INCREDIBLY fun to play! Super tight controls, collision feels good, all in all was a terrific game. High score was 1250. My only grievance is that the background makes my eyes feel like they’re bleeding.
Great game, simple yet addictive and rewarding. Great use of the Pico-8 engine. The controls felt smooth and never out of control (apart when you start dashing everywhere but its no problem there). Maybe you could add some powerups or health pickups?
The game looks great and feels great! The combo mechanic creates a nice risk-reward system where you leave enemies alive as long as you can to kill them all with one dash. The dash sometimes breaks and teleports me randomly and a way to heal would be cool. Maybe you could make enemies have a health drop chance based on the combo number
It looks great and plays great :D I am really amazed of how well You used pico8 in this game, makes me really wanna finally learn it. Good job!
Nice I've never heard of Pico-8 does this port to a console? I love the retro style, I may have to check out how to use the software. I really enjoyed the game, super smooth control and great use of colour. Sound fits well too! Good job
Thank u! Pico-8 doesn't port to console but its still really cool and worth checking out! Its included in Itch.io's bundle for racial equality in case if you got that! Heres Pico-8's official website: https://www.lexaloffle.com/pico-8.php
Very simple mechanic yet very enjoyable. Nice work :D
Probably one of the best entries
Insanely satisfying while somewhat chaotic. The lack of cls() makes for a surprisingly good background effect. Good use of Pico-8
Super fun to play and very nice visuals and sound! Though, I think you're pushing the 2 frame limitation a bit with your title animation(very cool though!).
Nice work!
Even though the game loop is quite simple it's very fun to play.
The sound is really enjoyable and I like the trippy graphics.
But I think you missed the '2 Frame Animation' limitation a bit
(at least with the main title, I assume the rest are particles) as most things seem to contain more frames.
Nonetheless you did a great job!
Simple concept but amazing execution! I love the pixel art and the sound effects, especially the increasing pitch when you get a combo. Maybe you could add different enemy types to keep the player on their toes? Great job!
Game was exceptionally juicy! Really liked the simple concept, and the aesthetic.
