A Deer Against Hunters

Controls

The Left and Right Arrow Keys are used to steer the deer left and right.

Z and X are used to make the deer jump.

You can reset the game by using Enter and selecting Reset Cart.

Rules

The deer can jump and move left and right. The objective is to dodge the Hunter's shots and reach the end of the meadow, to safety. You get more points from the amount of road you manage to cover.

DISTANCE

The deer races toward the end of the meadow. The slider at the bottom of the screen indicates how far you are from reaching it. The closer to the right-side of the screen you are, the faster you'll go toward the destination.

SIGHT

The hunter is aiming at the deer. The sight attempts to follow you smoothly. When it flashes, it's ready to shoot! Avoid being in the way of the following explosion, or your game is over.

STUN

The deer will stumble and be briefly stunned if it hits obstacles. It's dangerous to be stunned while the sight is active, so avoid obstacles!

FENCE

They appear from the right side of the screen. If you jump over them, you will get extra points when they disappear off the left side. You will be stunned by hitting them.

BULLET

Flies in from the left side of the screen. Be careful when jumping, or you will be stunned by it.

LEAF

A kind gift of nature. Collect them for extra points to your score!

Behind The Scenes

This game took about one week of work to finish. I am happy to be able to post a completed PICO-8 game in here!

Needless to say, I was in a very strong Bambi mood when I started making this game. I've also read the original Bambi novel! Fantastic things.

It's the main reason I decided to give this game a good ending. It would've been an infinite runner with only dying as a game over.
