How does the game fit the theme?
You really risk it for the biscuit by... Guessing how long the stage will take to complete, and going for the lowest time to increase your score the most! Lower timer, BIGGER multiplier to your score. After each stage, either save your score and end your run... OR continue and risk snuffing your flame out, then losing EVERYTHING!
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
all assets made by me. Parts of the movement were from basic PICO-8 tutorials if that counts! Watched the youtuber "SpaceCat" for his tutorials on some basic stuff but other than that all me! B)

Harder than I expected, very fun!
this was so fun, I've never seen the idea where you had to bet on the score like this, extra ratings for pico8 :)
Pretty solid game! Could use clearer indicator that your suposed to exit to lock in your score once the coins are collected. Good Work! *this game was live reviewed here: twitch.tv/gratefulllyivory (will post vod after stream)
Nice game bro :) I enjoyed it.
I’m glad! Thanks for playing :D
this is such a a fun and cute game, really enjoyed it 9/10 :D
although idk what to do once you collected all the coins XD
LOL all good, I’m glad you thought it was fun! And with getting all the coins you walk to the door on the right and enter it. Then it’ll let you loop around and start a new generated stage!
Good job, fits the theme. Cool pixel style
Thanks! Glad you liked it
I had a blast playing this! The way the difficulty ramps up kept me on my toes without feeling unfair, and I really liked how the scoring system pushes you to take risks if you want to go big. It gave me that “just one more run” feeling, which is always a good sign. Definitely one of those games where you notice all the little tweaks that went into making it satisfying. Great work!
incredibly glad you liked it! A lot of tweaks went in and I did have to cut a lot of things but that definetly helped into fine tuning a lot of things! So I’m even happier to hear you noticed!
Really cool game
glad you liked it! Always happy to hear.
It's quite entertaining! At first, I thought it was a bit slow, but later more enemies started to appear, and it got more interesting. Really great job!
Happy to hear you enjoyed my game! Was really fun making, so I’m happy someone else had a fun time playing it.
Great game, at first I thought "wait that's it, just collect the coins?" until I understood the time/multiplier tradeof which makes it quite interesting. Also, great job on the consistent art style and the nice animations! Also, also - nice tune!
I’m glad you liked it all! Luckily I DID think of the timer and multiplier going into the game and definetly thought it would be interesting at the least. Had to do a lot of tweaking and number changing when I added the enemies, and scaled the multiplier much bigger to be a bit more satisfying and give everyone that feeling of “well, I should try going for the bigger multiplier”. Thanks for the feedback! It’s much appreciated and glad you liked it.
Absolutely great job, it feels very polished, something we didn't manage in time for the submission and had to bugfix yesterday and today 😅
kinda how it goes… lol
This is a really nice looking game, I really wanna try out PICO-8 at some point. Its also my first game jam, what a fun (and stressful) experience right? As I think others have mentioned, probably could've had a default running speed and also I wasn't sure if the enemies were supposed to become vulnerable after you collect all the coins? As their sprites change so I assumed it was like pacman. Either way, really fun and nice looking game well done!
thank you so much for your feedback!!! And yeah the gamejam was definetly hard but absolutely so much fun. And honestly the sprite change to become “collectible” like pac man would have been a great idea lol! I kinda was going for the opposite and making them “angrier” but it would have been more fun if they gave some bonus to your score if you grabbed them on your way out. Regardless, thanks for playing!!!
This was so cute! You did an amazing job for a one person project!! I loved the trail of fire behing the lil flame.
I do think that the default speed for the lil guy should've been the one you get when pressing C, it felt like there was not much of a benefit of not running? Like, maybe I'd understand having a walk speed for maneuvering around the smoke guys if your fast speed was so fast that you'd probably easily run into em, but it wasn't that big of a difference and it was easy to go around em when running.
I did get a level where there were absolutely no enemies so that was fun!!!
Thank you for playing and even commenting! Means a lot to me. And absolutely should have fixed the speed. I realized a bit too late how often I was using the sprint speed and should have probably made that the default speed. If I were to update it I would probably make the default speed even faster and make the O key a slow down button for tighter spots. Glad you enjoyed the game and I appreciate the feedback a lot!
Nice little game! I like the tradeoff before every level for risk and reward. I did have a feeling that some of the hitboxes where a bit off where I thought I was safe but still got hit, and on the other hand though I would pick up a coin but didn't. But still very enjoyable, good job!
absolutely should have reworked the hit boxes lol… I’m still pretty new to coding n everything and the only way I got it to work reasonably fast was to make the “spirit flame” particle the hitbox… so it can feel really unforgiving sometimes which is something I absolutely should have fixed! But appreciate that you still had fun regardless!!! Thank you so much
I risk too much but it was fun !
Glad you had fun, it’s what matters the most!
big fan of the pico 8 style. good spritework as well it is seemless on the fire anims. The faces make me giggle too.
greatly appreciated! I was very happy with the fire animations so I’m glad someone else liked it
yeah they are very clean. I can see a reuse for it like in weapons too
I always risk more than I can handle and I love it
it’s so hard not to…. Glad you liked it!
PICO-8 games like this are so cool. I love the art, particle effects, and audio so much. Great job on this one!
THANK YOU!(so much!). Means a lot to me. Glad you liked the game!
