Much appreciated. Your implementation looks amazing and runs remarkably fast too.

Both a voxel landscape and a game within this tight limit. Excellent!

Thank you Paul, great compliment coming from the absolute master of PICO-8 tributes! the trick is 10fps, just don't tell anyone ;-)

Congratulations! Yes, the game is very unforgiving. You cannot afford any mistakes and need to take all the green tiles in the zigzag sections in order to make it in time. 

Thank you so much Paul. The word impressive really has a very special meaning coming from you, Lord of UnDune :-D

The near impossible difficulty is the age-old trick to cover up for little content. I blame the Manic Miner-like games I grew up with: 

Thank yout. It is certainly unforgiving, you really need to make use of the speed tiles in the zig-zag areas to be able to make it in time. Delighted that you enjoyed it!

Really impressive to see this refined gameplay and effects in 1023 bytes! so many Llamatron vibes!

Thank you!

I know. I  just played too many 8 bit home computer games back in the day and it made me evil :D if your game does not have content, just make it as hard as it can possibly be.

This was largely programmed on a venerable Motorola Droid 4 running maemo-leste, which is pictured below alongside the larger PinePhone by Pine64. I was greatly suprised by how up-to-date this descendent of Nokia's Maemo OS turned out to be. In combination with the small form factor of the Droid it delivers a fantastic on-the-go development platform (note: the escape key does not register in PICO-8, but that is not really a problem if you use an external editor like Geany).

Thanks for letting me know!, I must have done something wrong last time I updated the zip file, I just did so with a fresh one after deleting the existing one and it seems to be working again. Please let me know if it does not for you.

Colour me interested :D

This is a really creative idea, thoroughly enjoyed it. Well worth reading the instructions carefully! (also, there is a typo: "press down to switch _levers_".)

This is so addictive and polished! the controls are amazingly sharp and the music is mind-boggling. Those are some tracker skills, Sir!

Fantastic idea,  brilliantly executed! The Lemmings of PICO-8
