The game was developed using the PICO-8 fantasy console.

  • First input: Aim on the X axis.
  • Second input: Aim on the Y axis.
  • Third input: Throw dart.

After you throw the dart, press X again to start with the next dart.


Rules

You have 5 darts to get the best score. After the fifth throw the score will be be reset.

About

This is the first game I develop for a game jam. The limitation of writing a functioning game with 500 characters or less has been quite a challenge, but a fun challenge!

It took about 5 hours to develop the game and then another 3 hours to minify the code and remove features that wouldn't fit in 500 characters.
