Coyote Time Demo (PICO-8 Training Game 4/5)

Coyote Time! is a puzzle-platformer about the brief window of time where a player can still jump after walking off a ledge. More specifically, it is about what happens when you make that window last forever.

You play as Wally Coyote (pronounced "koy-oat"), a coyote who is effectively immune to gravity due to his inability to look down. Navigate a spike-filled desert cliffside, kick around crates of TNT, and uncover the long-lost technique of looking down!

CONTROLS:

• Arrow Keys to move
• X to jump
• Z or C to kick
• P to pause

(BTW: Some time after publishing this demo, I stumbled upon another game which uses a similar concept. Be sure to check out minihut251's prototype after playing this demo! https://minhnhut251s.itch.io/coyote-time)

I developed this demo of Coyote Time! as part of a five-week-long game development challenge, during which I forced myself to make one PICO-8 game every week in order to learn how to use PICO-8. This was the fourth of five games that I developed for this challenge. I was only able to produce this short demo in the week that I gave myself, but I plan on turning this demo into a full game now that the challenge is over.
