Build a Jetpack

Welcome to the first game in what will be a very, very long series, spanning 8 years and 3 months.

For this first game, I aimed for something simple. I used a tool called PICO-8, a "fantasy console." This is a virtual console designed to mimic the limitations of retro gaming hardware, encouraging creativity through constraints.
