Subsurface

A little Metroidvania featuring:

  • 40 screens to explore
  • 6 upgrades to find
  • 6 or so enemies to fight
  • A single boss fight!

WARNING: Starting a new game will wipe your save without warning! I completely ran out of tokens before I could add a conformation message so be careful! (That said, it only takes about 10 minutes to beat the game from start to finish, so losing a save is probably not the end of the world.)

Information

This is my first attempt at making a Pico-8 game and I'm reasonably happy with it. I was definitely hoping to do a lot more and add a lot more polish but I completely ran out of token space. In the future, I'll probably plan things out a little better to make sure I can fit in everything I want. That, or maybe spread things across multiple cartridges.

Controls

  • O / [z] to Jump,
    Wall jump, Glide and Swim
  • X / [x] to Shoot
  • Left Arrow to run left
  • Right Arrow\ to run right

Versions

  • 1.0.2 - Added a save point to the final platforming section. I wanted it to be difficult since it's the run up to the final boss, but I agree that it's just too many screens without a save.
  • 1.0.1 - Closed the gap in the first screen so you can't escape out the top which would crash the game.
