Battletoads Origins by J-Nat

[raw]
made by J-Nat for LD34 (COMPO)
As an exotic tadpole you must eat flies to achieve your transformation.
Well, the growing part is not in the game since I don't have anymore time to work on the project right now.

This game was a nice excuse to learn pico-8 and see how I was fitting in the LD constraints, since it's the first time I join the party . I really had a blast !

However, the game is not finished yet, there is nothing to do once you ate all the flies. Next time I'll manage my time and make a complete one.

Controls are C and V to wiggle your tail. That's it...
Eat the flies.

Enjoy !

Big hudge thanks to NuSan and Samh for their good advices and kindness!

Seems unfinished as there was nothing to do once you ate the flies, but the controls are fun! And the art is pleasant. :)

Ho yeah, I should have said that in the title (I'll do that). The game is not finished. I'll give it a few more hours so that I can really call it a game ! Thanks for the kind comments !

Wish you added random flies and growing, would love that. At the moment it just takes a couple of seconds to finish :c Overall good score!

Nice start. My first LD I also had to post an unpolished game. The first is always the hardest!

Good work! It is a bit difficult to catch bees, sometimes I don't understand why I missed them. I hope you will finish the game :)

Flies are hard to catch because of a bug I corrected yesterday. Collision boxes where not aligned correctly.
I'll update a version but not now, I'll let people vote on the unfinished version ;)

It feels like C + V are the wrong way around?

I dig the island art.

Hey, nice ! I was testing my game with X and C from the beginning and I did not notice it was the other way around. One more thing to fix ! Thanks a lot !
