A GAME MADE WITH PICO-8

ABOUT THE DEVELOPER

Hello ! I'm Alberto and I'm a solo developer with a passion for expressive games :)) Atollo was created from start to finish by me, from the design and code to the art and audio, as a personal challenge and a way to grow as a game maker.

I’m releasing Atollo for free with the goal of sharing something fun, goofy and replayable, while building a portfolio that can help me take the next step into the game development industry.

If you enjoyed the game or have any feedback, I’d love to hear from you! :))

With most of the reviews being ASCII tall ships, getting a review in here of some faint value shouldn't be hard. It's not a long or deep game, this won't be a long or deep review. And, bearing in mind this game was free, my expectations are not huge. But before I go too deep, listen to me: Press down arrow to bring up a map. You could get through a round in a few minutes, rather than 22, as I did. The game's very pixelly and basic, built on the Pico-8 engine. You sail a tall ship around a map looking for "eggs" to awaken a kraken so you can fight it. I'm not sure why, but probably the reasons are really good. You can collect coins. These do nothing of note except build up a score. You can fight enemy ships - mostly for score, maybe to declutter the map as they don't respawn. They'll attack you at random, or they'll fight each other. And, frankly, the combat is the interesting part of the game. It's mostly about trying to position yourself so you can land a broadside hit and they can't. The range is short, the shot is slow, so it requires really good leading or the guts to get in close and risk being hit. Since any ship is destroyed after three hits, it's risky. Granted, a destroyed ship drops a heart which lets you regain one lost hit, so there's reward to the risk. The kraken is your real goal. You get those previously-mentioned eggs by sailing up close to a bouncing non-sequitor character, like a moon-man-face-thing or a handheld console or somesuch. Get five, the tune changes, the kraken wakes up and can be fought in the deep seas. I didn't last too long. I wasn't trying all that hard, because in truth to you, I was getting kind of annoyed, but that's because I didn't know about the map and I spent so long blundering around. That's on me, but a little "these are your controls" text on the title screen would have saved me that embarrassment. I mean, as far as first efforts go, it's not at all bad. It caught my sense of whimsy in the Steam suggestion list. I don't plan to go back and try to beat the kraken again, because I'm not madly in love with the slow sailing and such. But I don't regret my time at it either, so with the stakes this low, I'm calling it a win. If anything, it's worth your time to give it a spin and see what somebody can get up to in such a limited development system. And with all the slop out there these days, expressions of human creativity are true gems to be cherished. So there! Besides, I'm writing my own thing, on an entirely different system, and game recognizes game. I'll be curious to see what the dev gets up to going forward.
