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.
