Damn this game is hard! I love the mechanic of picking poisonous carrots and it inverts your controls, it really gives the feeling of dizzyness. Nice work!


Funny little retro game!

Nice, the embedded version did not have any sound, but the external one did.
I like the source code as an image! your entry is way less verbose than mine (about 1k lines) it would not fit and would be ugly!

The black carrot mechanic makes the game!

Great job!

So cute! i like this style

The poisoned carrot is a fun idea, and I like how it also changes the bunny's expression and idle animation. A nice little game that feels finished.

I got to 285 score! Love the game! Got this nostalgic theme to it, very cute!

This game is ~~part of a complete breakfast~~ really nice and polished. I'd say there's some potential for more mechanics, but it's actually complete as it is. Bonus points for the source code that fits on the screen!

I had fun, but I wish there was more to it. Maybe a magic carrot that makes your rabbit bulk up and knock out tractors, like the special dots in pacman?

I love this! It truly has the vibes of a classic arcade. The core mechanic is simple but very addictive, and the grey carrot hazard works great. Graphics and SFX work well and the whole game just feels very polished.

Woaw, I love this game! It has a 80's arcade feel, and the overall game is fun to play and very polished!

My highest score is 205:

The game is very addictive and great in its current state, but if you're looking for suggestions:
- Maybe you could add some music tune during gameplay (the game starting jingle is nice, something along these lines.
- The tractors wheels would look cooler if animated
- Maybe it would make the game interesting if the grey carrots also gave you points? For example like 2 points? That way, you could try to collect them too, at the risk of being reversed and thus more likely to die. I don't know, maybe this is a silly suggestion, as the game currently works very well (it's brutal with 3 tractors! :))

Congrats for this excellent entry!

My score: 143.

When the second tractor came out, it scared the heck out of me! When the third was out, I knew I was soon not long for this world. How could a farmer be so cruel as to harvest the carrots that I'm about to eat?!

I usually love PICO-8 games, and this is no exception. Nice and simple and elegant, looks nice, and pretty fun! My only complaint was moving got a bit painful after a while (too much repeated button pressing), so having a key repeat / auto-move when you held down an arrow would have been nice.

451.
Let it be known. It took FIVE tractors to stop that pesky rabbit...!

Pretty simple idea, but I did notice some clever ways you mixed it up too. The bad carrots that invert controls, the extra tractors... heck, I had the tractors spawning on the left side of the screen too by the 400 mark. Pretty cool.

I love the rabbit sprite; bunnies are the best. The animations were absolutely adorable.

The rabbit explosions got a laugh out of me and this looks and feels great. I got 112 points before the tractors took me out and had fun doing it. Great submission!

Love it! PICO games are always favourites of mine. Idea is simple and works really well. I would suggest being able to hold down keys to keep moving. Great game!

A very addictive game. Feels completely finished and simple :)

Ahah I was not ready for the rabbit explosion!
Good job, really like the retro feeling of this game, it feels finished :D

Nice job, my kind of game. Love the arcade style and fast paced action. Cute sprites and cool source code pic. Good job!

This was lots of fun, I liked the pacing and what happens when you eat a poisoned carrot.

The poison carrot collecting mechanic that inverts your controls is brilliant and adds a delightful layer of challenge that really gets you on the edge of your seat! 🤪 The retro graphics and cute animations create a fun atmosphere that reminds me of classic arcade games. I had a great time trying to dodge the tractors while munching on those carrots! While it can be challenging, it’s incredibly addictive. Overall, fantastic work – this game is polished and enjoyable!

I really like the Pico-8 style! Nice little entry!

Very cute and nostalgic.

Nice little game!


The Best.


nice game ! I love the retro look and the twists like the carrot that reverses your controller :) nice job !

BTW I think this tiny creature died because of all the food it ate in short time, instead of the trucks :eyes: :D

It's like an arcade and it's cool

Very cute, very fun. The purple and grey weren't the most colourblind friendly - couldn't quite tell the difference and wasn't sure why my controls were inverting til I re-read the instructions. Great game apart from that though!!

yet another fantastic pico game lol. I love the retro arcade feel of this game! art and sounds are super simple but incredibly effective. hit 180 and i gave up only because i had no more free time. Great Job!

I really liked this game! It's awesome!

love the art so much!!

Nice tiny game with neat idea. In terms of balance the difficulty changes a bit too slow. In addition gameplay feels a bit too repetitive and lacks some additional hazard and goals, like spoiled carrots which stuns the player. Visually the game feels like good old games.

