Cloudstar (FediJam entry)
Functions available: move with arrow keys, shoot with Z
It's going to be a Cute 'Em Up. It's not much to look at right now, but I have a running idea with this, so it will be receiving updates. The static file will remain here for posterity. Playable game will be updated as a separate upload.
Postmortem: I felt thoroughly out of ideas for the first half of the month. In retrospect, I should have started with *any* idea that popped into my head, no matter how ridiculous. Pico-8 is a new engine to me, so I'm still learning about it. Getting bullets to fire (with O/Z) was satisfying. Doing this game jam was useful as it made it very clear to me just how much work goes into even a simple game.
Even though it's not finished, I've learned a lot from entering FediJam, so it was worth it. Thank you njamster and vacuumbeef! I hope you'll do another– I'll be far more ready next time! (o≧∇≦)

It's unfortunate you was not able to finish it, but I guess the experience is really useful. Though the Pico-8 gives some vibes that even this demo is pleasant. The sprites looks very good too.
Trying to find the right idea for a game is probably the most difficult part haha.
Yeah we are thinking on making it somewhat regular event, not like every month tho. So I'll be waiting for your next try!
Haha, yeah, the experience of failure is still experience!
Thanks! I enjoyed making the sprites— Next she needs some monsters to fight! >:D
If you make it a somewhat regular event, I'll definitely join again! I think I might need a few months before I'm up on the skill of pulling everything together, but if it's sooner, maybe I'll sprite for a team. :D
Weeell, next one in december, so take your time
I do not have enemies in the game, why i need the gun? Officer i do not shoot the sheriff)
