A lightweight endless runner engine for Pico-8.

My entry in the Pico-8 1k jam. Where you have to make a game or software with a compressed size of 1 KB my entry is 992 B and is an endless runner engine you can use to make your dream game! 

Features

  • Platform spawner with pooling and randomization
  • Basic player control
  • Gravity
  • Basic Collision
  • Simple state machine

It is only 540/8192 Tokens in size leaving you plenty of room to build your game around the engine. I have included a commented version of the code; it's slightly bigger at a compressed size of 1541 B. The upside is the Token count being nearly the same at 543.

Please send me anything you use this to make, I would love to try your games!
