This game is not designed to run on your device. Add it to a collection to play later, or you can try to run it anyway.

First attempt at Trijam from August 9th through August 12th.

This game is called "The Great Mon Climb" It's about a space man climbing Olympus Mons on Mars. It's based off of The Oregon Trail. 


------ HOW TO PLAY -------

The game uses basic Pico-8 controls. Simply press Z or X on your keyboard to progress! Ctrl-R will reset if you die.

Note: In future updates there will be options to eat/survive with your rations/oxygen. For now it's luck of the draw to try and get to the top of the mountain.


------- TO DO IN FUTURE UPDATES----------

  • More events
  • Death screen
  • Victory screen
  • Restart game without CTRL-R
  • D-Pad options for proceeding, eating, resting, etc.
  • Better animtions
  • Better mountain detail
  • Twinkly stars

This game is absolutely not finished, however in the spirit of the trijam time limit I went ahead and uploaded. I may polish it up a bit later but for now enjoy my very first game jam submission!

EDIT: It appears my HTML file didn't work when uploaded. I re-uploaded after the deadline passed.

its interesting but so much text can be hard to read on pico-8, maybe add some visuals too?
