The Game

You are a little guy with the capability to switch between two worlds. With the knowledge you gain between both worlds, you must pass through 10 levels to reach the end!

Note: your stats are shown at the end of your run, try to beat your time! Or, how few jumps can you beat the game in?

My stats:

Fastest time - 0:46 Fewest jumps - 61 Fewest deaths - 0 (duh)

About

I wanted to release a game, so I gave myself around two weeks to learn PICO-8 and make whatever came to mind.

I've tried to get into game dev multiple times over the past five or so years, each time getting further and further in a project before quitting. I have tried Unity and Godot, but always found myself way too overwhelmed with the engine to actually get my ideas down.

Recently, I thought to get into PICO-8 due to its limitations and focus on small scope games. I want to make games; and so far, the limitations of this fantasy console have allowed me to express my creativity while not falling victim to scope creep.

To be honest, there are already many things I would change from an implementation standpoint, but instead of being a perfectionist on this project, I just want to start my next one and put my new lessons learned into practice over there.

I have many other game ideas that I will probably make in PICO-8 before moving on to another engine. I learned a lot from this project and I am happy with how it came out. Super excited to start working on the next one!
