Loved the pixelated artstyle! controls were also decent and the potion ability concepts were very good! Great experience!
Super nice art style with this game - I love basic abilities being tied to timed potions really makes you plan ahead. Good job!
I loved the game, the sound effects are really good, and the art is beautiful. The game mechanics are very interesting.
Great game with beautiful spritework! it might be a bit morbid but, I love the idea of unlocking abilities by poisoning yourself, it forces you to plan ahead, great stuff!
the game is very fun and addictive. some feedback, as a solo developer too, when making a game, make it feel easy to you so that for other people the game is not too hard but is still challenging(I only got so far into the game). overall, fun and creative game.
I really liked the game's idea, it's a mixture of a puzzle and platformer type game. You would have to pause and really think about your next moves and then execute flawlessly to make it work. It would need some balancing but it was very fun!
Tough game, but I really enjoyed the "trial and error" loop of figuring out the best path to stay alive. Would love to see that post-jam version!

Nice platformer.
I found some of the platforming a bit frustrating needing to get in the correct position to make a jump before the poison either killed you or expired. Died a few times just because as I was finding the right spot, I'd fall off the edge, the poison would expire and I would need more poison.
Thanks for making it.
This is my first time seeing a game made with pico-8. After looking at how cool this game is, I might try making a project with it for my next jam
You definitelly should try it... this is first time I did Pico-8 game myself, and I love it. Also I have started with Pico-8 just 1 week before this jam, so the learning curve is really steep. It is bit different work then with othe engines like Godot/Unity, but I would recommend this everyone to try it!
Really love the art style, probably my favorite "finish the game while poisoned" game so far. Font can be kinda hard to read, in the beginng it looks like it says to press "o", but really means "z"
