This was a lot of fun. I've always loved these kinds of games, and you did well using only ascii graphics. It could use some background music, but otherwise I really enjoyed it.
I legit made like 3 background song for the game in Pico 8, but I hated each and every one of them.
little annoying at times but a lot of fun, good job, what's the character used for the background?
Its Pico 8's character number 128, but I think regular fonts uses number 176. ░
that's extended ASCII and technically against the rules of the jam...
Fair enough. I didn't realize that Pico 8 even supported extended characters outside their custom ones. I updated the game to use #.
Annoyingly addictive. Simple but fun.
Nice job. The controls felt great and good use of ASCII art!
