Very cool feeling!

Thank you! :smile:

It's a very good game! Cool sound effects and I like the shake when you loose.

Thank you so much! Yeah, I'm happy with how the screen shaking turned out. :smile:

Fun game! Reminds me a bit of Downwell. I could see myself playing this for a while.

@oeschmid Thanks! Yeah. It was inspired by Downwell, but I tried to make it a little more unique. :smile:

@eboatwright very nice gameplay and nice procedural generation, was it made by chunks or only objects?

Even harder than downwell :p still pretty good entry enjoyed my time playing it.

Really fun game! I loved the graphics and audio.

This was great, it is very challenging - perhaps the falling was too fast for me but it all came together really well! Great entry!

Very nice! Great overall entry. The only thing critical i would have to say is just that it seems copied from Downwell a little too much - but very well done nonetheless :)

Sometimes you get hit 3 times really quickly.. it'd be good if there was invulnerability frames.

A bit too much like Downwell but hey looks great and probably good practice

Yay Pico8 :)

It's fun to balance between preserving ammo and lives vs. taking the risk of going too fast. Played a few times to try to beat my score, although often accidentally pressed a button again after dying and then missing what my score was.

@bemmu Hm. I'll have to add like a delay to the end screen so you don't miss your score. :smile:

Thank you @alexanderzone @william-corrin @patvanmackelberg @lukeydev @pvp Thank you guys for your feedback!! :smile:

@hestrateja It was done with chunks. Just one above the camera one at the camera and one below the camera and you just move them once the camera goes off screen. :smile:

A very good gameplay, with this 8-bit style of pixel art that i love, it works just fine. I can se myself playing this game for a good time!

@jkgames Thank you! :smile:

Cool game, it was the right kind of challange!

Nice graphics, the pico-8 aesthetics is well executed. Felt like ammo were a bit too scarce tho, making the game a bit too hard for me x) I actually scored better when trying to avoid all obstacles instead of shooting.

Good job!

Nice entry. But way too fast for me :wink: ... it seems I'm getting too old for action-driven games :-)

A simple concept executed very well! I spent a lot of time seeing how far I could go! Great job!! :v:

phew, that fall speed is intense (I mean that in the best way possible)! I think some music would help increase the intensity even further. Also it was a bit hard to tell when my character took damage. overall fun game though! Pico-8 users unit!

really polished and juicy for a jam game... I think you nailed the Downwell feel cause I'm just as terrible at your game as I am at Downwell :P

@hotpaw @tombuston @thesnide @slimabob @alec thank you guys! :smile: I will probably release an update sometime with ammo more common and maybe some music.

Very effective graphics, animations and sounds effects! I think the tempo was a bit higher than I could comfortably manage, but that's definitely a tricky adjustment, it feels like being fast is a big part of this game's personality. Anyhow: good job!

@dpmzi Thank you! Yeah, I was going for a really fast arcade feel. If I update this, I should probably add an easier mode. :smile:

Everything was built very solid. The controls were nice, as well as the effects and everything. Felt polished. Unfortunately I found things to be going a bit too fast which made me not want to replay it that much.

@battlecat Thank you so much! :smile: Yeah alot of people has said it was too fast, so when I update this game, it'll have an easy mode. Thank you for your feedback! :smile:

funny but strange game

@galina Thanks! I'll take that as a complement! :sweat_smile:

Very fun game. The controls are very good and responsive. I like it.

@filipe-leal Thank you! :smile:

nice! the downwell inspiration shows through. good work :)

@squigglez Thank you! :smile:

This game looks nice as a game jame game.

The sounds are great, fits well with the theme.

This games reminds of other games like Downwell.

It's fun playing the game and trying to get a new score.

The graphics look polished and nice.

Some music would be nice. Not really humorous or moody.

Overall, Good game.

A very cool twist on Downwell, and impressive to see what you've done in PICO-8! The controls feel great and the sound of the rocket boots plus graphics makes for a stylish minimalist atmosphere. I do wish the item upgrades were a different color so they're more immediately discernable from the rocks, I had trouble recognizing them while blazing past. Otherwise a very cool little game and quite addicting!

This was quite a fun game. Took me a little time to realise that the blocks kill you. Because you said Downwell I kept thinking that I could land on the blocks XD. Once I understood, this was quite a fun game. I kinda wish that you had some way of slowing down though since it kinda felt a little too fast. Still, this was a damn fun game

Like the challenge! Controls feel pretty good and very fun to play :)

@witekwitek Thank you! I suck at making music, so that's why I didn't make some XD

@nice-gear-games Thank you so much! Yeah. If I update this game, I will definitely change the color of the pickups. :smile:

@badpiggy Thank you! Did you press Z to use your rocket boots?

