tip from the winners: when you win you get cake (i cant show you cuz they dissapear faster then i can picture it but hey look i shaved my time)

tip from the living: shooting the lighting ball gives you power ups


tips from the dead: time freezer might mean you froze time but it doesnt mean it makes you invisable

my favorite pico 8 game! really has the 80s Arcade Vibe!

Amazing fun, but stopped working after I upgraded to macOS Catalina. Can you advise?

Hmm...glad you liked it, sorry to hear it stopped working. I probably need to update something. Will look into i this weekend. The web version that you can play on itch.io should still work meanwhile. Thanks for playing.

This is the problem... support.apple.com/HT208436

Cute game!

Charming, awesome, and terrifying!

Really great how there is intimacy and personality to the boss!

Great job!

Many thanks, glad you like it!

What an addicting game. Too bad I didn't beat it till after the recorder was off...haha.

Hehe, damnit! You nail it next time. Thanks for playing, great video!

Shoot, this is really neat! I haven't seen many games make such good use of PICO-8 as this. Love the sticker looking art too.

Thanks, glad to hear you enjoyed it. 

I like the game, would recommend changing the enemy life to a lifebar, making it obvious that you have to hit the enemy 50 times make it a little frustrating! still 5 stars

Thanks! Good point, agree, a lifebar would be nicer. I took the easy route on this one. Mainly because my code is leaning towards the spaghetti type and I didn't want the mess around with it to much :).

I love the art, the game looks gorgeous and I love the idea of being an umbrella fighting the weather!

The gameplay is overwhelming (I died very quickly!) but in an enjoyable way.

Thank you! Yes, it turned out quite hard. The fine tuning part took much more time than I expected.
