-- STORY --
You've found yourself on a strange, brooding planet after crashing your space ship. There's nothing to do except to look for another ship you can use to find your way back home... Better get exploring!

I made this little itty bitty game based off of Dylan Bennett's "PICO-8 Top-Down Adventure Game Tutorial" series as a way to get in to Pico-8 programming and also as a little creative exercise.

I'm quite happy with how the visuals turned out, as well as some other things like the custom tiles and the randomized nonsense from the red NPCs.

Nice tile graphics, funny how your crashed ship looks like a cartoon dog happy face ☺
I completed it.. but not sure as intended
Did you consider moving in diagonals?
(eg. Pressing both down and left)

@Hercleum thanks for the complement! I noticed that Dylan Bennet's system could let you move through tiles diagonally while I was making this project, but it didn't really bother me much since it was more just to try understanding basic Pico-8 and coding stuff. Eventually I'd like to come back to this and make my own movement system, actual npcs, etc.

nice. fine tileset but mobs dont move and only one life?:(
i tuned the same template for my game... indians, jones and the temple of death... with moving mobs, lifecounter, anim aaaand ähm backgroundmusic... im not to old for this;)
