Monastery

31.12.2018
Genre: Platform
This is 2018’s assignment, a diabolical puzzle. You’re a monk who has forgotten where his cell is in the monastery, and who must walk the labyrinth in order to remember it. If you can find his room, you’ll find out what the assignment prompt is. I was a bit worried the students would be unable to find the prompt hidden in this one, but about half of them got there eventually. (The rest were expelled from the university.) 2018’s class was 100% Pico-8 so it seemed appropriate that the prompt game should be in Pico-8 too. Pico-8 is so great for prototyping — as a case in point, it builds to a single JS and HTML file which loads quite happily in the browser from a local file, so you don’t get annoying permissions or crossdomain problems.

Dino Escape is a fun 2D platformer where danger lurks behind every leaf—and survival is just one jump (or dash) away. Players take control of a brave little dinosaur who’s been separated from his pack and stranded in a haunted forest crawling with monstrous creatures, deadly traps, and mysterious ruins. Armed with instinct, agility, and sheer dino grit, you’ll leap over spikes, dash past undead horrors, and trigger ancient switches to unlock the path forward. But beware—swamps swallow the careless whole, flying beasts patrol the skies, and the shadows seem to whisper secrets best left forgotten.
