Hi all,
I wanted to share the first full game I made on PICO-8. It's a modern twist on the old Sopwith video game.
The purpose is to destroy all enemy factories. Can you successfully complete all three levels?
Instructions:
Right key to takeoff/afterburner
Left key to air brake
Up key to pull up
Down key to pull down
Z to fire main gun (unlimited)
X to drop bombs
From the secret menu:
If you tap both left and right keys at the same time, the plane will flip. It's not necessary as the plane will flip itself upright automatically when needed.
Fuel:
Make sure to check on your fuel level. Fuel and bombs can be replenished by landing at a friendly airbase.
I was able to cram quite a few things in here, such as minimap, background color gradients, AI with A* path finding (incl. implementing a priority queue), Airplane, bomb, and bullet physics.
Hope you enjoy and I'd be glad to get your feedback and suggestions.
Best!
