NIN

Can you escape...

About

NIN is an stylized action-platformer I have been working on for the past 3 months. The game has 32 screens and takes around 30-40 minutes to complete. I had a lot of fun making this game over the past few months (although trying to keep within the token limit was very challenging towards the end). It has been a very rewarding and experience using pico 8 and pushing myself to see what I can create with it.

Gameplay

The goal of the game is to escape the lab you are trapped in as quickly as possible. The game features challenging platforming and blood filled action. The player is equipped with a sword and a ground pound, both of which can be used to help tackle obstacles in your way. There are also extra challenging coins to collect along the way which unlock a secret if you collect them all...

Controls

⬅️➡️ to move
⬇️ to ground pound
❎ to jump
🅾️ to attack

Extra

There are also extra challenges to complete for secret palette swaps and a timer option for anyone who wants to try and beat the game as quickly as possible. I managed to narrow my time down to just over four minutes but that is definitely beatable.

Downloads/CRT mode

I also have a version on itch.io with downloads for Windows, Mac, Raspberry Pi and Linux as well as a browser version with a CRT filter.

I hope you enjoy!

A demo for an action-platformer I have been working on. It has about 14 levels done so far with a planned 32. Any feedback is much appreciated as I still have a lot of work to do on the game. There are level numbers in the top left corner if you have any feedback for a specific screen.

Enjoy!

A remake of snake with a few customisation features that I made over a week to try and get back into programming!

Controls:
Use the arrow keys to move the snake and to navigate the menu

Options:
You can change between 4 different backgrounds:
Blank - is just a black background
Space - adds stars flying past
Clouds - adds some pretty clouds so you can enjoy the view whilst playing snake!
Grid - adds a grid to the background for extra precision when moving your snake

You can change between 4 different palettes for your snake:
Green (Default)
Blue
Orange
Pink

You can also go between 4 different speed options:
fast - gotta go fast!
medium - for your standard snake shenanigans
slow - a relaxing experience
slug - a VERY relaxing experience

Some of the code is quite horrible to look at especially the method used to draw the snake and the transition animation between game states.

Hope you enjoy!
