More info

This is an entry for GBJAM 12, I really like games like Hamsterball (PC) which itself is based on Marble Madness. I've never made a game like this before in a restrictive environment like PICO-8, though once the groundwork was there, additions did become easier. I also surprised myself realizing I had the opportunity to do a little bit of level design in this one, something I've been trying to practice more and more.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it, please let me know what you think!
