Haven't seen Pico-8 before, makes me nostalgic for an era of games I've never even experienced :P plays well, really charming and cohesive presentation with the visuals + audio!
Didn't expect to but I played to the end, pretty satisfying to navigate the balloon around! Really nailed the aesthetic, too. A different kind of boss that uses the balloon mechanic would be cool to see
interesting game I have skill issue for jumping the boss XD
This game is so fun, and has a great level of juice! Each level felt unique with the different color schemes and procedural generation. Love the running animation haha
Thanks for putting me onto PICO-8! I'm a huge fan of this minimalist aesthetic—it’s totally my vibe. Plus, the games you shared are awesome; it's been such a fun ride exploring them.
Was a cool game, and the controls do feel tight. I also like the very retro style, although I'm not sure how colours were chosen, but at times they did clash quite harshly (might be what you were going for, but I think a more harmonious palette would really add a lot). Overall fun and very impressive for 3 days.
Extremely impressive that you were able to get procedural generation complete in 3 days. Also both control methods, walking around and piloting the balloon, feel extremely responsive and fun to play! Really nice art too
