You can run, or you can teleport. When you teleport, you go back in time, sort of; a ghost player appears and makes the moves you did up until the time you teleported. Each robot chases the nearest player (either you or a ghost). When robots collide, they're destroyed, leaving a wreck; when robots collide into the wreck, they're destroyed, too.</p> <p>Inspired by a Macintosh game, circa 1987, called Daleks; Daleks was similar, except for the time travel part. Daleks seemed like it was inspired by the game Chase, in <em>More Basic Computer Games</em>, published by David H. Ahl in 1979.</p> <p>I admit it's pretty simple; it's my first pico-8 game.</p> <p>Move with the arrows, teleport with the Z key, avoid the robots. Teleportation takes you back in time, sort of, so that a ghost player appears and makes the moves you did. Each robot chases the nearest player (either you or a ghost). Once you get killed, you can press the X key to start a new game.</p> https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=150251 https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=150251 Sat, 12 Jul 2025 23:33:00 UTC
