HOPPENCOOKIE

basically just Hoppenhelm but some things are different!! yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(you should play Hoppenhelm also, the music is AWESOME)

description

Hoppencookie is a highscore-based game that is heavily inspired by Hoppenhelm. You play as a cookie (unrelated to setting). You jump across a dungeon while getting as much score as possible and avoiding dying from:
-spikes and spikeballs!
-fireballs!
-the local fauna!
-TNT!
-and most importantly, lava!

but it's all gonna be worth it because you're gonna be rich!
(disclaimer: coins are only used to boost score. actual value may be 0.)

dev notes

there isn't a failsafe for reaching the integer limit (32767) of score. Be cautious. (you can reset your highscore via the pause menu tho)
my "biggest" game so far, using almost all my tokens! :(
(in fact, there were some things I wanted to add but couldn't)
including:
-the entire shop
-a new powerup that tanks your next hit
-a pallete selector in the settings! (this would let you change every pallete in the game! choose what colors YOU want to see!!)
-music (this wasn't because of tokens, Hoppenhelm music is too complex and long for the sfx channels)

BAL

DESCRIPTION

BAL is an arcade-style, high-stakes action "platformer" (there's only one platform), with one goal in mind: SURVIVE!

Play as a blue ball (named bal), on top of a slippery ice platform, and avoid obstacles such as missiles, a falling boulder, a laser cannon, and... a chicken?!
Collect temporary powerups that give you a slight advantage!
Try and beat your high score, and unlock cosmetics as you do so!

warning, this game is pretty difficult and can be overwhelming at first. That's ok. Every death is a learning experience. :)

UPDATE LOG

UPDATE 1

-added EASY MODE. all obstacles are 2x slower and powerups appear more often!
-binded Z to jump. (you can still use the up arrow key to jump if you wish.)
-added a DASH. after jumping, dash left or right to gain a boost in that direction! easy mode gives you two dashes per jump.(arrow keys in air.)
-edited death sprites a little (bal actually shows onscreen when you die.)
-remade outlining text code into a function (should've thought of this earlier...)
-other small changes and fixes that i'm too lazy to post

this is the first game I've posted on the pico-8 forum! (however this isn't the first game I've made.)

Button Presser is a simple clicker game. Press the button to gain clicks, which are used to buy upgrades, which make you more clicks, the cycle repeats. Click 'til you drop! (or you reach the integer limit...)
