Show HN: Boba, a one button platformer for PICO-8

While learning pico8 for use in an upcoming game jam, I implemented a single-button control scheme for a platformer character. It was so fun to see how many different actions I could squeeze into a single button. I fleshed it out with as many screens of level as I could squeeze into pico8 s tiny constraints, and polished it as well as I could.It certainly has a bit of a learning curve, but I think it turned out pretty well all things considered. The entire project took about three weeks, including code, pixel art, and music. I m really pleased with pico8 s built-in editor and some smart choices in the music tracker. It s limited, but the tools I really needed are all in there.Enjoy!
