This is my first pico8 game. The tile collision detection is a little ropy, the code is terrible, and there's no restart loop, but I like the handling and the animation of the little hat dude. Even though when standing still he looks a little like a horse in a yellow coat.

Nice platformer. I like the character :D

I fell through the lava at the top and the floating single block's collision (above the spawn, grass on all four sides) isn't perfect, you have to land on the far edge I think.

Maybe some hanging down vines would be nice? And a background?
I think the hat should sit on his head, maybe it could bob up and down when you run? Like in Fez?

Played it again. Found that the collision issue is when you are moving horizontally (holding down the left or right buttons).

I would recommend making Z "btn(4)" or X "btn(5)" the jump button.

oh nice! thanks for the pointers!
