Description

          Drive at high speed through traffic and survive the dangers you'll encounter. Will you make it through the night?

          You control a car in order to dodge incoming cars through 8 completely different levels. Each level has its own new type of vehicles or obstacles. A new ability is unlocked after a couple of levels ( won't spoil it for you ).

There is a surprise for you at the end of the game.


Development

          The game was developed in LUA for PICO-8, a fantasy console that exists only in software but has almost the same limitations as the retro consoles back in the ~80s. Due to these limitations I was able to squeeze only 8 levels in the game. The cartridge of the game with all the game code, sounds and graphics can fit in a very small .PNG image.

          Pico 8 does not have built-in particle effects, sprite rotation functionality or physics / collision detection. So I had to build my own methods, from scratch. Although the levels might seem procedurally generated only the visual aspect of the traffic is randomly changed each time you play.

Ahaha I'm very glad you like it!

Maybe some day I will make the sequel in another programming language. 

With this one I reached the space limits of Pico-8.

Picotron is on it's way, you should check that out when it releases

So excited for Picotron. We'll have to wait until 2023 though / late 2022.
