Kayaking

The prompt of the week is making a sports game using pico-8.

After writing down a long list of sports names and drawing a few sketches, I decided to go with kayaking, since its more approachable. The controls of this game is inspired by QWOP. Players need to paddle  in two directions alternatively and  time their paddling to achieve the highest speed. In addition, points will be awarded to the players if they manage to go between the floating yellow balls.

Instructions to play:

Use left arrow key to paddle left, and right arrow key to paddle right.  Paddling left three times will turn the player to the right, and vice versa.

Earn points by paddle between the yellow balls!
