left and right to move, X to jump and O or Z to scream
Hi it's me again, I meant to post this earlier in the week but I only just got round to adding some sound effects and the scream button.
It's not finished, it's just a demo right now. I wanted to experiment with making a basic but cute character, so I made a little lizard and immediately fell in love with him. This is mostly just to show off the animations as I had no ideas for a game, and also to get a bit more practice with pico 8 as I'm still very new to it.
It took me way longer than it should have done because I've been distracted with all sorts of stuff lately but I'm very pleased with my little lizard who lives in a cake land.
I made the basic platformer framework by following the Nerdy Teachers "Pico 8 - Platformer Setup" tutorial which can be found here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyhkEEoUjSQtUiSOu-N4BIrHBFtLNjkyE it was very informative on collisions and animations, I highly recommend it.
Be nice to my son cake lizard. I hope you like him. I might make a whole game or at least some friends he can play with eventually

It's far from my first ever game but I recently discovered pico-8 and decided to give it a go.
To make this very short game I followed Dylan Bennett's "PICO-8 Top-Down Adventure Game Tutorial" on YouTube which can be found here https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdLmU93eWisKpyk1WZywUSYAq5dkCPFIv
I am loving PICO-8 so far and am very impressed with some of the carts I've seen. I'll definitely keep making stuff because it's a lot of fun. This is the cutest game dev tool I have ever seen! I was already sold on the concept when I looked into it but finding out you can export games as an image of a cartridge was the icing on the cake!
I'm Misty, or The Scrunkly Creature, they/she/it, and very excited to make and share cool stuff.
