You have 80 seconds and 6 health points to make it around the world! Can you do it?! (Probably, yes.)

Up and Down Arrows to select your choice. Z to choose! Some choices will lose you some body parts. Lose your head and you lose the game!

Link is to HTML version. It should be playable on most platforms.

This game is made in Pico 8 (http://www.lexaloffle.com/pico-8.php) Originally intended for the 48 hr Compo time constraints and some fails with file transfers pushed the deadline into the 72hr Jam. A good practice for learning this tiny gaming suite and it was really enjoyable to make.

The writing was really comedic! :laughing: As a Canadian, I appreciated that you could travel from Calgary via Mountie.

Good use of the PICO-8!

Really nice game, I also liked the pacing of it although it was a bit stressfull. ;)

Interesting game. I'd wonder how it would play if it would be turn based. Then reading the story would not be limited by the time (which kinda is problem now), but time would be spent on chosen travel method.

Great work in any case :) Cool game!

Enjoyed the options! I died with the catapult the first time around which was funny. Made it the second time.

Thanks all for the comments and feedback! For a much better game experience much like this check out the inspiration of it "80 Days" on Steam! (Great game with lots more story and time to read)
