Pico games are so cute. Wasn't sure what I was doing, other than everything I walked up to killed me ;)
Yeah. It’s very cute
Had trouble getting it to start. Even after reading that the symbols were Z-X/C-V. Not sure why. I like the aesthetic a lot. And I see the start of some nice puzzles. It'd have been nice to have some type of chip-tune playing to complete the retro feel.
Thank you for your feedback and sorry for the inconveniences.
Have you tried to hit Z and X simultaneously ?
I eventually got it to work It's just that sometimes z+x didn't register. Neither did c+v. No real rhyme or reason. When I went to the controls page and hit those same keys, they'd light up in the UI so it looked like they were being registered correctly. IDK
What an amazing retro vibe!
I love that you even added a boot animation!
That's next-level attention to detail!
Your game is absolutely inspirational and I'm amazed by every aspect of it!
You should be so incredibly proud of this and I cannot wait to see what you'll create next!!!
Thanks. I’m happy that it pleased you.
The boot is made by Pico 8.
it is very unclear that every single props kills you. i guess this is the idea and how it connects to the theme because you are supposed to respawn again and again but ugh
Yeah. You got it.
Btw sorry for sort of being critique, after reading so many of the comments around this jam I feel like people aren't being enough constructive and just say "wow cool" on every game, even on my game which has severe problems, so I sort of went ahead and dirtied my hands with bad reviews to try and restore the balance 😵😵
Don’t be sorry. I appreciate honesty. And btw it’s only by pointing out what we do wrong that we can get better. So thank you.
Hey, a Pico game! :-) Nice retro vibes.
Thanks
I actually touched everything to see if it would kill me. Even the pigs are out to get me it seems haha. Short and simple, unbelievable that you were able to make it in 6 hours and 40 mins! Amazing work!
Thank you
Love the retro feel of the game and those spike puzzles were amazing. I wouldn't mind more gameplay with more complex spike puzzles like those. Also... the cows are brutal lmao
Thanks
A nice little game (I won it two times to get the treasure chest ;-). Would have loved to have different phrases for each death too. Great entry, I had a good time playing it :-D
Thank you
Unsure what I needed to do, I'm glad I saw the gif when I tried to save my ratings that it was possible to run off the screen. I kept just dying to cows :P Love the graphics style and general retro feel.
Thanks
Nice game :) I like that the mechanics, sound and aesthetics match each other.
Didnt realize the keys was for doors either since i could open both with just one key.
If the goal was closer to the start and you fail to open the doors first it would be more obvious.
Good work either way!
Thank you
i could not figure it out to play. i like the buttons interract on option menu.
Thanks.
There are a key and a boxcontaining a key. You pick the keys to open the door and you’re done.
Like that .
Nice game dude, I wish i could use that same font on my own page. I love pico 8
You can use it too. It’s available in the theme setup.
Choose
Pixelfont underTEXTsectionNice, thanks dude
Hey, congrats on your submission! I think better player feedback would be good here. To be honest, I wasn't really sure what I did. I beat the game but I don't know why other than I managed through a spike puzzle to a flashing circle. I'm not sure what the pickups did or what the key was for (I thought for the chest but the chest seems to open up regardless).
Either way, I think you have a good foundation to flesh out and create a nice little adventure game.
Thank you.
The pickups are keys you’ll use to open doors.
The the chest also give you a key.
Oh!!! Those were doors in the final spike puzzle. Sorry, I didn't realize that. Thanks for the explanation.
Yeah. Graphics are not that great.
Nice little game, you may try adding to the game's page the keys that you need to press to start the game, took me a while to figure out that they were Z + X, good job though :)
Thank you. I’ve updated the game page
I hate to admit this but I don't know what keys I'm supposed to press to start the game![]()
Sorry. You have to press ‘Z + X’ or ‘C + V’
