Good concept! Well done!
Loved the pixelated artstyle! controls were also decent and the potion ability concepts were very good! Great experience!
Thanks a lot. I hope I'll be able to expand that concept in the future, at least a little
very good.

Super nice art style with this game - I love basic abilities being tied to timed potions really makes you plan ahead. Good job!
Thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed this little idea :)
I liked the visual, sounds and implementation of the jam theme.
Thank you
I loved the game, the sound effects are really good, and the art is beautiful. The game mechanics are very interesting.
THank you for such a kind words! Really appreciate it
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!
Thanks a bunch!!
the game and concept was too good
THank you!
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.
You are totally right, but due to time constraint I was not able to get in more levels, so I had to go with bit harder path, to provide at least some challenge ;) Thanks a lot for feedback!
no problem, having to make a game within seven days can get very stressful.
Indeed :) Especially the ending is stressful when you try to finish and wrap up everything... but I like these 7 days long ones, still gives you bit more space... not like Ludum Dare where you have just 2 days :D (although I still love that event)
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!
Balance would be good for sure, but unfortunatelly I struggled a bit to squeeze in more content as my time was quite limited... that is why the game is bit harder than I would like, as I needed to provide at least some challenge to the player. THanks a lot for feedback and your time with the game
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!

There will be definitelly some update, however can' t promise how big :) Thanks a lot for playing and such a nice words
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.
Thanks for playing! Yeah, since I was working with Pico-8 just for 2 weeks, I had to rush it a little, so there was no time to make more level, so the difficultu curve is bit steep, otherwise, people would fly thru it in a minute :)
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"
Thanks a lot for such a kind words! Well since it is completelly done in Pico-8 I am afraid I can't do much with the font... and it actually says "x" :D
Ohhh, had no idea. Sorry about that! Yeah, X rather than Z*
no worries ;) Thx again for playing, will check yours as well ;)
