Heartgirl is a clone of Donkey Kong (1994) for the original Gameboy, made in PICO-8. I've been working on it slowly over the past two years.
I've come pretty far and then burned out a bit. I do not intend to replicate every gameplay mechanic from DK94, as I think that would be too much work for just me, and would require a lot more optimization than I am skilled to do to fit that code into PICO-8's limitations.
My current struggle with the game is coding the last few things I wanna implement (switches that control objects like floors and doors), as well as level design.
The goal of the game is to get to the heart and take it safely to the exit door (which looks like a hollow heart). There are enemies, hazards, and puzzles along the way.
Some highly work in progress screenshots, alt-text will be coming later when it's not super late at night :)
