When I put this game on Steam in 2023 I wanted to make it available to the Pico-8 community for free, but I didn't want everybody to be able to play it for free because then who would buy it? The compromise I came to was to make the cartridge available for download, but not upload it to the BBS.
Well, it's a year and a half later, and whatever sales were going to happen have basically happened already, so I'm putting it here to make it easier to find and play. You can still go buy it on Steam if you want!
wow, thank you for release it for free! i've bought it during the steam winter sale :)
That was great. Loved the storytelling too. After winning, I kept exploring, and found the potion of sight (facepalm). I thought you overdid the invisible monsters, turns out I went through the door by repeatedly bonking my head on it instead of looking for the handle... The candy that helps climbing invisible walls and is dangerously sweet now also makes sense (relatively speaking)
I then kept looking... And found the guide ! Turns out it only showed me a ladder in the top right corner, just one screen above one I knew I still hadn't found a way to reach... and I'm as much in need of guidance as before. Oh well, it's just a last little missing secret, no biggie (who am I kidding, completionnist me will come back another day).
Good fun overall, thank you.
Thanks!
Yeah, that's the downside of my preferred design style of soft-gating and letting players figure things out by themselves. You can test and iterate all you want, but sometimes people just approach the game in the wrong head-space, or think in a slightly different design language than you do. I'm glad it eventually clicked for you, even if it was a bit too late 😂
