Cool concept and great use of PICO8 but the gameplay needed more testing as the procedural generation basically made the game impossible to play.

I like the concept, but the game needed to be playtested more. I had several jumps where I just fell through the floor, or an enemy came speeding at me and there was no time to react.

Game is a bit frustrating because of the impossible jumps you have to make.

As others commented, the randomness made the game impossible at some points, but I do see the concept. Points for having a complete game though. Get yourself a cookie, you deserve it!

Really cute little game, I suspect inspired by Stardew Valley's Junimo Kart! The rail generation was a little erratic, and I felt like the collision box for the cart could be a little wider. As someone else noted, the enemies generation seemed a little too random and I ended up dying quite a few times before I could even touch the rail, but since I respawned within a second, wasn't a huge deal. I'm sure it was pretty tough to code the rail generation and all that, so I definitely respect the effort.


Good job though! My highscore is 1044. :)

this was good fun and I liked the randomness but I think the enemies were a bit unfairly spawned. Often they spawned right at the start of the level, which meant you died before you had a chance to react. On the other hand the auto-generated levels are really cool and the fact it's so short makes it very easy to try again and again.
