Time Twister: a game in which you're being chased by robots. You can run, or you can teleport. When you teleport, you go back in time, sort of; a ghost player appears and makes the moves you did up until the time you teleported. Each robot chases the nearest player (either you or a ghost). When robots collide, they're destroyed, leaving a wreck; when robots collide into the wreck, they're destroyed, too.
Inspired by a Macintosh game, circa 1987, called Daleks; Daleks was similar, except for the time travel part. Daleks seemed like it was inspired by the game Chase, in More Basic Computer Games, published by David H. Ahl in 1979.
I admit it's pretty simple; it's my first pico-8 game.
Move with the arrows, teleport with the Z key, avoid the robots. Teleportation takes you back in time, sort of, so that a ghost player appears and makes the moves you did. Each robot chases the nearest player (either you or a ghost). Once you get killed, you can press the X key to start a new game.
