Made for my nephew, who is four and a half. Explore 5 different areas and help the friends in need.
Based off MBoffin's top down tutorial :)
Controls
X - Check inventory
Z - Advance dialogue
Arrow keys - Move
(There is no win screen, game "ends" when you helped everyone)
Arrow keys to move, x to shoot, z to use ultimate (meter at top left next to star). Hitbox is the pink square in the middle of the ship. Blast your way through 4 unique areas with over 4 power-ups and 8 challenging enemies including a final boss.
A small shmup based loosely off of the tutorial from amazing Krystman from Lazy Devs. Looking forward to (maybe) making another one now that the advance tutorial is out :)
Music credit to "neon" by lucatron and "Dimensional Gate" by Gruber.
Additional math formulas for rotation and other things from TheRoboZ and some other forum posts (sorry I forgot to save them)
First game using Pico8 as well as the first completed game I've made. Originally I was just going to follow Dylan Bennett's amazing tutorial but it ended up ballooning. While it's not that good of a game and the coding became kind of all over the place, it had been a really nice learning experience and I hope you enjoy!
Arrow keys to move, Z to interact, X to check inventory.
