tailbone

Skateboarding dinosaur game inspired by the Chrome offline page.

Video of gameplay showing the dinosaur repeatedly jumping on cactuses and destroying them while dodging lava pits and meteors 🎮  play the web version
🎮  play it on the Lexaloffle BBS

Controls

  1. While rolling, tap once to jump.
  2. While jumping, tap again and hold for more air time.
  3. Release the second tap to slam.

Tapping anywhere on the screen works. Pressing space, x, or clicking the left mouse button also counts as a tap.

Gameplay

Use your slam attack to skate and destroy. Charge up your special bar by doing combos of multiple slams without touching the floor between each one. Every time you fill up your special bar, you get a score bonus and the difficulty increases.

About

Tailbone's my first ever proper action game. I built it right after I discovered PICO-8. The PICO-8 platform and community are fantastic and I hope publishing this code helps other folks who want to try shipping their PICO-8 games to the App Store. I know it's a common question.

The index.html file in this repo is where the actual game lives. The PWA and the iOS app are both running off that same file. For the web version, I've avoided the audio autoplay issues by adding a splash screen which delays loading the PICO-8 runtime until the user clicks "play". For the iOS version, this isn't necessary thanks to the empty mediaTypesRequiringUserActionForPlayback in the Swift code, so the game loads immediately. There are comments in the Swift code that'll help you figure that out if you wanna copy it.
