A hardcore platform game for the PICO-8 fantasy console.
Tutankham is a combination of the maze, action and shoot 'em up genres. Taking on the role of an explorer grave robbing Tutankhamun's tomb, the player is chased by creatures such as asps, vultures, parrots, bats, dragons, and even curses, all that kill the player on contact. The explorer can fight back by firing lasers at the creatures, but he can only cover the left and right directions. The player is also endowed with a single screen-clearing "flash bomb" per level or life. Finally, each level has warp zones that teleport the player around the level, which enemies cannot use. To progress, the player collects keys open locked doors throughout the levels, searching for the large exit door. Optional treasures can be picked-up for bonus points. Each level has a timer; when it reaches zero the explorer can no longer fire lasers, and once a level is cleared the remaining time is converted to bonus points.

De-make of "No Man's Sky"... in PICO-8
Inspired by the true-life events of my good friend Ryan. My first game ever; I am not a programmer and taught myself what I could of PICO-8, making this whole thing up as I went along, so I'm sure the code is very inefficient and a mess, sorry! It's a simple game and is mostly a lifetime of inside jokes, but to the general public: I hope you enjoy it anyway!
