This game has a very good implementation of the mechanics, I like it.
thanks!
This is a really great spin on snake!
Thanks 😊
This is really nice to play, the idea is simple but it fits the theme very nicely! GG for doing it entirely on pico-8 too! This is a really cool game!
Thx! 😄
Finally, snake 2(?. Really fun to play, nice game and nice music
I forgot to add micro-transactions to that new edition of snake 🙈
I think a battle pasa is the way to go

nice! 🙂
Hello! Great game. Simple, funny, and well executed.
The only problem is that sometimes when you take the coin, the clone spawns and kills you instantly.
I got this problem just once I assume it was a bug.
Anyway, great job, and keep doing games.
I think it’s not a bug, but unlucky decision I made in the code 😅 At some point of being tired in the middle of the night I decided to simplify clone spawning: I hide clone but leave its trail being generated (even if clone is not moving yet). But the problem is, trail’s circles are drawn before coins. Which means if coin got placed on the same spot where spawning was happening, then you had no chance to see it 🙈
Thanks! 😀
I just updated the game and published under new itch page (because I migrated it to my own framework). Spawns should be drawn on top of the player now (and indicated beforehand). Also, I added an “announcement” of where Memories are when the “no memories” mode ends. Feel invited to check it out 🙂👉 https://beetrootpaul.itch.io/avoid-your-past-beetpx
Simple but really fun game. Scored 149
Thanks! Oh, and I have to try harder, I did 143 so far 😄
i appreciate that Pico-8 has controller support by default, made this nice to play. scored a 209, and i think having some indication of when the pink will wear off is nice. also making sure that the “history will spawn here” dot shows up over rather than under the player character would be useful — tho its current state is nice for preventing people from just hugging the wall
Thanks for the feedback! 😄 And good to know controller works by default, now I have to try it too, because I managed to get 143 so far 😅
