Thank you! This was made in Pico 8, which makes it pretty easy to do this stuff. Pico 8 is an all in one engine that has a code editor, sprite editor, map SFX and music editors. It allows exporting to Windows Linux and Mac binaries, PNG, and HTML.

It's described as a fantasy console - being that it imitates the constraints of that era such as limited memory and space for sprites, etc. Despite this it's super fun! It promotes smaller better games, and almost all of my recent projects have been in it. I've never finished so many games before haha.

I'll look into it! I don't have a device that runs Linux unfortunately, but maybe there's a workaround.

Before the Gate

You take control of a soul that was denied access to the afterlife. Not accepting this as your fate, to be endlessly stuck in the void of darkness, you decide to try and gain access anyway.  A being blocks your path, one that calls itself "The Gatekeeper". Will you fight it for the chance of an afterlife or will you succumb to its power?

In Before the Gate, you take on a single bullet hell boss with multiple different original attacks, in a simple minimalist setting to gain access to the afterlife.
