kipos-pico8 by dasilvacontin

Unfinished game.
Arrow keys and Z.
I suggest to play, and then to read the following text, which explains what I wanted to do.
You would start with two creates, a tree, and a shovel. The goal is to handle the largest population of Kipos. They grow in number because sex. They are trouble-makers, so the more you have, the harder it gets to manage. They need to eat, all of them, so the more you have, the more trees you'll need to be able to feed them all. In order to have more trees, you'll have to plant apples. In order to do so, you'll have to pick up an apple and keep it safe from anyone trying to eat it. Make a hole, put the apple inside, cover hole. All this without a Kipos falling inside the hole and/or eating the apple. There's also bats at night that steal your Kipos or apples. You can 'shoo' them away, and chase them if they have picked something. Not sure how to avoid them from picking up your Kipos in the first place. Maybe you'd have a stable to keep your Kipos protected at night.
Unfinished because: - Shovel can't dig - Kipos, although they eat, they don't actually have a hunger need - Bats can't pickup stuff
Worked on it 6-7h. - Twitter thread of progress during dev: https://twitter.com/dasilvacontin/status/937348387938152454 - Twitch stream of the dev: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/206380577
Fyi, not so much interested on ratings. Would love to know any thought this causes you, instead :). Hope you enjoy it! <3
