Instructions:

  • Use left and right arrow keys to move.
  • Try to land on the platforms to score a point.
  • Current score is on left and high score is on right.

Coding goals:

  • A PICO-8 game in 500 characters or less for the TweetTweetJam 8.
  • Sound in the game, just a blip in this case.
  • Scoring and keep a high score
  • User controls.
  • Game mechanics, hopefully that are a little fun.
  • An ending to the game. Falling to the bottom or hitting the top resets the current score making it a new game.

Very clever avoiding a game-over screen and restart, and just clearing the score on "death".

I didn't realize the character "웃" icon looked so good.  Will have to try those in the future.
