Another World: SURVIVAL

Imagine the game Another World, but with endless waves of enemies to fight! (#LOWREZJAM entry)

This was my entry to the #LOWREZJAM, using a display of only about 1/8th of the Pico-8 display
(64x32 pixels), is a new spin on an old classic!
 CONTROLS:

Arrows = Move player left/right/crouch

Z = Kick
X = Fire laser - when you get the gun at Level 3
(Hold for a few seconds and release to create a defence shield)
(Hold for longer to release a BLAST to destroy enemy shields)

FEATURES:

Endless number of levels

(Theoretically!)
Several classes of enemies to survive from:
Water tentacles: Don't linger too long next to the pool!
Worms: If they sting you, it's game over!
Soldiers: They will use all their skills to defeat you!

THANKS & ATTRIBUTION:

Code, Art, Animation, Music & SFX: @Liquidream

(Obviously totally in homage to the original Another World, created by the ridiculously
talented Eric Chahi)
Many thanks to @enargy for his "Vaca" Vector animation engine for PICO-8

Love the leg scratch scene. This whole game entry feels like an easter egg that could've been
somewhere in the old game. Everything feels like Another World. Nice Work!!

Rahrahrah I guess I should take a look at Vaca. Cutscenes!

Good show old chap. And I agree, you captured the cinematics wonderfully.

Really nice work! Feels like a bootleg Atari version of the game or something (in a good way) :D

Thanks a lot all, much appreciated :o)

@mhughson: Ha! Now I wanna play that Atari version! :D

There has been a (recent) and semi official port of this game on the Atari Jaguar, but I digress.

Wow are you a human?

Last year someone made a playable clone of Alone in the Dark, this year we have Another World?

Wow, I'm always impressed by the quality of things on that platform :)

As soon as I saw the thumbnail for this in the carts list, I just had a nostalgia flashback. When I
played it I found it a really amazingly done redux of the game down to its core action
mechanics. I was actually surprised the shield and shield breaker mechanics were in there too,
