DON'T TOUCH THE SPIKES - PICO 8
I wanted to close my pico-8 journey re-using the code I made for flappy bird. I reutilized the "flap" logic and the bird animations to create a new game, a remake of Don't touch the spikes!
The challenge here was to manage multiple instances of the spikes and detect collisions on all of them, but that could be done with the help of arrays.
I really liked Pico-8 as a developement platform becaue its restrictions allowed me to focus purely in solving the gameplay issues I faced. As I stated before, it didn't overwhelm me, and helped me actually finish these projects.
To add variety to the gameplay, I created two gamemodes: one is called "linear", because you have the same speed all the time, and the other one is called "acceleration", because you get +0.1 speed every two points. It's my favorite one, as it gets pretty chaotic haha.
If you can enjoy this little games for a single minute it's already a win for me. I am excited to develop more more games in the future.
Cheers!
