Let's Play "Porter" (PICO-8) - Teleport, Die, Respawn, Repeat
Porter by BluMakesGames is a Puzzle Platformer with a simple premise: You can teleport and jump. If you teleported into a wall, you die! What makes it interesting, is that the goal is always locked behind walls that need creative thinking to teleport around.
This a game I enjoyed playing, but I don't know if I'll play it through to completion because I'm bad at it.
The puzzles themselves aren't very hard in Porter, but they require split-second reflexes as you need to press the buttons quickly to teleport while jumping or falling. Because of that, one aspect I liked is how quickly you respawn after you die.
Porter shows how such simple PICO-8 games with few colors and sprites are really fun, and challenging, and how a little polish goes a long way.
PICO-8 is a Fantasy Console designed to create, share and play small retro-inspired games. Games made for PICO-8 are constrained in aethistics, code and size to encourage creativity.
