God Save The Cakes!
This is a remake of God Save The Queen a simple but very fun game I played a long time ago on itch.io, for PICO-8!
I made it in around two days, mostly to practice making games, and with pico-8 the whole process was really fun. I love it so far.
A lot of stuff still needs polish (like the round over screen) / the animations, but I deemed it finished enough to be playable right now.
This is my first ever public cart, so lmk where I could improve on things :]
Game rules
The game is for two players (Either two pico8 joysticks or 1 joystick + mouse (select 'Lock joysticks' to prevent the game from swapping controls between joystick 1 and 2).
Both players start with 5 minutes of time as spy,
and take turns as a sniper and a spy.
As a spy, you have blend in the crowd of npcs and poison all the cakes by walking into them.
It makes an audible sound that the sniper has to listen for.
The role of the sniper is to find which one of the party guests is the spy and shoot them.
Points get awarded for every cake the spy managed to poison (or 6 if sniper misses all their shots)
The game goes on until both players are out of time.
