You had an amazing talent in developing PICO-8 games. I liked this project and your pixel Fliqlo calendar, it looked great too. I hope you find the strength to return to game development on this platform. I think you could even sell games like GET OUT of this Dungeon, a lot has changed since you were away. People are willing to pay for small games now :)
Ignore the people complaining. You are talented. The game is brilliant. The movement is perfect. The challenges are fun. The unique mechanics are fun. The cheeky humor is fun. The art is absolutely perfect for pico8. More pico-8 games should be like this.
Why are you not making a bunch of these? You should. Charge $5. You are really good.
Search for it in pico 8 splore.
Run the cart.
Esc back to splore.
Esc to command
Type ‘save getout’
Close pico 8.
Hit windows+r type %AppData% hit run.
Go into the pico8 folder.
Go into carts folder.
Viola you have your .p8 file for you handheld.
I think I would really enjoy this game if you added coyote time to the jumps. There were way too many pixel-perfect jumps that required me to jump while still completely on the platform.
very frustrating to play. Having to watch your lives go down one by one is very demoralizing. Also not being able to see whats in the next screen and dying instantly when entering the room is way too common.
THIS GAME IS SOOOOOOO ANOYING WTF WHY WOULD THE CONTROLLER CONTROLLS BE SO SENSATIVE!!?!?!?!?!?!??! I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY WOULD YOU MAKE SUCH A BAD GAME WITH SUCH BAD CONTROLLS!1!!!!!!1!1!111!!!!
NOW ONLY THAT I WAS SO FUSTRAITED BY THIS GAME'S MOVEMENT THAT I MADE MY OWN IN UNITY AND I IS MUCH BETTER YOU RUNNER UP BANANA GUY
I don't like the limited lives implementation in this game. When everything kills you in one hit and the lack of ways to earn extra lives, it just feels depressing to watch the number go down. Sure you got a butt tonne of lives, I died like 35 times on my blind playthrough, but watching a good number go down makes each death more rage-inducing, when I doubt this game is meant to be frustrating. Besides that, I enjoyed this game. The map was a nice size. Gems were hidden in great spots!
Small 2d platform game with exploration that is quite entertaining even though I would recommend playing it with the controller since at least with the keyboard I couldn't control the character well.
Although the experience is somewhat short, it does feature many concepts of exploration, finding paths that you must return to eventually when you have a key or a new ability to progress. On the other hand, the management of the jumps is somewhat complicated but with some practice it is easy to obtain most of the jumps even though the highest ones are still difficult to perform.
A fun and challenging experience that makes me wonder what else has been scheduled at PICO-8.

/s It’s only a 9 step process. You got this.

I knew something felt off

I GOT OUT after dying 87 times, collecting 791 coins, and all of the spiders.
Really good game :D
I would only change the jump response, it comes late and it difficults the timing. The rest had me hooked
