Description
This is a small platformer prototype that I created in order to better understand how maps in pico8 work. It is meant to just be a small side project but I think it still turned out well.

Created by following the Nerdy Teachers platforming tutorial.
I initially dismissed this as a Work In Progress, due to the fact that when you die it goes straight back to the start, but since @Verb said it could be done I stuck with it and am glad I did.
It looks and feels good - I really enjoyed the game and want more! Its an interesting choice you made to have the jump tied to a pause. It does slow the game down and I wonder what the game would play like, if the build-up mechanic was permitted while moving? Did you experiment with that @JustaGameDev ?
Some things your cart definitely needs:
- A death / title screen
- A timer so we can do speed-runs :)
Nice short platformer!
I wish the mushroom could simply jump on press of jump button without entering charging animation. The charging should only start if jump button is held long enough.
