What the game looks like!

https://vrham.itch.io/slow-run-twice


This is a little game I've made in python using pygame! I tried to create my own game loop instead of just a FPS or platformer etc. I wanted to create a simple game that sort of mimics older games, as I think they focus more on the simple mechanics. I also tried to make the art style somewhat retro, inspired an old commodore 64 game called Commando.

Commando disassembled – fully commented code – RETRO.MOE


Slow Run Twice is about surviving enemies that you need to predict while moving. You need to make two moves before you move simultaneously as the enemies. The enemies try to reach the first tile you've moving to, and they die by drowning or colliding with each other. You die if you collide with another enemy, but if you collide with multiple enemies at the same time, they kill each other and you survive. 

I think it's pretty fun, so hope someone else has fun!
