

  • Learned some new PICO-8 token optimisation techniques, reclaimed 159 tokens
  • Add a Boss Fight
  • Changed objective order in Zone 3 so there are no longer 4 objectives in a row that don’t use weapons, thanks for the feedback Roger.
  • Increased time limit for Use the Force by 3 seconds, thanks for the feedback McPhail.
  • Prevented aliens from shooting you when they are about to go off the bottom of the screen
  • Silver and Sapphire now aim at the players with some random skew.
  • Made Window Title camel case

Here are a couple of clips of the boss fight in action:
