The classic arcade game from 1981, now re-made for the Pico-8!

This was made in one week for the Unconventional Game Jam. I thought that re-creating a game that never existed fit very well with the theme of the Jam, especially to do so with the Pico-8, a console that doesn’t exist

The movement system was inspired by Piturnah’s “Asteroid Loop”, which uses L/R to rotate around a circle and U/D to change the circles size.

Having the gameplay be very abstract leans into both the Urban Legend, and the theme of the jam.

Polybius is available to play now on my Itch.io page
