🕹Gameplay🕹
You are Adam Apple. Run and jump through 4 platforming levels and reach the end while trying to collect all 12 (optional) golden gems along the way.
🔑Key features🔑
- Tight controls to make movement as enjoyable as possible.
- Refined and fair level design to ensure good difficulty balancing .
- An endgame ranking system - can you collect all 12 golden gems in under 3 minutes without dying? There might be a little something for doing so...
- Extras in the pause menu such as a timer for speedrunners, scanlines for those looking for a stronger retro feel, and even a debug mode.
- A save system that will remember if you've turned on the speedrun timer or debug mode so you don't need to turn in back on every time you play the game. It also remembers if you've achieved the best endgame rank.

A really polished and fun platformer. I like how you varied environments a lot to keep player's on their toes. We've all seen games that have ice worlds and sandpits, but never usually side by side!
My only complaint is that it was a little bit difficult! I kept dying and being sent back to the start of the level. I assume old-school challenge was part of the appeal, but maybe some optional checkpoints could help!
Really fun!
Thank you very much. I'm very glad to see that you enjoyed it. The old-school challenge was intentional, and I felt that checkpoints could take away from that, so I decided not to implement any. Nevertheless, I appreciate the feedback :)
Really cool game, I enjoyed it a lot! Already a Pico-8 classic for me! I loved the whole game, but I especially liked the level design, really love how you mixed the various mechanics in an interesting and refreshing way! I wouldn't complain about more levels :D keep it up!
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it :)
