Nice work! Love Pico 8 :) Pretty cool little game, the variation of tools really adds to it, although I didn't really get what to pick up with what tool from the start. Love the graphics. Would've been nice to have some simple background music tho, but understandable considering time limit!

Keep it up! :thumbsup:

Nice little game, the tool changing mechanic mainly had me mashing the X button but it was good fun ^^

I like it, a fun little game. Love the pixel style and sound feedback. Was easier in the second go when I remembered the order of the tools.

Really a fun short game. I would play a bunch of mini games like this. Graphics are nice! Some music would have been cool.

Cool little game. After figuring out what you can collect with what and which tools are needed the game became really neat. It also only took me one try to figure everything out so I think that the hud and the art is clear enough so that people can figure it out on their own.

Well done :)

It is simple and nice. I was missing some comparison with high scores of others player (either I overlooked it, or it isn't there) - would be good to have it as a motivation!

Keep up the good work!

I liked it that you limited each playthrough to 1 minute. That kept it from going too slow. Feels a bit like an old game and watch game. I had a few minutes of fun =)

Agreed with some of the other comments in here, the simplicity and time limit really added to the game. It took me a little bit to figure out what the point of changing between the different tools was (originally thought that I was missing a 'use' key or something), but it's a nice simple game that I played all the way through. Landed on 200 points. Great work!

Absoultely nailed the retro aspect. From the start menu to the end screen, it absolutely looks like something that would be on the NES. Gameplay and sound matched the feel too!

I really liked these faces, thanks. It was a little unclear what Greta needed, but it seems I realized later . Scored 195 points. And I had a lot of fun, thank you.

Impressive to have made in pico8 in this time frame! Very well done. It took me a few false starts to figure out what was going on, but once I'd done that I played a few more times to try to improve my score. Simple mechanics, but the art was awesome, and the sound effects communicated what was going on very well. Solid polished gameplay, implemented in a technically impressive way. Great work.

Nice game! Even knowning what to do, sometimes its was very hard to collect the itens with the correct tools cause them were pretty fast sometimes! Its a lovely game, i liked the art and the concept! Good Job (I must try Pico-8 one day :) ) \o/

An interesting mini-game. Great visual style. It's a pity that the controls are on the keys. Special thanks for the web build!
