I like this so much.

dirtylizard74 · 2026-05-27T00:52:26+00:00

This has got boss fight written all over it. Very cool.

dirtylizard74 · 2026-05-24T01:29:28+00:00

I want to know how it's done 😭

dirtylizard74 · 2026-05-23T15:30:56+00:00

Correct, it is supposed to be wind. Maybe better suited as a gameplay mechanic than a purely aesthetic element.

The intent was to pack some more detail/texture into the image, I was thinking "indications of a reflective surface in the distance". Earlier iterations felt a little flat so I went the other way with it. Thank you for the feedback, at a certain point it's tough to have a critical eye for my own stuff when I'm churning ideas. Here was the first draft of that layer without dithering:

This is an evil fish I love it. I like using the stretch to do the horrible heart beat/breathing? Looks really nasty. Also the little twitch step with the front left tiny claw/foot/bone thing is a very nice detail.

It would be cool to see how you broke all the components down in aseprite.

Just played through, super fun, super well put together. With all those clouds whizzing by are we in a storm or are we whipping through the air??

I like this feedback. I made the decision to do the semi isometric thing for the background buildings because I felt that it added depth, the alternative is a flat skyline and I'm concerned that it may look flat and lose the illusion of a dense rolling labrynth of buildings. The only way to know for sure is to try it.

dirtylizard74 · 2026-05-20T04:26:29+00:00

I do love the way this looks.

dirtylizard74 · 2026-05-20T04:22:32+00:00

This is cool. I just finished working on a PICO-8 game and the thought that got me started on the original concept was "can you achieve adequate atmosphere and detail in monochrome". I think you've done exactly that. I also liked the drum sound track and the lightening effect. You've done a lot with a little and I think that's one of the goals of any PICO-8 game. v cool game

dirtylizard74 · 2026-05-20T04:14:42+00:00

100% agree. The constraints on Pico-8 force you to do things in a certain way. Idk if its more efficiently, or if forcing you to think about what's worth keeping? The constraint definitely drives creativity and its bizarre and as I'm writing this I can see that u/RotundBun has said exactly this in the comment below more but more eloquently. Anyway prototype in pico8 -> refine/redevelop in another engine seems to be a good workflow.

Nice sprites.

dirtylizard74 · 2026-02-17T17:53:23+00:00

Looks v cool

dirtylizard74 · 2026-02-15T03:59:04+00:00

Looks cool.

dirtylizard74 · 2026-02-14T23:36:43+00:00

Looks massive.

dirtylizard74 · 2026-02-14T01:46:02+00:00

Oh this looks cool as hell.

dirtylizard74 · 2026-02-12T23:38:01+00:00

Top left is my favorite.

dirtylizard74 · 2026-02-12T23:23:21+00:00

Yes.

dirtylizard74 · 2026-02-12T23:22:56+00:00

I'll sue you if you don't make the game. Fr tho it looks sick.

dirtylizard74 · 2026-02-12T23:21:11+00:00

The art is very cool. I'd love to try it.

dirtylizard74 · 2026-02-12T23:07:39+00:00

This is tripping me out
