Made for the 20 Second Game Jam. See the game's submission page!
Use your oddly jar-shaped mallet to fling Tomorrow toward the end of the level and whack Krikz the robot before the timer runs out! There are 5 optional sandwiches to collect throughout the stage.
Mastering the controls and learning the level layout will be essential to completing it in time, especially so if you wish to collect all of the sandwiches as well.
To make the game more accessible, there is an alternative mode with timer pickups scattered through the stage, and another with no time limit at all. Though, these modes do go against the jam's limitation, hence being optional. Think of them as "exploration aids" to help you learn the stage and determine a route through with a more relaxed time limit, while you attempt to reach the under 20 seconds mark.
The story:
The player character, Tomorrow, is mad at Krikz the robot and needs to whack him on the head to calm down before the rage consumes her.

Trivia:
This is awesome! I played the earlier version shared on the pico8 discord a little bit too so I had the controls down pretty well.
The wall jump does feel a tad weird, sometimes hops seem faster and sometimes they feel slower/delayed. Not sure if this is actually an issue or my mind playing tricks on me.
sub 15 is so close yet so far...
This is incredible. I am really tempted to make levels because i need to use this moveset more.
Edit: wait, so if I wanted to, would i need to make my own assets? whenever i put the code in it seems incomplete. I am new to pico, as you might guess.
You can download the full cart as a PNG by clicking the "cart" text in the bottom left corner of the game. From there, you can load that PNG file like a P8 cartridge, or I believe dragging it onto the command screen also works.
The level is stored 1:1 in the map tab, no fancy tricks nor any code to store multiple levels. To place objects, one of its sprites' tiles will have the last flag orb lit. Place that in the map and that object should appear when running the game.
If you like, you can post your creations in this thread. (More on that if you need it) Feel free to change up the graphics too.
Awesome game! Initially, I thought it was impossible but when I discovered the alternate/faster route at the beginning my mind went big boom! Then I realized that if you have enough momentum you can bounce off the spike and the enemies and destroy that one part. Anyway here's my PB:
For now 😎
