That is cool!

Trying to make the player manage the meter: energy gets used up when you accelerate, when you use your "EXPLODE ALL CARS" button, and when you get hit. To balance that I've added energy pellets that the player can gather when cars gets destroyed.

New to this platform, so still figuring out how this works.
I've been working on this little game for like a year. This is the first actually sizeable project I started in pico8 and it's about to be released on itch.

#pico8 #indiedev #pixelart

I wanted to make it less "idle" and for example let player to move up and down to avoid bad trades and pick the good ones. The items would have different quality, price ranges and byers would have preferences, etc. After the jam I will probably try to make it into a "full" version.

I tried to make an idle game in 3 hours for #trijam and... sort of failed, but still it was a lot of fun to try #pico8 #gamedev

Yeah exactly. It is sprite stacking and a rotation. You can find example by johanp on BBS.

Any volunteers? #pico8 #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart

Hitting cars now directly increases the speed. This gives the player more control over the difficulty. I've also tried switching the score from distance to speed to give the player an incentive to go faster (thanks @voidgazerbon.bsky.social !)

Thank you! I wanted to, in a way, but I’m having second thoughts as it probably won’t fit with the rest of the game.

Zombies are still cool, right? Cover art WIP #pico8 #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev #indiegame

I love how abstract the art is! I keep imagining different settings. Now I see a biker on futuristic highway syphoning fuel/energy from others so he can keep going.

I would say it was worth it!

Thank you. That is a good point with the tire effect, I will try that!

I am playing with a new prototype to distract myself from the main game... idk brains? #pico8 #gamedev #indiegame #idiegamedev

Oh, no! Who gave them bombs?

Four-panel image-led graphic. Left panels show David Attenborough wearing a beige jacket, seated outdoors beside reeds and water, smiling and gesturing behind him. Right panels show close-up photos of a beaver swimming and standing upright among tall reeds. Bold yellow caption text across the panels reads: “If someone had told me when I first moved here that one day I would be watching wild beavers in London, I would have thought they were mad. But there they are, right behind me. Happily going about their own business.”

Beavers are back in London 🦫

Here's how (and why) we did it ⬇️

I guess they would mostly crash into stuff :D. It would just add something aggressive for the players to avoid or make them perform more risky maneuvers.

Have you though about police chasing the player?

Can anything truly be a mistake if you can control time? #pico8 #gamedev #pixelart #indiegamedev #indiegame

Particles and screen shake! Maybe a bit early as I don't have sprites yet, but it feels good

Thanks!

For me the title screen is the very last thing I make :D

Added some variation to the car size and reworked the scrolling effect. I feel like the speed renders better with non-continuous line separating the lanes.

It looks great!
