Operation: Retrieval is a short horror game in which what you can't see can't hurt you. As a drone operator, pilot your drone through the forbidden zone and collect 5 datapoints to upload to central command. The drone's camera flash is your only tool for visibility, but beware! Light attracts unwanted attention in the forbidden zone...

Originally just a prototype for an upcoming university project, I decided to flesh it out into a proper small game, since working with PICO-8 is just so much fun :D

Arrow keys: movement
V/X/M: trigger flash

Finished my first PICO-8 game! A farming game heavily inspired by SpaceCat's farming game tutorial, but with my own twists, gameplay mechanics and visuals!

Update 1.1 fixes the overflowing highscore, as well as slightly changing how the score is calculated and adjusting the prices for tomatoes and tomato seeds.
