Hello, I'm Wish Volo. I made a game about sorting orbs.
And it's in PICO-8!
old versions
Z/C/N/Tab/Lshift to swap / "yes"
X/V/M/Q/A to cancel combotimer / "no"
Enter pauses (you're gonna have to hold it to bring up the PICO-8 pause menu)
It's got four gamemodes!
- Infinite: sort forever
- Blitz: sort quickly for a high score in a short time
- Clear: get as many capsules cleared as quickly as you can
- Knockout: splitscreen multiplayer
It's also got 12 tracks of music (5 casual, 4 tense, 2 KO)!
It's also got a little bit of contrast assistance. It's there.
You can also change the combotimer length and the orbcount with no penalty :)
Oh, and it's on itch.io too. https://wish-volo.itch.io/orbsort
if you don't mind, check it out for a little bit!
last note: This version of the game is only on Lexaloffle / Splore. The A version is found only on itch.io. If either version is found anywhere else, it’s been copied. Have a nice day :)
@aKidCalledAris, I will tell you now. In Lexaloffle we are a nation of educators and learners.
Please post your program HERE, in Lexaloffle, that we may enjoy it and learn from your fine coding and game development methods and experience.
update (literally no BBS thing) -> p64.0
p64.0 has everything from the itch.io version (a64.0) except it's all BBS IDs
enjoy my amazing, high quality code
(i'm actually pretty happy with how i handled the music thing. at some point in time i should also put together how exactly i shoved so much music in the game.)
(eventually.)
it's come to my attention i did the worst job ever of porting it to BBS and will fix this eventually.
to exit the tutorial you'll need to hit the pause button on the side of the web thing.
also music is fricking broken
This is really quite nice, @aKidCalledAris. It's also turn-based so that gets my vote right away. I'm not seeing any other games you've posted - so this being the first, welcome to Pico-8 and I am certain we can learn and expect great things from you.
Gold star duly earned !
Did you know that the second O will match your selected orbset when playing Orbsort?
update (v1.0 / p64.0) -> (v1.1 / p68.0)
MUSIC IS FIXED NOW!
It turns out that reload doesn't work very well with BBS. Keep that in mind, multicart devs!
Instead, I put code into the files that the game was reloading from, that essentially did the same thing.
memcpy(0x8000,0x0000,0x4000)
poke(0x4300,1)
load("#wvm_orbsort_sort") |
I did end up disabling the soundtrack menu, because I feel like that'd be a lot of hassle and I don't want to deal with hassle right now.
Oh, and there's a bit of UI tweaks because. uH. I wanted to make some UI tweaks. and the current "p64 p12 p69" versioning is a bit weird so i put in a more normal "v1.1"
Plus there's a piracy screen because I'm A Paranoid Poopy Head.
i'm mainly just worried about me not getting my Recognition™
anyway yeah that's it! ENJOY THE MUSIC BUT ACTUAL THIS TIME