@koningmathijs Thank you! :smile:

Nice simple artstyle, juicy effects and snappy controls! I liked it a lot!

nice one, looks like downwell

I'm really bad but its a very cool game ! sfx work pretty well, gg .

Neat little pico 8 game. Seems like a fun spin on the kinda downwell thing. Good Job!

@patsui Thank you! :smile:

@enricomandelli Thank you! Yeah that's what I was going for. :smile:

@nyanpierre Yeah. alot of people have been telling me it's hard. :sweat_smile:

@tsuk13 Thanks! :smile:

Tough but fun - it definitely made me keep wanting to try again

heyyy, such a fun game, I loved. I was playing for 20min moreless. The only thing that you could add in the game is LIFE, please please please, put some life to take, its too hard with only 3 hhahaha good game ;)

@randomhuman Thank you! :smile:

@felo07 Ok! I'll ad that to the list of stuff to add! :smile:

really cool! Clear downwell inspiration, but your own nice take on the concept. I love how fast it is; this is probably my favorite downwell-like I've played this jam. There's a bit of a broken strat where you hug either wall, shooting as necessary and collecting an occasional ammo pickup -- I think it'd be nice if some bricks were unbreakable. anyway, really nice work! love the graphics too

dang, I dunno what my high score is because the "restart" button is the same as the "shoot" button and i tried to shoot but died and then restarted instead. at least 8000 tho. Are there health pickups? I thought I saw some early on but when I needed them later i couldn't find any

(btw, I think your itch.io game is embedded at a bad size; it's skewing the pixels in the font if you're not playing in fullscreen. If you change it to 750x680 that should fix it -- that's the [recommended size (search for itch.io)](https://www.lexaloffle.com/pico-8.php?page=manual))

Nice game! Simple, but fun and easy to get into. I also like the three-color palette. I think the game could be more balanced by making the blocks only need one shot to break or making the player invincible for a little while after getting hit. But really nice game!

Very polished pico game!

@pancelor Thank you so much! :smile: I'm currently working on an update for the game, that I'll post after the rating ends, and I've added health pickups. I'll add unbreakable blocks to the list also! Yeah. That's on my list to add a cooldown to the game over screen. I'll go fix the resolution now! :smile: Thank you so much for all the feedback!


@caterpillar-games Thanks! I intended for breaking the blocks to be a kind of harder route to go, so I'm probably gonna leave them at 2 hits, but yeah. I tried to make the player be invinsible when getting hit, but it was bugged, so I'm gonna fix it in the update. Thanks for your feedback!


@cheesepencil Thank you! :smile:

Nice! I loved playing on my phone.

@txanevk Thanks! :smile:

Fun game, definitely see the downwell inspiration. The particle effects are really nice, and my high score was 4012

@dps2004 Thank you! :smile: That's a pretty high score!

Cool game, gameplay is tight, sounds and art fit very well. I got a little bit addicted!

I see the potential to expand this further, like having moving platforms or enemies of some kind, powerups, etc.

Keep up the good work!

Fun game, well polished, but I think there are many details that make it way harder to play than necessary. You have only 3 lives, there are no invincibility frames, the character falls really fast, if you want to slow down for a bit it costs you ammo, and you don't have a lot of it. Plus obstacles need multiple hits to be destroyed. At least in downwell you have a bit of control over the pace of the game, you can stop on a platform for a while. I think removing at least one of these difficulty would make the game way more enjoyable, because currently I cannot go further than a few screens down... It is too bad because the physics is really tight and the graphics are simple yet really well made, and it's exactly my kind of game so I want to play it !

This is a nice game, first PICO9 game I have ever played and I enjoyed. Really wouldn't know where to start on how to develop this so well done. Please rate my game if you find the time =)

Really fun and well done game. Qite difficult if you don't get an ammo pack very early in the game tho.
My best score was 3300 :|

@asdehielo Thank you so much! :smile:

@jrevel Thank you! :smile: Yeah. I tried to implement invinsibility frames, but there was a bug with it, and it didn't work. I've currently fixed it, but i'm waiting until voting ends. Yeah. I also added health pickups in the update, and also I slowed down the gravity. :smile: Thank you for so much feedback!

@deadmanjw Thank you! Yeah. You have to buy it at lexaloffle.com for $15. It's really nice software too! I'll check yours out! :smile:

@chrissx2 Thank you! :smile: I've reduced the difficulty, and added more pickups in the update, but I'm waiting on voting to end to publish the update. :smile:

Nice. Feel free to @me when it's updated. I would like to beat my old score :p

@chrissx2 Will do! :smile:

@eboatwright can't believe I missed this game. Great job making a classic. wonder if this works on iphone/backbone :-/

@prof-suarez Thank you! I think it does. :smile:

@chrissx2 I've updated it now! :smile:
