Amazing! I was honestly impressed by the overall presentation of this. It was the first entry I was curious enough about to download the standalone and I wasn't disappointed. The graphics feel pretty close to what I remember Doom and the like appearing, maybe like an HD version of those games and the gameplay left me intrigued. Now add some sweet DOS midi metal music and we've got ourselves a gem.
Huh, numbers of photos taken reached out of screen, guess I wasn't supposed to do this badly. That spastic cat though.
Games using the already established popularity of well-known characters always start with a huge bonus. Most of the time, there is nothing beyond that bonus. It's nice, but strip away the mario and it's really short-lived.
Woah! Super Sea Serpent! That was really cool, the art style especially. Was impressed by lots of things beyond that. The effect on the water as you moved through it was really clever, too. Great job!
If that shooty sfx doesn't ever fit western at all. Well done, though. I'm usually pretty anti this kinda art style as it's mostly used in conjunction with not having much of an idea of game design but this is a step above that.
Galagan's Island, eh? Wonder what that's a reference to. Also wonder why your second screenshot is of you uploading the game to Itch. I'm afraid I can't say much about the game, as it kept controlling itself in very odd ways and left me unable to play.
Amazing. I wonder of giving that first night such an annoying voice in order for the player to try and kill him was intentional, as that sure was my first experience of success here. Great one, 5's across the board.
I was drawn in by the art style. First thing to bother me even before opening the game: You might want to use something other than megacloud to host your game, like an actual video game portal. Then, the music was absolutely horrendous. The game is still called "test_grayscale" in the task bar and the keys showing the controls in the first screen are Q and D? These aren't even opposite of eachother. I'm sorry, but I don't think this is up to par.
Great ideas! Did change the game according to your suggestions, as I agree completely.
I honestly think people prone to epileptic shocks shouldn't be playing unfinished indie jam games as a general rule.
Eh, workin in pico-8 got kinda stale after a while. You don't always always wanna use the same 16 colors + resolution as every other pico user. It's a cool thing, I'm just oversaturated with it's content at the moment.
Crawl is great, but I didn't get inspired my a game evoking retro aesthetics as much as they got inspired by their love for retro games just as I.
Hah, that's a really high number! I was wondering what the end screen would look like if you got a ridiculously high score and it would further reach into the graphic, but I never had the patience to go much further beyond a couple thousand.
Wow, another PICO-8 success story!
