Subsurface

A little Metroidvania for the PICO-8 featuring:

• 40 screens to explore
• 6 upgrades to find
• 6 or so enemies to fight
• A single boss fight!

WARNING: Starting a new game will wipe your save without warning! I completely ran out of tokens before I could add a conformation message so be careful! (That said, it only takes about 10 minutes to beat the game from start to finish, so losing a save is probably not the end of the world.)

Information

This is my first attempt at making a Pico-8 game and I'm reasonably happy with it. I was definitely hoping to do a lot more and add a lot more polish but I completely ran out of token space. In the future, I'll probably plan things out a little better to make sure I can fit in everything I want. That, or maybe spread things across multiple cartridges.
