Golden Goblet

This is my entry for the #ToyBoxJam 2020! The idea is that we're given specific sprites to make a game with in Pico-8 in less than 2 and 1/2 weeks. I made this in one week. It's a simple platformer. Have fun!

📕Story📕

You are Ninjoe, a ninja from Meadow Village. One day, your friend Adam falls ill with an unknown illness.

The village elder suggests you journey to acquire the Golden Goblet of Legend, said to cure those who drink from it of any and all sickness!

The elder claims the goblet is located in an underground palace engulfed by the Primeval Forest.

It is a dangerous place. No one who has journeyed to the palace of the goblet has ever returned!

Good luck, and return soon... else you may not get back in time to save your friend.

Nice simple platform game. I liked the level design, level had varied challenges so the game didn't run out of ideas. I especially liked the maze-like areas with the smaller blocks--a nice change of pace. If I would suggest adding anything it would be good to have a smoother transition or delay after you die, maybe have the camera pan back to the respawn point before the player reappears or something. Still, cool little game :)

thanks , i found it just after posting the question !

nice game

is it possible to get through the maze bit in the forest ? i cant find a way through ...

Yes, there's a secret passageway you can enter. It's entrance to it is near the fire.

To get the good ending, you need to beat the game quickly enough. By quickly enough, I mean in under 3 minutes. Good luck!

ahhhhhhh ok!
