CLOUDBIRD

Another PICO-8 game from me

I'm back but only in the sense that I made something just about worth sharing! Tonight I streamed a little bit of game dev messing to some friends who were curious, and because of the tools I use, PICO-8 is probably the most obscure, I showed them PICO-8 from scratch. And I had a lot of fun doing it! Friends? They're good actually.

Game concept

You're a bird gliding over some nice flowers, but there are clouds. You should avoid the clouds or you'll punch a hole right through them! Don't worry though, it doesn't do anything bad.

Controls

Left and right arrows to move the bird

Install instructions

The game should work great in the browser whether downloaded or not! Download the ZIP and put both files in the same folder, then double-click on 'cloudbird.html'. It should open like a normal webpage.

The binaries just need to be downloaded and unzipped on the correct kind of computer - they should work from the unzipped folder with no extra messing. I'm just using the built-in PICO-8 binary export.

If you have PICO-8 and want to check out the game's code/etc. or just play it in the 'real thing', download either cloudbird.p8 or cloudbird.p8.png to your pico-8/carts directory, then load from within the game with 'load cloudbird'.
