Released: February 2018
Developed: February 2018
Team: Joseph Henry Stadolnik IV
Tools: PICO-8
Programming Language: Lua
My Role: Solo Developer
I made the entirety of this game by myself.
My achievements on this project included:
- Designing timing-based arcade gameplay around inhaling and exhaling to sniff flowers.
- Inhale to sniff a flower and score points, earning more the longer you smell it.
- If you inhale a bee it stings you, but exhaling blows bees away.
- Exhaling right before inhaling lets you sniff for longer and score more points.
- Exhaling for too long makes you winded, stunning you momentarily.
- The score steadily drops over time, encouraging players to take risks.
- Drawing all visual assets using PICO-8's editor.
- Creating all audio assets using PICO-8's editor.
