This is a little endless runner game featuring Pico-8 mascot Jelpi in just 500 characters of code. I tried to cram in the best graphics and parallax scrolling that would fit. Hope you enjoy it.

Controls: Press any button to jump, and reset to restart.

I'm flattered, thank you.๐Ÿ˜Š

I'm also amused, as this the first time I've seen a review of a game that's several times the size of said game's entire source code.๐Ÿ˜„

Amazing, as always ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Thanks,๐Ÿ˜Š

Took a lot of loop tricks to get this one working, but running in a straight line just isn't as fun without some parallax.
