so this poor guy has been sitting there, unfinished and lonely, since last summer.
I started this as a follow up to my Boing demo then totally forgot about it!
I don't think I'll be back on it any time soon, so here it is anyway!
bonus:
the original demo's 24 frames converted to pico8 resolution & palette as a gif
(my first idea was to somehow cram it into a cart)


Take on the role of Bomber, a magical curious creature who in ready for a new adventure. Jump, dodge, stomp and bomb your way through this intense retro arcade game.

Hope you guys enjoy the game!

Hi,
Here is my first pico project. After few days of tinkering with it, I finally have something that is satisfying :)
Still few things to add and change, but its already playable.. kind of ;)
As for the original vivi - it's the game i was playing as a kid on my first pc. Funny thing is, after trying to implement everything based only on those memories, I've made some research and somehow found it somewhere in internet archive :)
Changelog
1.0 Final version... kind of
- added persistent high scores
- code rearanged.. a little. but its still a mess
This game could have much more improvements, but its time to start something new.
Older versions:
[hidden]
0.4 Gameplay improvements:
- rearanged and expanded levels
- added lifes :)
- added mushrooms!
0.3 Released playable version

- Added 4 types of wandering animals with night/day behaviors,
- Improved rivers,
- Updated inventory (now it keeps track of the animals met).
There is still nothing to do but exploring the world, collecting objects for no reason, meeting animals.
Still no sound/music...
Update:
- Added some objects
- Added inventory
- Added home
- Added texts

New in beta 3: Distortion screen effect when hit!
Managed to get some extra cart space by converting from 2 spaces to tabs, and then used the new found space for this new useless effect. It looks cool though! (A demo cart for the distortion effect can be found here.)
There is still some things i a unhappy about, such as chains and multi kills not being visually represented, but i will have to carve out a good chunk of fat from the game in order to fit it in. I'll get to that eventually.

My first ever Pico 8 game.
I've been staring at this thing for so long, that i no longer have any idea whether it's actually any good or not. Regardless, it's done now, so i might as well upload it.

New to the Pico-8, which is already starting to feel like home.
When I was a kid, I remember playing these awful Game Gear sports games we got at a garage sale. This is my take: working your way up through the local semi-pro ladder, you can get a chance to unseat the seemingly-invincible Jeremy Mondo (I hear he's got a sponsor now!).
No particular advantage to choosing any of the characters, and some of the opponents you face early on are pretty bad - the characters are inspired by folks I've played (much less fun) games of racquetball with back in my hometown.

MAJ

- 10 levels

Hi, this is my entry for the jam gamecodeur#5
It is a game inspired by bomberman and other influences.
I think i will add more content until the end, but the essential is already there.
Dont hesitate to comments.
Thanks
Lionel
