This is great! It got featured on Coolmath and everything, congrats!

Epic little platformer you have here, @noppa ! The shell-slide method to jump further at the loss of direction control adds an interesting and original element to it.

Superbly done ! Gold star work.

COWABUNGA, DUDE!!!

Has someone set up a speedrun.com page? If not, I'll do it.

Thanks.

Did you use Nerdy's Teacher platforming framework?

@MerpleLeaf @CrownDeluxe @dw817 Thanks, I appreciate it!

@Matcha155 The game is built on top of that, yup!

Interesting, for me it always seemed wonky.

There were of course plenty of changes and additions, but it was a great starting point and inspiration for me. Also for example the tutorial's character design worked so well, I was compelled to stick pretty close to my first modification of it, even if something more original would have been nice in principle.

I'd be happy to discuss the implementation more if you or anyone else has questions (though it has mostly been 2 years so I'm a bit rusty on some details). Feel free to also DM or ping on the PICO-8 Discord for example.

This reminds me of the blue shell power up in NSMB on the ds! I love the mini Raphael! Great Game 10/10

don’t know what i missed

freaking awesome

Glad someone bumped this to the top of the board! Great title, love the graphics and the controls and mechanics are really well done. Sometimes Pico-8 makes me want to see a full version of the game, and this is definitely one of those times, though even as is, it's a satisfying finish!
