I'm amazed at what you can accomplish in PICO-8. The game is super fluid and really fun to play! It has a nice balance of difficulty and fits the theme perfectly. Love the graphics, particle and screen effects. Awesome job overall once again!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Ryu","author_uid":"1013933","time":"2019-10-09T09:55:48Z","epoch":1570614948,"modified":1570614948,"text":"@karlipoppins Looks really good, awesome implementation of the idea, but the controls are a let down","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Trusty","author_uid":"1121278","time":"2019-10-09T22:36:00Z","epoch":1570660560,"modified":1570660560,"text":"As said before controls were a bit difficult but the game has a really neat feel.

The enemies, all the platforms like: leaves, flowers and strawberries, the different parts you collect, all the power ups you get in between retries with gameplay effects and visuals.\n\nI have seen lots of games earlier that have a shop \/ upgrade screen when you die or complete a level, but it's nice to just get it and when most of the upgrades have a direct gameplay effect (or fun cosmetics) instead of being a numerical addition. Collecting the parts x generated levels also works very well, instead of the standard formula survival\/progression x generated level. Because you will eventually beat the level because of the upgrades and number of tries.\n","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"BananaBobBert","author_uid":"1128428","time":"2019-10-09T23:50:17Z","epoch":1570665017,"modified":1570665017,"text":"it looks great and i like the idea but the controls especially the aiming is quite difficult","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"deepnight","author_uid":"1004795","time":"2019-10-10T16:58:42Z","epoch":1570726722,"modified":1570726722,"text":"The amount of items you can equip is crazy, as usual, for a compo entry :) My only major grief is with the controls: why do you create complicated control schemes when simple solutions would just work (ie. the gun aiming)? :P \n\nAlso, many items have super obscure effects and if you skip reading the description (happened accidentally a few times), you cannot guess what effect they have. I would definitely recommend less items and more polish on controls, but that's a very personal approach here ^^\n\nAnyway, I probably died 20-25 times before beating the game but it was still definitely fun :)","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"frenchie","author_uid":"1002401","time":"2019-10-11T06:03:52Z","epoch":1570773832,"modified":1570773832,"text":"Beat it in 9 deaths (first attempt)! I'll have to echo the others' sentiment that the controls aren't great. I loved that you could pick up the enemies and once I realized this I stopped using the gun since it was so much easier.
