8SH - A tiny precision platformer adventure

A small Pico-8 platformer built around movement, timing, and lots of retries.
The game is short, controls are tight, and failure is very much part of the experience.

     

This game was loosely inspired by The End is Nigh by Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel, exploring a similar sense of tight control within the small, playful constraints of Pico-8, with music by Gruber.

     

   This is my first Pico-8 release, made just to learn the engine and play around with its tiny constraints. It eventually turned into a small but focused challenge that rewards rhythm, focus, and perseverance.
If you decide to give it a try, I’d love to hear what you think.
