Let's Play "BAS" (PICO-8) - Addictive Fun

BAS is casual/arcade game on PICO-8 in which you play as a chicken, jumping between the sides of the screen to avoid traps. The game is very simple but fast paced and addicting!

This game is perfect for a fantasy console like PICO-8. It's simple in both graphics and the gameplay and it's fun to play with a controller. (It must be fun to play on a handheld too.)

In this playthough, my Best Score is 71! I don't know if the game gets faster as it goes on or if I'm just getting impatient, but it felt it getting harder the more I played.

I believe I could do better when I play this next time, though. It's the appeal of games like these. It reminds me of the old mobile game Flappy Bird as it's similar in difficulty and simplicity. Will play again!

One thing left, I wonder why this game's name is BAS.

PICO-8 is a Fantasy Console designed to create, share and play small retro-inspired games. Games made for PICO-8 are constrained in aethistics, code and size to encourage creativity. PICO-8 comes with a built-in code editor, graphics, and sound tools. Games are distributed in image files called Cartridges. In this series of videos, I discover great games made on this Fantasy Console, letting you discover these games with me.
