Charlie and Jaden (2020)

Initial release date: December 31st 2020
Please read the description before playing.

This was the first game I ever made. It might not be that good but I uploaded it here for preservation purposes.

This works on mobile devices, but you might expirience sound problems.

PLOT AND OBJECTIVE: 

You are Charlie, a one of a kind desert robot. 

Your friend Jaden, a cold-sensitive defect robot has lost their items while exploring the desert with you and can't head back because the bridge broke.

Your goal is to find your way to the desert, retrieve all of Jaden's items and bring them back to them.

Use the arrows keys or D-Pad to move, you can move up, down, left, right and well as diagonally.

ABOUT THIS GAME:

This is my first video game ever, I started work around Christmas when I stumbled upon Pico-8, I was amazed by the concept of a fantasy console and thought this would be a great way to start making games.

I stumbled upon a series of videos on how to make Zelda-like Top Down adventure games for the Pico 8. I might have followed it a bit too much which made the gameplay a bit generic.

I think I made up for that with it's plot and aestetic. I used to run a website where I would have a blog which was "written by the characters." This is also where I post all games I did.

This was the first time I ever tried to do anything related to sound design. You can probably tell because the music is awful. I am very sorry.

You may also notice I struggled with how screens work, so you might get blocked by objects on another screen and miss some visual gags I put in.

If you liked this or are curious to see more, I uploaded 2 "Minigames" that I made the following year:
