So this is my first time working with PICO-8 and really my first time making a game from scratch in general.
The entire movement system is my own creation, I didn't look to see how other people did movement so it may not be perfect but I'm rather proud of it. A lot of it just came naturally as little things I added as I discovered the different capabilities I had. Some things, such as the glitchy title intro and the hp bar jolting in the direction you're hit, were actually just pure mistakes or stupid coding on my part that gave me an idea for a cool effect. It may not be much of a game yet as there are no objectives, but it means a lot to me as the joy that coding it brought me has solidified my desire to be an indie game dev and make a career of that.
TL;DR
To quote the maker of the game Forager:
"I hope you love this game as much as I do"
