I just discovered Pico 8 in the last two weeks. Lua is new to me, but seems pretty simple (EDIT - lua tables are confusing), so this is cool.
I love the old console style of most of the games here, and this seems like a great place to make a first game.
I got the tunnel mechanic working the weekend for this one. There's a sort of centrifugal force that is applied to the player's ship as the tunnel turns. I'll be able to have a couple ship options with different masses and different flight behaviors!
TODO List:
- Colors and background decorations
- Ship animations
- Enemies of a few varieties
- Title screen and ship select
- Score tracking
- ... ?
