+1 thanks! Great series, succinct and clear, and got me up and running a game in an afternoon - just what Pico-8 promised! Thank you so much for creating and sharing it :) (I thought I'd already posted this, but apparently not!)
I'm so glad you liked it! And yes, the game (and character!) name is definitely unique, but what else could I call him? He's got a bit of all three animals in his design!
Thanks Bastian. I saw your gameplay in the video yesterday - sorry you had such trouble finding the help button. After your video, I decided to update the game: the help screen now shows up automatically if you wait.
I love the look! Great animation too - the double-jump was so satisfying. It was also really nice to play a game like this that wasn't an auto-scroller: trying to beat some of the tricky jumps was really fun.
I made my first ever game in Pico-8, and I'm always amazed by what others can do with it. I thought it'd be nice to have a place to chat about games and share tips!
Cute game! I love beagles so I had to check this one out :D I enjoyed finding all the old consoles, and although I also had some minor issues (it would sometimes register that I'd found a console when I'd only dug up one square to the south) I was able to find them all!
Very cute! I loved the music, and the overall vibe was nice - so many platformers are hardcore and precision-based, it was nice to play one that's forgiving and soothing. It would be interesting to have some extra inertia on the cat's movement, and I also had a few camera issues in the browser version (in level 4, I got all the way to the top but couldn't see below, and fell to my death...)
I really enjoyed it! I liked the simple controls and nice mix of jumping and shooting, and you combined them cleverly. After a few levels I would have liked to have seen a new weapon or item introduced, like a grenade or something, to add an extra layer. Fun overall!
