Use of the limitation
You only have one attempt at reaching your score: Pishie only ever has ONE LIFE. I made sure you can not restart the game. If you get Pishie killed, that’s on your hands. Reload to see him being stuck in the ground looking miserable… how could you?

That's one way to make use of the limitation! Also like how the player sprite looks kinda 3D. The game sadly didn't want to be fair in my one and only life though as the first pipe that appeared was so far vertically down that the top part was partially missing and the bottom gap was so small that getting through it was impossible.👍

ahhhhck that’s a problem with my coding. Because it’s based on a tutorial (link the description!) it bases the calculation of distance on the sprite’s dimensions, so if the resolution is off, it won’t work properly.


sorry about that!


the reason why the sprites look 3d…is because they are! All of them are pre-rendered 3d models turned into sprites :) 


In case you are interested in my art, I'm working on a game called PizzaBreaker which will feature my amateurial models

I was suspecting them to be pre-rendered models, yet wasn't fully sure due to the jam only being 3 days, but it does make sense as it's only 2 models. 

I'll make sure to check regularly on PizzaBreaker and other projects you might be working on.

I played your game and this was my first impression. Caught me off guard :D Really cool stuff

wuuuut? the pipes were placed 3 times as close to each other for me 😅.
Only had a score of 2, I thought the intention was to humiliate me, because that definitely did work ^^

Diabolical in the best way. That's a really creative interpretation of the limitation! Too bad I got like 2, now I guess I'm stuck with that 😕

One of the other submissions I played had the same concept with the limitation! I can't believe you guys thought of that 😂 genius -- nice art and audio too

hahah thank you, I was afraid people would be upset by it since you can only play once, but it’s already a silly game, thought I’d go all in

Did you do the sprites by yourself? I like them. The game is stuck on the score page after the first try. Maybe a saving issue.

Developer (2 edits)

All sprites made by me and yes, the game being stuck is the point of the game. 

I went and removed the restart button, as well as forcing the game to save after your first attempt.


I expect a 5 stars on the limitation score! And 1 on everything else


EDIT: the game has a save and restart functionality meaning after the gamejam is over I may upload the real version without those features locked ;)

I actually remember an AppStore game with a similar theme where you could only play it once, it was a runner game where you parkour around some roofs
