Another old concept. Wanted to experiment with a re-imagined Sparkster / RocketKnightAdventures. Always fun to imagine what a potential sequel could look like, mixing elements from all the old games. I've always found the series mechanics really fascinating.

Sparkster or Rocket Knight from the series of the same name, standing on a grass island, surrounded by water. A wolf driving some kind of spiked machine is approaching on one wheel. In the back are submarines.

And to cap off my lil game showcase, in 2024 I finished a small PICO-8 project. Most of it was done during my lunch breaks over the course of a couple years. It was a lot of fun to work with PICO-8, but I had to refactor everything multiple times as I hit the limit of what could fit on there.

The starting area of the game, the prince standing in the corner of a forest.The prince assaulted by a pair of snakes in a desert while a helpful skull is offering a tip for the journey ahead.The prince crossing the great bridge, stepping into the dragons realm.An arena surrounded by lava, with giant knights, snakes, and a cultist ready to oppose the prince.
