Pico's Big Adventure

A little demake or port of Terry's Big Adventure, a game I first saw on C64 (no sound, the longest loading time, barely anything resembling a menu screen).

Only one level and scarce sounds implemented in this version!

Instructions:

Play with basic pico8 commands: arrow keys and x/c

• X: jump
• C: launch yoyo
• x + down arrow: throw stones (if you have any)
• down arrow: collect small shrubs
• stomp on thin platforms for goodies
• avoid water and poisonous fungi!
• some enemies hide key drops

This project:

It all started for the Retro Platform Jam #2, but the deadline caught me at this "sort of working" stage :(

This project is under development, and servers as training on pico8, even if I'm starting to think about doing somthing enjoyable/playable with it.

Graphics are where I want them to be (it's not a per pixel recreation, obvs), sounds are just placeholders, enemy are there with really simple behaviours (they avoid falling over ledges), and a level storage system is under way, with some function to save levels that for pico users can mean easy editability.
