Hey! this is my first Pico-8 Project. I joined a game jam and decided to use it as an excuse to learn Pico 8. I had so much fun!
Controls
You take control of the little frog with the arrow keys and utilize only the 'Z' Key (button 4) to progress screens when prompted
Goal
Take your little frog from one end of the screen into one of the 'ponds' on the other side. if you get to all 4 then you gain an extra life and get to do it all over again. You are timed though so be careful. Each pond reached gains you 100 points and extra time. each time you reach a new lane you will gain 10 points. Running out of time loses you a life and places you at the beginning.
What I learned
So this was a fun project and I want to do more in the future. I found utilizing sprites and map tiles for things to be very fun. At first I tried utilizing a map tile for the water area but I couldn't figure out if I was able to turn on and off a flag of a single map tile without affecting the others. So I just made a water tile "Object" table and utilized sprites with doing some fun little AABB math. Honestly I thought that was the end of my pico 8 road if i didn't think of trying that out. If there are better ways then please share. BTW, music terrifies me lol. I'll dive into that with the next project but I really enjoyed making the SFX.
Credits
I made the entire thing but Shoutout to my friends who playtested this for me at the end and found a few bugs.
