Another World: SURVIVAL
My entry to the #LOWREZJAM and made with #Pico8, using a display of only 64x32 pixels and only 16 colours, is a new spin on an old classic!
CONTROLS:
- Arrows = Move player left/right/crouch
- Z = Kick
- X = Fire laser - when you get the gun at Level 3
- (Hold for a few seconds and release to create a defence shield)
- (Hold for longer to release a BLAST to destroy enemy shields)
- ENTER = Menu
FEATURES:
- Endless number of levels*
- (Theoretically!)
- Several classes of enemies to survive from:
- Water tentacles: Don't linger too long next to the pool!
- Worms: If they sting you, it's game over!
- Soldiers: They will use all their skills to defeat you!

Great game, remember the great gameplay and the atmophere of the orginal game. An amazing little game to play when you dont have a lot of time to play, simple, efficient and very well done. Thanore the art is great!
Thanks a lot for your kind words - glad you enjoyed it! 😊
everybody leaves chill comments below, when me is raging and leaving with a bad mood after stage 10. impossible.
Ha! You probably don't wanna see this screenshot of @asobitech reaching Wave 22 then! :D
(Don't ask me how he did it - da boyz got skillz!)
Takes me back!
Today I played Another World on PS4. Yours is really well done. I am always surprised by what it is possible to do using PICO. I am an Unity user, but sometimes it seems to me that I should try PICO - just for fun. Thank you for this game. I wish you the best ++
Thank you very much. I love the original so much (played it a lot in the 90's), but the new/remastered version is really great too - gives it a new lease of life!
I can wholeheartedly recommend PICO-8, it's just so much fun - and also great for prototyping.
Also, please don't judge its capabilities on this game - as I used only a quarter of the resolution available, because it was entered into a #LOWREZJAM.
If you do decide to give PICO-8 a go - feel free to reach out to me, or any others in the #pico8 community on Twitter, or the official forum/BBS.
All the best
Ok. Thank you for your advice. I start today :)
