Lovely old-school game!

Is there a way to see the source code? I don't know PICO-8

PICO-8 is a great tool for making old-school games. : http://www.lexaloffle.com/pico-8.php
I might upload the source somewhere later, but you cannot see it via PICO-8's web player.

Platforming physics are a bit floaty to my taste, especially with the fixed jump height. And deaths are a bit harsh - gotta collect them all again! However, that said, loving the graphics, animation and of course... DAT SONG.

I enjoyed that! I really like the theme song :D If I had to say something I'd like to have it'd be faster walking and checkpoints - I'd gotten a lot of berries before I first fought a robot and died pretty quickly, and starting over was a little harsh.

Another great Pico-8 title! I really need to get into programming something for this.

Strangely quantized walking and shooting sounds are very nice :)

Thanks you guys for your words.
I think I should add some more fun things and tweak the level.
Also, I should think about continue feature. I was too affected by way roguelikes.
Anyway, I'm so glad that you guys like my tiny song :)

@geekdrums
I didn't intend to play that strange rhythm. On the pico-8 app (not web player), it plays walking sound in monotonous rhythm.

Love the 'get the berries' music.

Very nicely made game and fun to see something for an alternative platform. Shame there wasn't music in the cave too.
For me, the jump/fire buttons felt back to front, as I'm used to having jump on Z, but oh well

Amazing! Loved the yoshi's story style collection of the berries on the screen, and everything from the level design to the music was perfect. Nice work!

beautiful game. I really LOVED the sound effects fitting to text e.g. "collect the ber-ries" => "beep beep bebeeep" :)

Very fun to play. A bit frustrated to get only one life, though!

Pretty neat game with a cool digging mechanic and some nice sound effects. I would have liked it if the platforming controls were tighter, including faster-moving character, and allowing easier edge jumping. I did not find the buttons Z and X to be intuitive: I often confused the two and took the wrong action.
