Level 1: oh, this isn't bad! I figured this out!
Level 6: THIS IS BAD, THIS IS VERY VERY BAD!!
Excellent work haha that was very fun to try out. I would have loved to see an indication of health on the enemies when they got stronger, the 1 hit turning into 2 hits caught me off guard! I haven't made anything with the Pico 8, I just learned about it, what you made was a lot of fun and incredibly stressful by the end! Solid work, keep it up!
Hehe, glad you liked it! I actually tried to give enemies their own health bar or something to indicate how much health they had but couldn't get it to work how I wanted. Could be something for me to revisit in the future though.
I think pico 8 is honestly a nice little tool, but it can be pretty jarring if you're coming from other engines like Unity or Godot, and even more so if you're not familiar with lua. I definitely had some growing pains trying to learn how to use it because it's really different than what I'm used to working with. But once things started clicking it became sooo much more fun to use.
I did much better that round haha! I felt like I got to a certain point and the gameplay got too repetitive, but dude, the bombs and health add a lot to the game! I think you could keep adding to this and just see where it goes if you want to turn it into a full lil arcade game. Adding random weapon drops, more enemy variety, bosses, you could turn this into a fun mini Arcade style Pico 8 Vampire Survivors. Once again, well done, I enjoyed the updates haha!
Sure! If I add anything that's worth another look I'll let you know :)
Can't remember exactly how far I got (I think it was around 20k?) but I actually killed myself on purpose because I was getting bored 💀Like I totally could've kept going but I was like "nah, this is waaaay too easy and repetitive I gotta change something"
