I had some hacking time last week, so after Sandro said in the thread that he likes Limpets because they have personality, I made this little game about limpets:

You can play it in a browser here: http://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=28846Or

Or if you have the Pico-8 fantasy console, you can of course download and play the cart locally using SPLORE. It runs well on eg a Pocket C.H.I.P. or Raspberry Pi.

Resistance? Do you mean something to do with the "flight model" or that the Type-6 in the piracy scenario shouldn't shoot back?

I mean in terms of flight model. I think it would be better if it moved like Asteroids or Lunar Lander. If you move in one direction, you should continue moving in that direction unless you thrust against it.

Aha, but for that you'd need a larger playfield, or you slam very quickly into the edges of the 128px world we currently have.

If you own Pico-8, download the cart and it's easy to remove the drag (comment out lines 711 and 712 under "-- DRAG" so you can see for yourself.

I'm working on a version 2 of the game already though which will change the world a little bit.
