I had a dream last night, I was in a mushroom cave and all I could do was to walk. There were misterious potions lying around and each one of them gave me a certain ability. One made me jump the other made me dash around, but with every sip I felt how my body rottens from the poison I just drank. I tried to escape, but no matter how many keys I collected, I failed. I was dreaming... was I?

How to play:

  • your default move set is walk left and right
  • drink potions to gain additional abilities (jump, dash)
    • each potion is poisoned and you can eventually die from its effect
  • as long as your poison metter is filled, your abilities are working
    • refill the poison to maintain abilities
    • don't die
  • collect keys to open new areas and progress in game
  • there is antidote potion that removes poison
  • hearts restores some HP

The game was done during Coco game jam and it is my first game done in Pico-8 (and also my very first experience with Pico-8). I have learned a ton, but platformer was quite hard challenge for me to do as a first game in this engine. Also I had just about 2-3hours for gamedev every day, so I plan to make some post-jam version of the game as well. 

If you' d have any feedback or just want to let me know, how the game was for you, I will be more than glad to read it.

Thank you for your time and till next time,

Jin
