Perdita Park

You are the groundskeeper of the enigmatic Perdita Park. Blow leaves to keep the paths clear, chat to the park's patrons, and help them find what they've lost in the leaves. 

Controls:

Arrow keys to move character and leaf blower

X to interact

Z to rotate leaf blower

About:

This game was created in 15 days using Pico-8 for Comfy Jam: Autumn 2026. It includes the core limitation of 'things change when you look away' with the areas of the park continuously rearranging themselves . 

I'm overall really happy with this one, especially the character sprites and interactions. It does have a bit of a sparse ending as I was running up against Pico 8's token limit towards the end of the jam. I also would have liked the leaf blowing sections to be more nuanced. Regardless, I really hope people enjoy it and have a chill time blowing some leaves!

I used the Palette Maker tool by 2darray to create a palette using Pico-8's hidden colours: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=35462

I reused and adapted a tiny bit of code for formatting text boxes from an unfinished project, because formatting text in Pico-8 is the bane of my existence.
