Hi, this is my first Pico-8 game. It's a remake of the Dreamcast game ChuChu Rocket. This is a multiplayer game, best played with 2 controllers. The game contains 16 levels.
I've tried to make the code easy to follow so others can examine it and learn the techniques.
Instructions
Use the arrow keys to move your cursor.
Press the O button and a direction to place an arrow on the grid. Mice and cats will follow the arrows.
Steer the mice into your rocket (the red or green circle), and steer the cats into your opponent's rocket.
Mice score 1 point, or 50 points for a gold mouse. Cats remove 1/3 of your total score.
The round ends after 3 minutes and then moves to a new random map.
The results of the previous 10 games are shown on the left.
Comments
I haven't included the pink mice which spawn random events and don't plan to. This was made as an exercise to learn Pico-8 and to have some easy-to-understand code to show to students learning Lua and Pico-8.
