Yay, another pico-8 entry :) Well done!
Nice one. Always liked the look of Pico-8.
Pico-8 brings everyone together :smile: You guys made a nice game.
Congrats on submission and keep it up! Graphics is awesome :fire:
I really love the pixle style and your gameplay, very cool.
Takes me back to my childhood! You and your children did a wonderful job!
Very cute, I love the music! I like all the different mission texts, too. I was a little confused by the combat mechanics at first, but I got it after a bit.
It felt like a real unique and interesting game to me! Congrats on what you did here. I was pretty lost the first few attempts but then I started completing some summons. Loved the audio and the atmosphere.
Great job to the whole family!
This is a pretty cool game! It feels nostalgic! I hope you had lots of fun with your kids! Your game makes me really curious about the pico-8! Have a great jam!
I can see the idea here but it's hard to win in this game if I keep getting attacked by wolves without any chance to recover. I won once because I choose easy tasks but if I had chosen harder tasks, I'm guaranteed to fail.
Thanks for the input @bloodbane , one of the things we need to figure out is how to handle encounters in the world map. (1) random encounters like we have now... but I think there needs to be a time-out to prevent repeat attacks. (2) icon of enemies on world map you can attempt to run away from. (3) safe havens / places to buy replenish.
True, as you play - you get an idea of where you are and were the summons are and can learn to pick the easy ones.
Upon completing a summons, you do get 3x goats. One of each attack goat, normal goat, pack goat. Ultimately I wanted to pack goats to be the keys to completing many of the quests... you have to pack the medicine/water/food/etc to destination.
I protected the king as my third summon and I won the game! A beautiful perfect ending. I had a couple of runs, I think near the end my optimal strategy was to always go straight to the mission objective and ignore the roads, and try my best to eliminate all wolves before the attack goats die, as long as those goats (greatest of all times) are still around, everything is going well. And it worked out for the most part! I think I only lost one during my winning round.
Very fun game, I like the missions giving a lot of context to the world we are traversing. The fighting is cool too, I liked the way slashing the wolves felt, I think that was designed pretty well, both animation/art-wise and SFX-wise. Your kids did well creating the sounds and graphics! I had a lot of fun playing this game, great job!
pico-8 NICE !!!!!
