Terra – A Terraria Demake

A short Terraria Demake on the Pico-8 game engine.

• A large map of 256×128 tiles, stored using PICO-8’s extended memory.
• Various biomes: Forest, Jungle, Corruption, Underground, Caverns, and Underground Jungle.
• 4 bosses: King Slime, the Eye of Cthulhu, Ocram, and Plantera, each with their own summoning requirements.
• Many enemies for each biome and underground, with most having multiple variants. (9 types, with 25 variations in total)
• Fancy world generation, with spaghetti caves!
• Mining and crafting.
• Various melee weapons, and ranged weapons that automatically aim towards the nearest visible target, prioritising bosses.
• A basic palette fade lighting system, with a day-night cycle.
• Quite a few progression/recipe changes due to space limitations, details can be found on the Lexaloffle page.
• A built-in custom character creator cartridge, so you can use custom characters even when playing on an offline instance of PICO-8!
• Optional keyboard + mouse controls!
• Life Crystals and Shadow Orbs to smash!
