Tough, but interestingly varied and very well-done! I haven't even seen beyond the second zone or gotten any of the special equipment but I'm already loving it.
The music is definitely cool, too!

One thing though, that title screen does not look safe for people with epilepsy, so I'd definitely tone down the flashing rate if you can.

hei, thanks for playin!
can't really tell how difficult is right now, but i guess it might be too hard or not ramping up properly. didn't do much balancing

ill take a look at toning down the epilepsy thing

anybody knows if its possible to remove carts from the pico8 splore? i hate that it duplicates every time i update the cart

Lil hint:

function sprs(sp,x,y,scale)
    local border=scale
    for i=1,15 do
        pal(i,cc3)
    end
        sspr(sp%16*8,flr(sp/16)*8,8,8,x,y+border,8*scale,8*scale)
        sspr(sp%16*8,flr(sp/16)*8,8,8,x+border,y+border,8*scale,8*scale)
        sspr(sp%16*8,flr(sp/16)*8,8,8,x+border,y,8*scale,8*scale)
        sspr(sp%16*8,flr(sp/16)*8,8,8,x+border,y-border,8*scale,8*scale)
        sspr(sp%16*8,flr(sp/16)*8,8,8,x,y-border,8*scale,8*scale)   
        sspr(sp%16*8,flr(sp/16)*8,8,8,x-border,y-border,8*scale,8*scale)
        sspr(sp%16*8,flr(sp/16)*8,8,8,x-border,y,8*scale,8*scale)
        sspr(sp%16*8,flr(sp/16)*8,8,8,x-border,y+border,8*scale,8*scale)    
    pal()
    pal(8,cc1) pal(7,cc2) pal(0,cc3)
    sspr(sp%16*8,flr(sp/16)*8,8,8,x,y,8*scale,8*scale)

end

You better use for here ;) It will save you quite a bit of tokens.

Awesome, love the graphics and the smooth gameplay! The 3-color aesthetic limitation really ties things together nicely, and the animations give everything a lot of character.

My fingers aren't used to quickly switching items yet, but this feels like a game with pretty high skill gap. It's really impressive that you made this for a quick game jam!

P#45848 2017-11-03 21:27 ( Edited 2017-11-04 01:27)

this is VERY good. A lot a of replayability.

P#45947 2017-11-06 21:51 ( Edited 2017-11-07 02:51)

i love skelethrone. it's top tier spelunkylike and hard in a way that is super replayable. i haven't gotten further than 2-1 or 2-2 yet, but i think i have a strategy to try next...

anyway 10/10, thanks for game!
