Simple Pico-8 game

This was a simple pico-8 project I started to kind of solidify some of the code and structure for games with pico-8. I kept this very short and simple so that I could focus on getting all the aspects for a game done in a short amount of time.

In total this project took about 10 hours to complete.  I added a few nice feel features like screen shake and animated scoring. Also did some simple effects like the star disappearing into the paddle using clipping. 

For game design I experimented with various power ups and simple controls. Adjusting the play keeping it simple and letting the difficulty be fully dependent on randomness. Also added high score tracking for added replay value.

Overall it turned out to be a really good starting point for the LudumDare 53 event and the Sheep Delivery game that I made and will have to add more to before publishing it on itch.

I will definitely be using pico-8 for future jams and prototypes. I cannot stress it enough as a good way to prototype concepts.

The price tag is only for those who want to support me and future games. You can get this cart on splore and at the PICO-8 boards

Be sure to rate it whatever you think it deserves both here and over on the boards. Let me know if you find it fun or it sparks some inspiration for you.
