Pico games are so cute. Wasn't sure what I was doing, other than everything I walked up to killed me ;)

Had trouble getting it to start. Even after reading that the symbols were Z-X/C-V. Not sure why. I like the aesthetic a lot. And I see the start of some nice puzzles. It'd have been nice to have some type of chip-tune playing to complete the retro feel.
What an amazing retro vibe!
I love that you even added a boot animation!
That's next-level attention to detail!
Your game is absolutely inspirational and I'm amazed by every aspect of it!
You should be so incredibly proud of this and I cannot wait to see what you'll create next!!!
Btw sorry for sort of being critique, after reading so many of the comments around this jam I feel like people aren't being enough constructive and just say "wow cool" on every game, even on my game which has severe problems, so I sort of went ahead and dirtied my hands with bad reviews to try and restore the balance 😵😵
Love the retro feel of the game and those spike puzzles were amazing. I wouldn't mind more gameplay with more complex spike puzzles like those. Also... the cows are brutal lmao
A nice little game (I won it two times to get the treasure chest ;-). Would have loved to have different phrases for each death too. Great entry, I had a good time playing it :-D
Unsure what I needed to do, I'm glad I saw the gif when I tried to save my ratings that it was possible to run off the screen. I kept just dying to cows :P Love the graphics style and general retro feel.
Nice game :) I like that the mechanics, sound and aesthetics match each other.
Didnt realize the keys was for doors either since i could open both with just one key.
If the goal was closer to the start and you fail to open the doors first it would be more obvious.
Good work either way!
Nice game dude, I wish i could use that same font on my own page. I love pico 8
Hey, congrats on your submission! I think better player feedback would be good here. To be honest, I wasn't really sure what I did. I beat the game but I don't know why other than I managed through a spike puzzle to a flashing circle. I'm not sure what the pickups did or what the key was for (I thought for the chest but the chest seems to open up regardless).
Either way, I think you have a good foundation to flesh out and create a nice little adventure game.
I hate to admit this but I don't know what keys I'm supposed to press to start the game
