Night-Ride
About
Drive at high speed through traffic and survive the dangers you'll encounter. Will you make it through the night?
You control a car in order to dodge incoming cars through 8 completely different levels. Each level has its own new type of vehicles or obstacles. A new ability is unlocked after a couple of levels ( won't spoil it for you ).
There is a surprise for you at the end of the game.
DevelopmentThe game was developed in PICO-8, a fantasy console that exists only in software but has almost the same limitations as the retro consoles back in the ~80s. Due to these limitations I was able to squeeze only 8 levels in the game. The cartridge of the game with all the game code, sounds and graphics can fit in a very small .PNG image.
Pico 8 does not have built-in particle effects, sprite rotation functionality or physics / collision detection. So I had to build my own methods, from scratch. Although the levels might seem procedurally generated only the visual aspect of the traffic is randomly changed each time you play.
