Avoid Your Past (PICO-8)

This game is my submission for Mini Jam 111: Colors².

---

Your goal is to maximise your score. May it be by collecting coins (10 points for each) or activating paints (3 points for a orange one, 1 point for a pink one).

Your enemy is your past self – every time you pick a coin, a memory of your movement appears. You have to avoid those memories to stay alive. 

Orange and pink paint drops result with a temporary effect. Orange paint makes coins disappear, so you cannot pick them. The pink one makes your past selves disappear, making you invulnerable.

Controls:

  • arrows – change player's movement direction
  • enter – pause and open menu

The game was made with PICO-8.
