MY FIRST GAME IS FINISHED! 🙌

FEATURES INCLUDE: • Bumpin' soundtrack • Freakishly lifelike graphics • Cute lil sloth guy • Relatively breakneck speeds • Innovative day/night system • Vast array of 7 different obstacles • Puns (The point of the game is to see how long you can play before killing yourself out of boredom)

Version History:

Way too hard. I ragequit after I hit the second obstacle for the 20th time.

Wicked music. I really love the energy in it.

Ahhh, the puns. D:

dies

EDIT: That was great and fun to play, Looks nice, and has decent music too.

I played this game way longer than I care to admit. Also, the dad puns were awesome.

The music <3
I just set the speed to 0 for an accurate gameplay according to the character. K, bye --_\o\

At night it turns to 8bit dubstep. This is amazing.

This is great.

This, sir, is an excellent cart.

I can't decide if I have to try again, or never.

Also, it looks like there's a little bug with the score display starting from the third row.
I had some time to spare (see evidence above) so I tried fixing it :
I replaced :

local y=3 + flr(i/61)*10

With :

local y=3 + flr((i-1)/60)*10

In the "draw_score ()" function and it seems to have fixed it!

Thank you for your wonderful contribution to the pico-8 community <3

I honestly can't believe the quality of this music, bumpin' is accurate.

@le_gars Thank you so much for the bug report and taking the time to fix it! Just updated it. (Did you actually score that many points? If so, you deserve a prize.)

And thanks for the kind words, everyone! I've really glad you seem to be enjoying my dumb little game! :D

@emu My pleasure and yeah I did score that many points, the song is so great I didn't want to stop playing x)

what a dumb little game withe the best music I have ever heard!

Still better than most AAA titles.

Cool game! Shades of DOGGY .. another Oric owner in our midst?

Hahaha, I've never heard of Doggy or Oric before. That looks incredible.

I didn't expect it to EXPLODE. There's nothing left. That sock straight up vaporized me.

TFW you want to listen to this song while working but you have to check back every 10 seconds to keep the sloth and tunes goin'.

(yes, I know I can just open it in the music editor)

damn that is a killer soundtrack!

Got really far. Then I started thinking ... maybe there is no ending to this game ?

But I've gotten so far, I don't wanna quit naaow !
Just a little bit more.
A little bit more.
Little bit more.
Little bit more.
Little bit more.
Little bit more.

Awesome music, cool gameplay. Those green hill tiles are the tits!

10/10 will play again

You should give like 10 points for going around the more difficult side of the obstacle because that's like a totally risky maneuver! Very hard, especially, when the obstacle is dead center because it's very hard to determine the more dangerous side!! It would add enormously to the awesome pointlessness of this supremely challenging game (I just can't seem to make it very far without committing frisbee seppuku).

This is really cool! great job!

"The Slow and the Curious"?
More like "The Slow and the Furious".
Love the punny pun.

There's really nothing to not love about this.

The music is great, and the humor that seeps its way into basically every other aspect of it is, too. Especially with the Game Over screen messages. Those are amazing.

Love this. The music is fantastic. I couldn't get bored if I tried.
