Ultimate Odyssey, a PICO-8 RPG

Every once in a while, I take some personal time to just hole up and build a little game in PICO-8.  After going so heavily working on Welcome Aboard, Captain, I kind of needed a little break, and the low-stress development environment of PICO-8 is just the ticket.  It's relaxing, fun, easy, and the tight constraints on what you can do with the platform really force you to avoid doing something big.

Recently, I decided it would be fun to dust off an old Ultima style PICO-8 game I'd been tinkering with and finish it.  It's a fun little pixel art adventure I call Ultimate Odyssey.  You play with the arrow keys and the Z and X keys.  Wander around the little pixel art world, fight monsters, complete quests, level up, and ultimately take on an enemy who is terrorizing the lands.

I'm particularly happy with how much "world" and quests and fun little details I was able to get into the game.  There are lots of different enemies, locations, and places to explore, and it pushes right up against the "token" limit for PICO-8, so there's no room to add anything else, so I won't be tempted to keep adding and adding to it. It's just a fun little self-contained adventure!

It's free and works in your browser.  Enjoy!
