This is a proof of concept! It's a platformer where you use buoyancy to gain altitude. The deeper you dive, the more altitude you gain when popping out of the water! Kinda like a floatie in the pool.
Use left and right to move. Press X to dive deeper (when submerged) and O to move upwards (also while submerged). On land, press O to jump. Try to collect all the gems.
Nice, you figured it out! One thing I would recommend is to see if you can split
player.y+=player.dy player.x+=player.dx |
so that it moves x, checks x, moves y, then checks y, something like
player.y+=player.dy if player.dy>0 then ... elseif player.dy<0 then ... end player.x+=player.dx if player.dx<0 then ... elseif player.dx>0 then ... end |
which should hopefully make the collision more solid.
(also, use tab to intent, not space! I recommend going into config.txt in pico-8's appdata folder and changing tab_width to 2 and draw_tabs to 1)
This is really amazing. I love the water effects. I'd like to implement something like that in my next project.
