some bigger changes : 

now you can have a mini map to see where you've been and what you have left to explore - with an exploration rate at the end -- > but you have to find the map ! 

i got rid of the feather compass and replaced it with an insect compass... it will help to get the thirty insects... --> but you have to find the compass

don't forget your mum

i've changed the map.png and the booklet ... enjoy

a few small changes:

- no more screenshakes when falling from not very high

- the number of feathers at the end is correct even if you jump

- a summary table at the end allows you to see the number of feathers, the number of insects encountered and the time taken to finish the game.

"Mum is missing" is a contribution to the LOWREZJAM 2024

One optional theme is Peaceful, you'll find no fight, no lost life, no gameover, you just have to find your mom.  It's a little very tiny platformer  which will take you a few minutes to complete. Use the arrow keys to move and C to jump. 

If you download the low booklet.pdf you can even make your own little fanzine.


The method (thanks to formula bula) : https://www.formulabula.fr/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/CNFE_02.pdf

Thanks for playing.

Oh, what a cute piece of work it was!
At first I felt the anxiety of the little owl separated from mom, etc., but the gentleness of the quiet night and the non-hostile insects eased my anxiety.
Good game experience!

hey thanks a lot and thanks for the video !

What a MasterPeace(ful) game!

thank you (for the 'jeu de mots')

Always nice to see other PICO-8 games and this was a nice one as well! Map feels well directed, altough the last darkness based area wasn’t my favorite.

Other than that everything was really nice, graphics were on point, sfx were neat, map deisign well made! Nice one!

Excellent metroidvania 

thx a lot

Fun little game! Lack of minimap is a bit annoying, easy to get lost :) Had same issues for my own entry. Pretty sure I had 20, but it was 19/20 at the end. Might have jumped at wrong time?

mmmmh I have a theory for the feathers at the end…I’ll repair that later and I made a map but it’s a png file to download ah ah … 

Very fun game! I enjoyed navigating around looking for my feathers and mom!

FOR ALL THE MISSING MOTHERS

Bravo !

Had a lot of fun with this one!! Early game had good gates to direct the player along a path before opening up to allow a freedom of exploration. Well done!

Thank you for the kind words, I really like your work and it means a lot to me that you like the game.

This is great! Collecting feathers to fly makes perfect sense. I’m suprised I haven’t seen that mechanic before. Great production all around.

Hey thanks to you, you can find this mechanic in
