.p8rker
You are P8rker, a nerdy teenager who was bitten by a radioactive spider, giving you superpowers like nearly unlimited strength and the ability to shoot webs. The public is absolutely okay with you leaving toxic web waste all over the place. As long as you save people from buildings under attack! They need your help. Oh, and did we mention that your girlfriend (according to you, not her) is waiting to be rescued somewhere in this building?
All similarities to actual superheroes are purely coincidental.
How to play
Up: Jump up in the direction your facing
Down: Jump down
Left/right: Change the direction your are facing
Swing over people to rescue them.
Avoid the pumpkins of the Green Gnome.
Avoid Otto the Kraken
This is my 20th PICO-8 game. Thank you for playing!
Update 1
I added a few more heroes to the game. Collect bonus items (they appear every third round) to unlock all of them.
Update 2
Added a new title menu for easily changing modes and heroes and toggling the collection.
Added a survival mode. How long can you survive? Both modes have their own high scores.
Update 3: Hotfix
Hopefully I fixed the issue where the game won't return to the title screen after losing all lives.
Balloons now only appear every fourth pickup (people, items, balloons itself).
Update 4: Balanced difficulty
Otto's bullets now disappear when they leave the visible screen. This allows you to outrun them by jumping or falling.
