A mini adventure game.

This cartridge extensively abuses Lua memory, lossy zlib compression, data-stored-in-code, and dget to render a 600×252 image with pixel-perfect scrolling. This is more a tech demo but I ended up doing a full mini game for Ludum Dare 37.

I’ll write a postmortem to explain all the hacks.

Wow! This already looks extremely impressive and I haven't even done much in it yet...

I would love to see a detailed tutorial of what's going on inside your code. Looks like a foreign language to me. Very cool stuff.

Wonderful! A much better escape room than my entry, "Vault". Good job!

This is pretty sick, really want to check out that postmortem now.

This has a nice early graphical adventure game feel to it, and I really love the transitions effects (they're a really nice touch.)

@sam: after the oric, you ported libpipi to output PICO-8 images? :D
