SelvaCol is my first game made with PICO-8.
It’s still a work in progress, and I’ve been building it by following tutorials and learning as I go.
That’s why the code is full of comments... they help me understand what each part does.
I plan to keep adding levels, improvements, and polish things over time.
Thanks for the suggestions..
I’ve been polishing the code, tweaking enemy behavior, and testing new levels and obstacles.
I also worked on the game’s cover art.. I wanted it to better reflect the project’s energy.
It’s still a work in progress, but I’m feeling more and more comfortable using PICO-8 and Lua.
Most of the comments are still in the code… they’re like breadcrumbs for my future self.
Thanks to everyone who’s shared suggestions and good vibes.
That label art is awesome 😃 If you plan to use it in-game, consider using PX9 for image compression and to give yourself more room on the sprite sheet if needed. Also consider using btn over btnp to make the player movement feel more responsive.
Thanks so much @Verb for the tips! I wasn’t familiar with PX9, so I’ll definitely check it out. And you're right about using btn ,,, I’ve noticed the difference in responsiveness, so I’ll make that switch. Really appreciate you taking the time to share this!
this is SO good the game is fun AND the art is unfathomably good
Thank you so much @pinkythedino !! 🙌 I'm really glad you're enjoying both the gameplay and the art ,,,means a lot!
Thanks! I’m glad you liked the cover art. I’ll definitely be working on improving the controls... Really appreciate the feedback @Coko !!
it's a bit glitchy with the fire cuz sometimes the second fire spawns when you restart
Thanks for pointing that out @pinkythedino !
Yeah, I’ve noticed that bug too. I’m working on a fix so the fire resets properly without duplicating. Really appreciate you bringing it up!
