Holiday Jumper
by zep
Happy Holidays, everyone! This cartridge is my addition to the 2021 PICO-8 Advent
Calendar, which you should also check out if you haven't already!
Controls
LEFT/RIGHT: Slow down or speed up. It is vital to get the right speed for some jumps
O (Z/C): Jump. You can get more height by going fast and/or holding the button longer.
X: To restart after crashing.
This game gets reasonably tricky; especially from level 3. But if you can reach the end,
you'll get a simple ending along with your total time and number of restarts. The randomish
elements in the game (you'll see what I mean) are actually deterministic, so it's possible to
form strategies and optimise your time, if that's your cup of tea.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy it even if only as a crashing-into-trees simulator.
This cartridge was heavily inspired by Skyroads and @jackson_allen's most excellent Christmas
Sweater Generator
