I wanted to present a small game that we made during gamejam GRAWITACJA 2023 in less than 36 hours. The keywords we drew (in polish) were 'laska' (babe/chick) and 'salon' (salon).
In an attempt to combine these keywords into a coherent whole, we constructed a small beauty salon in which you have to draw a beautiful eyebrow to the girl who brought you her dream design. Unfortunately, you are a novice salon owner and the only painting tool you have, allows you to draw triangles. Any mathematician knows that every possible shape can be constructed from triangles, so good luck. Drawing eyebrows has never been so confusing and so annoying.
Beat your own scores as the game stores your best achievements in each level.
Robbo is a classic arcade game released for the Atari XL/XE computers in 1989 by the Polish studio LK Avalon. The game was designed by Janusz Pelc, and the gameplay is focused on solving puzzles and using logic to find the best path through each level. The game was praised for their unique and appealing design, and remains a beloved classic that has been ported to many other systems over the years. I believe that every platform deserves a port of this game, and a few weeks ago I realized that there is no port for the Pico-8.
I ported the full original version of the game, consisting of all 56 levels. I tried to keep the resemblance to the original version as close as possible. This was quite difficult with the lower resolution, different pixel proportions and square screen, but my advantage was the higher number of colors - 16. I also added some title music, there was none in the original version. It took me a few weeks, and I'm quite pleased with the result.
