This is the first game I've ever actually finished and was used to help me learn to code. That being said, there's a little bit of jank.
left and right arrow keys move you around.
Catch the enemies' boulders but don't get hit! Periodically, flags will spawn limiting how far back you can move.
This was made for the Mini Jame Gam 2023 and is the first finished development project by myself, Dana St. Amand. (*finished is a relative term)
The theme of the Jam was "Reverse" and the special object was "flag." I took a little bit of a broader approach to the idea of "Reverse" by expanding the definition to include the opposite of what you would expect to happen. The jury is still out on if that was a good decision. I really used this Jam and the limitations of Pico-8 to force myself to learn how to code after years of dipping my toes in and being scared of getting wet. Despite the jank, I think it worked out okay!
