Pico-8 Game Quest

Objective

Build a game in PICO-8 following the theme provided.
The actual game itself is completely up to you, but it must follow the theme (and you have to prove it)!
The game must be playable inside the PICO-8 fantasy console. We may also test it in an emulation handheld device.

Theme

“Into the depths”

Constraints

You can use any freely available assets or assets that you purchase from sites like itch.io. This includes sprite graphics, sound effects, music, etc.
You can use any code (small snippets) freely available through tutorials or example websites. ALL CODE that is used from other sources MUST be cited in your documentation. (So make sure to save the links if you use something!)
Games that are obviously/glaringly too close to an example will not receive full credit. Example: Using code from the Nerdy Teachers example to handle physics is good. Using the Nerdy Teachers code base and changing just the level design to meet the theme is very bad.

XP will be awarded based on the criteria below.

10 XP: Follows the theme
10 XP: Animated PC sprite
10 XP: Map collision detection
10 XP: Item/Enemy/NPC collision detection
- You don’t have to have all of these - just something other than the map based on the design of your game
10 XP: Physics OR some form of game loop managed movement if not a platformer-type game
- Ask for clarification if needed based on the game
10 XP: Sound effects / music (as appropriate)
10 XP: PC action/procedure beyond just movement (e.g., jumping, punching, shooting, etc.)
10 XP: “Good” map/level design
10 XP: Designed for an aesthetic
