Very fun game! Got turned around a lot on this one part near the end, where I kept missing the double grapple and had to find my way back to where I'd been before, but really that's on me for not trying harder to memorize the route after failing several times lol. Had a lot of fun exploring the area! Very pleasant experience

Very nice game good job ! :)

Amazing! Now I want to go back to making pico8 games lol

Fun! Smooth controls, amusing characters and pleasant graphics but desperately needs a map especially with portals.

Very fun!

I love this game

This is a nice game! The graphics are what made me want to try it, it looks great! Good conept too with the tool changing between emp, teleporter and grapple hook type thing.

How was I supposed to reach those 3 on the ceiling

I think you get those before you turn the water off. That way you can float up to get them.

Oh, that makes sense LOL

I would recommend to make a story, and levels packs. As levels are progressing, story and level design will be progressing too, like duke nukem platform games!

Great Game.. 😲

the pixel art is top notch, and the level design makes the most of the not so big level to make it feel like a complex maze. Great work, +1 to the more levels (or a single level sequel?) request

played the pico-8 version on the Miyoo Mini+ and only wish for more levels. Pixel art is so well done and the animations are so smooth and with great attention to detail! Nice chip tune music too. The controls are great too, very responsive and snappy, it just feels right. I’d love to see a bigger release. There isn’t much to do, apart from navigating the maze and finding stuff to progress further but this makes it all the more charming and relaxing. Quality work all around and totally recommended

Nice game!

When you have time. Check my own game too!

I got 100%

Can I just say. It's been quite a while since I've actually been able to play a game where I don't need to worry about winning or losing. I could just walk around and TRY to progress the game. It's actually a pretty nice change of pace and I highly recommended this to some friends of mine. 

that was fun! Love the pixel art here. Nice level design

Finally.. after navigating through the maze, I found the route to the cliff on the left. It's so cool. Thanks for the game.

nice game!

Good game!

I love it :)

This short experience was quite fun. The pixel art was good and the mood was sent well. My only complaint is the gimmick and occasionally precise blue fuel . Well done.

is "ufo.p8" supposed to be Pico-8 version? Because when I added ".png" to it and opened it in my image viewer, it didn't show cart's image.

nvm, it works, just doesn't show cart image.

I purchased this but thought I'd be able to download the p8 file. I'm new to pico 8 stuff and wanted to play this on my handheld. But the file types to download don't seem to be the right format?

Sorry about that. I've added the p8 file to the itch page so you can download it now.

Nice! Many thanks

Lovely!

The game is great, although I'd suggest rethinking the control scheme because I've been pressing "up" for jump instead of Y(which I had to re-map from Z on my keyboard)

The game its soo fun and i like your ideas

its shot and very good tnx for making this game <3

Very fun and polished, congrats! It looks awesome

Really fun mini-Metroidvania! The environment and background music are particularly good.
