Developer Canabalt and Tunic Adam, Atom Atomic, Salts publisher released a free mash-up version of Wolfenstein and the Persian prince. It runs on Pico-8, the fairy-tale of the game engine and consists of 15 levels of jumping through the gaps and killing the Nazi German.
Unlike in the original Prince of Persia, each screen shows you the full level of fog of the war effect. This makes me satisfied, because the action of moving between screens in OG Pop is used to fill me with terrorism. Do you remember the first time you felt the ground giving way and falling into some thorns in the Persian prince? At least when Sonic The Hedgeog ran out of the air, you counted down. Eesh.
You can find Prince of Prussia – not as bad as pun, but I feel like there is an absolute explosion here waiting to be discovered – on itch.io. There are more than 60 Nazis to slaughter, which I think is equivalent to a chapter of Wolfenstein: The New Order. Both Pico-8 action buttons are used to jump. Instead of participating in a Scimitars clash, you kill the Nazis just by stepping them from behind once you have found yourself a knife.
Saltsman has created a few things for itching, from free cells to Bandit’s Sokobans and Bandit accountants. All the good things, but nothing the opponent jumped over that window in Canabalt.
