First Pico-8 game, been pretty amazed at what some of you are able to pull off. Started off trying to implement a grid-like movement system like StarTropics and went from there. Spent a bit too much time trying to cram in some flashy effects, but I eventually saw my ideas through.
The music and some of the polish here is really good! The title screen is so cool.
The gameplay is a bit sluggish though. Allowing the player move in the direction pressed without making the character turn first without moving would help a lot. Just increasing the speed of movement would help so much. While holding X makes the movement slightly faster, it still feels unresponsive/annoying.
Anyway, great job your first pico8 game, the boss at the end was pretty cool!
