[48x8] |
Important! I actually made this version ages ago, but I published it as a separate cartridge for some reason. Anyways, here's the new version.
An arcade-y game based on the Mario Bros. Game and Watch.
This is the second version of my first PICO 8 game. Hope you enjoy it!
How to Play
Move both workers to carry the products up the conveyor belts. Don't let them fall!
Alternatively, control one worker and have a friend control the other in a sort of co-op!
In later levels you will also need to keep track of the winch and siren.
The winch will slowly drop. Too far, and it will break. Move the guy on the right up to the wheel on the top to raise it back up.
Steam will build up over time, as indicated by the siren. Once the siren turns red, the guy on the left must hit the button on the bottom to release it all. Too late, and it will explode!
New things!
You can now save and view highscores! In addition:
Different products
|
[8x8] |
|
[8x8] |
Bonuses
|
[24x8] |
The second appears if you made a delivery without dropping anything. Collect it for extra points.
The third acts much like the first, but will return if delivered. Keep it going for a bunch of points!
Powerups
|
[32x8] |
The wrench will give a life to both workers.
The pipe will open the pipe on the right, allowing you to see ahead.
The weight will raise the winch for you.
The flame will pause the fire valve for a moment.
Controls
This guy:
|
[8x8] |
The other guy:
|
[8x8] |
You don't need to press a button for them to do something, they'll do it if they're in the right spot.
These controls make more sense on keyboard than on controller. You can swap them in the main menu if needed.
You may also pause with [Left] or [Right].
Other things
The controls are now saved between sessions.
There also may or may not be a title screen secret.
I didn't get around to testing the powerups very much so they may be buggy. I also didn't get around to tweaking the difficulty, so feedback is appreciated. I can't guarantee I'll get around to it though
The original game and watch this one would be inspired by is called cement factory not just Mario Bros
Very good job. I can see a huge amount of love went into this. It's a little odd to control at first (brainf*ck) but after getting used to it it's a nice game. Also love the graphics and sounds as well as the animations in general. Well done.
love this game! agree with above, gfx and animations are awesome, and very addicting
i'm playing on a console so i have to swap the controls, my one request is that this setting would persist in cartdata! otherwise i have to remember to switch it between each game
(and also +1 to what you already listed, increasing difficulty and high score!) also could imagine power-up type things, maybe like a special item that moves through extra quickly but rewards you somehow when you successfully pack it?
@eeooty Thanks! Saving the controls between sessions is a good point.
Also the idea of different item types is very interesting, I'll have to have a think about that.
One thing that could be done to improve the mobile experience is to swap the X and O buttons, right now pressing X on mobile (the bottom button) moves the character up. Regardless, this is a really cool game.
