The brooding atmosphere paired with the cute pixel robot is a great mix! Gotta be honest, I was confused for a while about where to go, and when I read "Z" for Rockets, I thought those were weapons rather than the jump button! The transitions between the areas were great, and the concept was easy to pick up. Good job!

I thought i'de be the only one with a Pico-8 + html-CRT, yours looks so cool. Did you get it online or make it yourself!?

I'm glad you like it! And yes, we did get the CRT effect online.

Love the look of it, especially the old scanline CRT filter!

This was great. It reminds me of the game I did for the 2019 jam. I was mildly annoyed by how the magnet mechanics worked, I was often getting stuck on walls or couldn't attach.

I seldom give 5 stars rating but here I am!

The game is SO FREAKING SICK, no I am no joke, it's like a mini mini metroidvania where the upgrade is time! Very coherent artstyle, and the sound ticking in is awesome! And it's not a very typical sound of clock to remind you, so I think so much details and love have been given to this piece. If you are watching my comment please try it!

Hidden Gem. The vibes are really good. Excited when I found my first upgrade and had to rush back to the terminal only to make it in the very last second. I’ll definitely try to finish it :) Deserves to be described as Metroidbrania, since you have to remember new pathways every run.

I had a good time checking out Oblivion. The main concept was easy to understand and fun to try. The art direction gave it a lot of personality.  If added the control indicator on screen too that would be great

A charming little game--I'm one of the psychos playing the heavy CRT filter.

I had a blast with this! The world feels so massive, but still conquerable. I also love the use of the pico8 - it meshes so well with the game and adds a ton of atmosphere
