PICO 8 Games
PICO-8 is a super fun platform for making and publishing little 'retro' games.
I've played around with it quite a bit, but the only thing I ever actually finished is SUPER KILL EACH OTHER.
SKEO
This is a multiplayer fighting game for 2-4 players. In SKEO, you don't directly kill the other player, instead you are always aiming for a ring out. The screen is infinitely scrolling upwards, threatening to drop the players off of the bottom (into the fire).
I think the player animation came out pretty well. It looks really smooth for a pico-8 sprite, IMO.
The infinite scrolling was kind of fun to get working. There are a few tiles that are randomly selected and stacked on top of each other as the round progresses. This means I just needed to translate the Y value of the standard pico map coordinates to get collision figured out.
Now I present my favorite tweet in existance:
Yo @lexaloffle, not sure if the guy who coded this #pico8 multiplayer masterpiece is on twitter, but it's the noisiest game ever! :) pic.twitter.com/y2sNdmqsmE
