Ninja and Mouse is a PICO-8 game I made in 48 hours for Ludum Dare 46.


Ludum Dare is a game jam where game developers are presented with a theme, and given a limitied amount of time to make a game based around that theme.


This time the theme was "Keep it alive."


I had a lot of fun making it and I hope you have a lot of fun playing it!


Controls:

  • Left/Right = Move

This was a cute little game here fun and entertaining so for me I had some fun with this game that pixel is nice game, the game itself is a good game but really enjoyed the pixel dive into this one

~X~

fun but hard

i got the max score and the game ended abruptly, but it wouldn't let me press Z on the end scrren, so i guess it didn't save it? :(

EDIT: anything past overachiever triggers only once you hit the "lift curse" button from the shop (tested it with the 9999x medal).
however, once you hit the max combo, the game immediately ends mid-game, giving you a special gameover screen (without going through the shop).
the button to go to the menu from there doesn't seem to work, but i'm guessing that's irrelevant because the score gets updated when you lift the curse and not when you reach the menu.

TL;DR because you can't lift the curse when you reach the max combo (the game immediately ends, and even if you could, you'd need to spend combo to lift the curse and go below max), the medal for max combo is effectively broken, which explains why no one got it since

Mouse: "Yay! You have enough to lift the curse!"

Ninja: "Lift the curse? Nah bro, already did that. I need to get a high score now"

Mouse: "WHAT DO YOU MEAN!?"

Ninja: "I need to slap you into outer space 32,667 more times"

Mouse: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

Even if some of it's features are trash I still like it. Because of a bug I could not press "Z" to send my score when I reached maximum combo. https://imgur.com/a/APE68LY
