PICROID is a procedurally generated metroidvania-inspired platformer for the PICO-8 Fantasy Console.


Each playthrough offers a unique map, where your goal is to explore and survive as long as possible without shrinking to death.

 

There are no enemies or boss fights—just pure exploration and challenge.

This is an alpha version, and the game is still a work in progress. Feedback and suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Sometimes powerups don't move the gates out of the level, maybe just into another part of the level?

Occasionally, it’s possible to access a power-up earlier than intended. The power-ups and gates are color-coded to match, which might clarify their intended use in the level.