Pretty cool. I love that you put the whole sourcecode on an image. Unfortunately I'm colorblind and couldn't tell the difference between grey and purple carrots, making the game a little bit more difficult :D

I really like this game. Simple concept, minimal but very well executed (definitely crazy what is possible with Pico-8)! Had to try for a high score but I was caught off-guard when the first tractors came from the left side. :sweat_smile:

nice game

Fun little game! Just as I was on my last life a few minutes in I was thinking "It would be cool if the tractors started coming from the left side, to make it more challenging." And then, well...


Great work!

Excellent ! Very fun game to play, very retro vibes. I was surprised to see you can walk between Lanes and pick up carrots from both at the same time !
Being partially colourblind, it was very difficult for me to distinguish between purple and grey carrots, which led to some confusion sometimes.
Congratulations on a very polished game!

I do not what Pico-8 is, but like the style of this game. Nice polished game with different animation & pretty sound. Well done!

Lovely little game, it plays incredibly smooth in its simplicity, great job!

Cute game! My bunny died, but the explosion was really pretty!!

Classic yet super effective gameplay! And it just looks super cute 😊

Super simple and elegant game, yet surprisingly addictive. The twist of the tractors together with the grey carrots really make you think how to navigate.

My biggest problem was that trying to hold down direction keys there was a delay before moving, so I ended up tapping the controls and oh boy is my RSI going to regret playing this game for too long tomorrow.

I scored 116. I think I can beat it.
The game is efficient, it works well and it's fun. I like this kind of games during game jam. It's immediate fun, I have an objective and it plays well. Very good entry, one of my favorite so far.

yea, pico-8 submission on ld56! pretty nice design and logic, and all of that in 12 hours! :D

140 points yea!

Really interesting to see the code for Pico 8. Thanks for sharing! :sunglasses:

It'd be cool to maybe have a heart restoring carrot, once every new difficulty wave - or bonus points for the drunk carrots that reverse the controls - if you survive :smile:



Great style! I especially loved the explosion when you run into a tractor XD

Nice little retro game! Really satisfying game-play loop and I love the sounds :) Well done!

I really like a retro vibe

I really like a retro vibe

Ahh that's cute! Really didn't want my bunny to be squished but it felt like suddenly my movement was inverted (??) Was it planned for difficulty? Did I eat a wrong carrot? Played again and it happened again - I press down button and suddenly go up instead! While before it was normal >_<

But it's pretty cool to make a game in just 12 hours, wow! I think for that amount of time it's pretty cool. It looks complete and has everything it needs, which makes it feel polished. I like the tiny look of the game and the cute bunny/rabbit/hare whoever he is. Graphics are simple but cute <3

P.S. Played again and maybe it's gray carrot doing this? I ate it once and nothing happened. Then ate it and got movement reversed. Or was it a coincidence?

Fun game here! The drunkess mechanic made the game even more interesting.

Cute little game! I wish the gray carrot gave a bunch of points to incentivise a risky play

The screenshot with the pico8 code is mindblowing! A simple but addictive game, for sure. And the visuals are perfect for this type of game!

Simple but great game !

Love to see a Pico-8 game in the compo, and you really nailed that arcade-y feel! It kept me playing for a good while - I think I made it up to around when 4 tractors were showing up. The gray carrots are a cool mechanic, but I often didn't realize I got one until I'd made several bad moves; a sound effect might've helped out there. Either way, it was a really fun time!

Love the game! Very nostalgic with the art and audio and everything. Great job first COMPO entry!!!

woah! pico-8 code looks funky!!

simple old style game. great for compo.


Was quite fun, pretty simple mais effective ! I just whish there was an indicator for where the tractors would come from :/

Nice little game, loved this rabbit =) retro vibe is awesome!

Being high on grey carrots saved from being run over by the tractors twice in a row because I was pressing the keys too fast :sweat_smile:

I'm partial to games with rabbits, and yours was simple, but well executed with nice pixel graphics. Congrats!

Really cool game! I love the overall retro mood! You can see it's made with love

This was a great entry. Despite the simplicity and limitations of pico it manages to have charm and excitement! I found escaping the tractors to be fun and a good challenge. Managed to get a high score of 111. Keep on making games :smiley:

Solid retro vibes game!

I think there could be more grey carrots for increased confusion and to balance that maybe a little warning sign that shows the incoming tractor on a lane ahead of time so that you are less likely to fall into playing it safe in the middle of the map.

Nicely done given the limited time! Graphics and sound are cute and effective, game is easy to understand and playable, though a little monotonous. Nice touch to include the source as a PNG.

