A Medic in Time
On their way to restore the stolen gravity, Snap the supersoldier and his loyal medic Hal got ambushed by the Evil Circles Society. Can they outlive this seemingly endless battle?
Actual gameplay
First, you play as the Soldier with infinite hp and try to shoot down enough enemies before the timer runs out.
Then, you play as the Medic, with the Soldier repeating your previous actions. Now the Soldier has only 2 hp, so you need to pick up & throw medkits to heal him.
If the Soldier doesn't kill enough enemies in time or if he dies later on, both of you are doomed.
Controls
- D-Pad / arrow keys to move
- Button O (Z key) to jump (kinda)
- Button X (X key) to shoot / throw
Credits
- Me (3 hours), for code and sprites
- My friend Thomas (1.5 hours), for more code and 2 sfxs
Made with ♡ and PICO-8 for the Trijam #239

Really great, snappy game with an awesome loop for such a short time. Great job accomplishing that! Two people definitely make the job easier.
Thank you for the kind words!
Two people make the job easier indeed! I would actually add some penalty to teams, because the work time gets multiplied at no cost.
I also planned to do this game alone, but after 3 hours it was really unfinished and my friend volunteered to help. But I aim to and I will work on my submissions by myself in future.
Looking forward to the rating period to play and rate your game!
No biggie! The fact that you attempted to make a game in 3 hours, and still made something is commendable. I used to think games took days to make, and here I am popping out a really simple thing in just a few hours.
The benefit of this experience moving forward is that one can assess how one did, identify any pitfalls, and then try again for the next jam; taking the wins from the previous experience and avoiding the falls.
Level 4 is my personal best for now
