Rusty's Rumble

Rusty is a cool dude, the place where he lives however is the opposite. He recently ran out of water and must now run around to find more. Help Rusty cool down and survive the everlasting attacks from bandits, cows, and flying dynamite?

Controls:

You can change your controls in the pause menu.

Keyboard/Controller:

-X + keys to move like a chess piece (the given piece is highlighted by a gray square).
-Z to hold a piece.

Mouse:

​-left click on a purple square to move to that square like a chess piece.
-right click to hold a piece.​​

Touchscreen:

click on...​​
-a purple square to move to that square like a chess piece.​
-Rusty (blue square) to hold a piece.​

There are 20 custom levels, with more randomized ones if you want to go for a high score!
If you're having trouble moving with the knight, the game checks for a sequence of inputs. Think of it as first moving 2 steps in a direction and then to the sides.

V1.1 changes:

​-Added mouse and touchscreen controls.
-Set some highscores when you start playing (Rusty got those himself).

Nice! Got to level 6, 46375. It wasn't always clear which piece I had or which was next/swappable, but I started to figure it out as I went and I had fun!

Creative mechanic, I like it, thanks for sharing! After a few test runs to figure out how to play I managed to make it to level 5, I’ll come back and play again later.

My only feedback is it was difficult to make diagonal moves (especially knight moves) playing on a phone, as on the virtual D pad it’s hard to press two directions at once with a single finger.

Edit: Came back and played on the laptop later, definitely easier controls, still fun and engaging! Made it to level 11.

I'm happy you liked it! The diagonal moves are indeed hard to pull off on a phone. I didn't know you could play pico-8 games on there, so the game wasn't designed with that in mind. 😅

Banger of a game, my highest score is 514.710 so far!!!! The later levels are pretty hard

Nice game. I can see this working well with mouse/touch controls too, if you ever want those :)
