Got 100m! Really nice generation going on, I enjoyed my time playing it.
The dead-ends feel a bit too anticlimatic if there is no way to escape, but it's impressive that you managed to add enemies and powerups too. Awesome Pico8 entry!

Did you work in a team?
Just me!
Was the resolution a challenge?
Not really? Originally you could never go down, so I felt like I needed to make each world chunk at most 1/4 of the screen (so the player isn't forced into any decisions without knowing which way is the right way to go), but 8x8 chunks felt entirely too small. Once I decided to allow backtracking downwards that problem went away, so I was able to change the chunk size to a more breathable 10x10.
What did you learn?
This was my first time implementing "good game feel" in a platformer (mainly coyote time and automatic x-adjustment under overhangs) and my first time doing procedural level generation, so I learned a lot about all of this.
I also have gotten much better working with different coordinate systems--this game has world space (which is infinte), map space (which is like world space but wrapped into a finite storage array), and screen space (which is y-inverted).
