Shards of Destiny
This is an early draft submitted for the weekly game jam.
We're now deep into alpha, with version 0.1.3 released. See the dev log for more (I know you want)!
Let's call it beta now :)
Version 1.0 is upon us!
Find the three shards of the magic mirror and defeat the mad sorcerer in his lair to set your land free.
It's a tiny (as Pico-8 allows) RPG with open world, dungeons and (simplistic) puzzles made in a couple of evenings by a barely awake dad of an almost-1-year old, with the incredible support of his amazing wife (and said 1-year-old).
Play with arrows and z/x (if you know Pico-8, you know the drill).
Bump into things to do stuff.
Press X to view stats and to dismiss text windows. Z may or may not have uses later in the game.

Hi, love your game! Even made a map for it! However, I can't complete it... There are some places behind mountains I can't visit. I have all the items, but when I kill the wizard, I get the fail-ending... Please help
Is there any way to get monsters to give up chasing you? It seems like if you aggro something bigger than you can handle, you're on the run for the rest of the game.
1. Get to the castle, save and restore.
2. Get to the healer, heal up and hopefully you'll be able to beat the monster with restored health.
But yes, it's not something I considered. Thank you for pointing that out! I'll try to think of a way to deal with it.
Awesome! Boy I wish I could do stuff like this! So much like Ultima!
This game is amazing. I have nothing else to say.
