On a distant planet, a woman has found herself separated from her crew. Their fate unknown, she seeks a way back to the spacecraft that brought them here, but there's a strange obelisk here, and hoards of viscous creatures...

Fight huge crowds of monsters to push a path forward in this retro-style arcade shooter!

Here's my entry for RNDGame Jam 2020! I'm happy with how this turned out -- it's pretty much the first game I've ever really "finished" in any capacity. Maybe I'll do more with it, but for now I hope you enjoy it!

BBS Timeout

Thu, 26 Dec 2019 15:29:24 UTC

I am having difficulty connecting to the BBS from SPLORE to view any category of carts. There are some that I have loaded previously, but now when I select "update" or try to search, I get a loading spinner for a long while followed by a popup message stating "TIMEOUT". I have a working internet connection on both computers that I've tried this with. Is there something else that I should try to get this working? Is there a log file that I can turn to for clues?

Thank you for the help!

Hello, BBS! This if my first Pico-8 Cart that I'm working on. I'm hoping I can have it done by the end of my Christmas break.

I still have to figure out the music that I want to use, and the title screen, and the instructions. Oh, and there's also no game over screen or leveling system. And the character sprites aren't done...

There's a lot of work left! But this has been a great tool to play with so far. I'm happy I found it. =]
