Hey all!
I just recently discovered Pico-8 and am eagerly working on my first game - Picoplex!
If you recognize the game, that's because this is a clone of one of my favourite games of my childhood - Supaplex.
The goal of the game is to collect all of the "Infotrons" in a level in order to proceed to the portal and into the next level.
There are only three levels so far. Hence - WIP!
Controls:
U/D/L/R - MOVE
X - SLURP
O - DEBUG VIEW
X+O - RESTART LEVEL
Slurp mechanic is also from Supaplex - it lets you slurp either Scum or Infotrons beside you without moving. That's pretty important for lots of puzzles.
Just wanted to share what I have so far :)
Thanks for being such an awesome and fun community to be a part of!
Cheers,
Prog
--Version History--
0.1 - First Commit
0.2 - Fixing a duplication bug (thanks to dw817 for reporting this!)
0.3 - Added a menu and end screen, more sound effects, and an extremely annoying/repetitive background track
0.35 - Worked on the music a bit to make it a bit longer and therefore less repetitive. Not quite there yet!
Ah sure, sorry there's no menu yet!
I've updated the original post with the info.
Hope this helps!
HWD, I've got it.
Sort of like "Boulderdash" physics but with an interesting twist. You can SLURP up the grass AND the game pieces. You need to remember this in order to get past at least the first level.
It's certainly a puzzler for the brain.
Thanks dw817 - updated the cartridge with that bug fixed!
Yeah, that's because you can press both buttons during gameplay to restart the level in case you mess up or get stuck.
Maybe I'll change it to btnp instead of btn for the level restart. Thanks again!
