Did you work in a team?
Just me!

Was the resolution a challenge?
Fluid scrolling was not really possible at such low res in Pico 8 so i just made everything fast paced so you don't notice!

What did you learn?
This is my first game in a Jam and my first in Pico-8 so I learned loads! I'll definitely be entering more Jams in Pico-8, it's a fantastic platform for a lone dev.

Need to learn to make Music next though!

Very neat idea. I like how the virus stands out from the map, and the animation effects are quite well done. A bit of music would really help the experience.

I really enjoyed the combat in this, it was cool being able to roam freely. The best thing you could add to this would be some way to strafe, it was really difficult dodging the turret shots, although that's probably the point :) 

Anyway, I really enjoyed it, here's my play-through:

A fun and challenging entry, you hit the brief for the 64x64 limit.
