The attacks has patterns, try run away first and see what the pattern is!
First attack
Stand slightly off center to the enemy, and you won't be hit while still be able to hit the enemy
Second attack
There is 2 + attack and 3 x attack in that sequence. Its easier to avoid the + then attack during the x
Third attack
There is 2 vertical attack followed by 1 horizontal attack. Try to time it and it should be pretty easy
Here is my work on this years "Brackey's game jam"
It was my first gamejam! I did not finish, but man i had fun.
My brain felt like mush by the end. Thanks for peeping
I might finish this someday!
Second pico-8 project, this unfinished/abandoned gameplay clone of "copycat" by terry cavanagh (distractionware.com)
Unfinished because the cart's design is just too stupid and any sort of effort to fix things via contrived hack solutions would be wasted compared to just starting fresh.
One day i want to make a "replic8r 1" from the ground up that is actually good, but in the meantime, figured if I'm done with this i might as well post it even if it's broken.
if you enjoyed the gameplay you should check out the original, and maybe even make your own take on it.
I challenged myself to complete a creative project every week for the rest of 2022, and this week was Pico-8.
For this week I decided to tackle a favorite infinite waves-of-enemies survival title from my childhood. It is my take on Worm Whomper by Tom Loughry on the Intellivision. I have included an Intellivision mode that gets a bit closer to the classic graphics.
Gameplay
Defend your corn from an onslaught of hungry pests!
Controls
- Move with direction keys
- Z for plow ball
- X to shoot
If you lose your gun grab a new one from the barn.
I am not a game artist, musician, or developer. As such, the code in this game is filled with redundancies, magic numbers, and is wildly optimized. I have a lot to do, but it is (mostly) playable for the limited effort I was able to put in while simultaneously trying to learn all the things. I had a blast getting this far, I learned a ton and can't wait to revisit Pico-8 in an upcoming week.
Phew, 48 hours can feel really short.
This is my version of a simple tower defense game with fungi. Instead of buying stuff, fungi reproduce.
Using the mouse, you can place fungi anywhere on the map, which then shoot vertically at crossing bacteria.
After hitting bacteria, fungi are "loaded" and can produce spores. If clicked on, they release their spores and create new fungi. If spores of two different kinds of fungi mix together, there a new type of fungi grows.
Join the historical battle against bacteria on the FUNgi side!
hi, so i'm working on this seal game thing; it's like a burrito bison type game, where you launch the seal and get stuff so you can upgrade it and some other animals and stuff
i just added this launch function which is supposed to stop the seal from moving and allow you to charge power to launch it, and it seemed pretty ok, but when i ran the program, literally nothing even happened
can anyone maybe look through everything and help me figure out why this is happening? i'm drawing a blank, and i really appreciate if i could have some support or whatever
also i better not see anyone saying "rename your variables they're stupid" it's my flipping game i get to type whatever the heck i want