So cool that you were able to make this in 12 hours with so little source code, really impressive! The game was also really good, quite a lot going on for something so simple. I really liked the art, it's super simple but really well done and the colors work nicely together.

Great work!

Haha that was a lot of fun! Such a nice and simple game, great job.


Nice P8 game! Simple but cool arcade vibe. Congrats

Simple, yet fun. Quite challenging, eventually.

125 top score! great Pico 8 game! Love the rabbit exploding graphics, simple but fun arcade style game, great submission!

Fun addicting little game :) I always love playing a Pico8 cart, fills me with joy

Cute game, simple and sweet, got so jumpscared by exploding from a left tractor cuz I was focusing too much LOL -Swan

Nice game! Simple but very addictive, I played a couple of times, thats my best score:

Top notch retro feeling : )))
Also, the source code is a mind-blow! :O

Nice little arcade game! Always glad when I find Pico8 games.

Maybe you could add more effects! I liked that one of the carrots confused you, I'm sure the game would benefit from more effects! Speed up/down, extra life, score multiplier, faster trucks... lots of different carrots with many effects!

Also, maybe movement should be even more old-school? As in you move from carrot-position to carrot-position. That would make it quite frantic!

All in all, nice entry :) (oh, lost my last life because I spawned UNDER A TRUCK) XDDD

very great compo game !!! it will be even better with a little music and a little more challengs :)



Really cool entry, and very well executed! The concept is simple and fun. Loved the addition of the funky carrot that makes it harder to avoid trucks, especially since you'd have to look twice and make sure you don't misstep when it's over! I wish there was a bit more variety of vegetables and trucks maybe, but considering this was made in 48 hours it already feels complete! Congrats :)


395! I would have gotten further if not for accidentally snagging that gray carrot right in front of a truck. :laughing:

That said, a few accessibility notes - the shape of the gray carrot should be at least slightly different to aid distinguishing it for those with color blindness. Additionally, there should be some indication that collecting the gray carrot is a negative event - like a sound AND a visual indicator e.g. particle/animation/icon on the player character. The sound, by itself, wouldn't alert deaf players or those playing without sound.

Other than those notes, it was a fun small game!

Nice simple game. Well done! The sound effects are quite minimalist but it fits the game well. The graphics are also great. I got 286.

.

When I got hit for the first time I stg that was like a jumpscare for me lol. It would be nice to aurally or visually indicate when you picked up a grey carrot even just a little tiny bit to make it easier to react to. It would be slick to accept asdw controls as well. Amazing!

Score: 252

Nice to see another Pico-8 game! :)
It was a fun little game to try. Maybe the intro screen could have displayed the carrots and told that the grey ones make you sick. But then again, maybe discovering it is more fun.
Great little entry!

Wow! The game is so wonderful! Keep making games!

Got 187, and it's really challenging! The gameplay is super addictive—simple but fun. Love it!

Nice little game, wasn't excepting the reverse command, and it was difficult to see the difference between the grey and purple one ? (Not sure about the color as I'm colorblind), but fun nonetheless.

Good job !

This is very, very good! I love me some Pico8 games tbh! Simple but fun gameplay and it looks fabulous on the virtual console! Also I wasn't expecting the rabbit to literally explode when the tractor hits them! I was thinking it might be a cute "oh no face" animation, hehe. Unexpected but very cool!

Grey carrots are bad mmmm k? I couldn't tell if the purple gave me a boost, but I like to think they did. :smile: The rabbit explosion was really well done and the sounds were SPOT ON!!! So good!! I loved this entry overall. :carrot: :rabbit:

Great game, the simple mechanic was really addictive. It reminded me of games you can find on those cheap consoles with 100 games (in a good way - simple but really entertaining). The pace of progress also felt nice.
The gray carrot was a bit hard to spot, probably making it a shade lighter would help, but also it depends if you want it to be easily to spot. Also, it is a bit unintuitive, that the tractor takes three vertical spaces, it just looks like it would take two (at least for me).
For future ideas: maybe eating two gray carrots could cancel the effect.

I ruined my keyboard trying to break 400, but it was worth it. Fun game!

Things like getting hit near the side without warning, and spawning infront of a tractor felt a bit harsh at first, but I came to enjoy that risk management side of it and the resulting carefree flow state that it calls for. Really cute graphics and well put together. I'll come back to this one for sure.

Whoooooooo 122 points lol, accidentally ran into two tractors in a row there. This was so cute, and my goodness, a pico8 game! I loved the animations and the art, it was all so adorable, and this reminded me of the old-school atari games in the best of ways.
