The wizard casts meteor swarm...
As the wizard's lawful good sentient death-cube, how long can you protect Earth?
Controls:
-Arrow keys to move/navigate the menu
-X/Z to use powerups/select
Rules:
-If a single meteor gets past the bottom of the screen, Earth blows up and it's an instant game over.
-A meteor gets destroyed if it simply touches the player; the white death-cube.
-You get points for destroying a meteor, netting more points the higher up the meteor is on the screen.
-Occasionally, you may spot power-ups. They look like this:
|
[8x8] |

-Touching a powerup adds it to your inventory. You can consume them with X/Z.
-The fire powerup destroys all meteors on-screen.
-The ice one slows down all meteors on-screen.
Behind The Scenes
This is my first game made with Pico-8! I'm loving it so far! So the project started out as a basic pong clone. I later had the idea of making it a single player game, with the goal being to destroy the ball(s) before they reach the bottom of the screen. Once I added the fire and ice power-up, the game really started to click with me and I genuinely enjoyed playing this game. I added the finishing touches, including the ever-alluring wizard guy, satisfying particles and the main menu. After that, I published it here and on itch. Hope you enjoy:D My high-score is 45,100, can you beat it???
