Description
KONSAIRI is a 2D action-adventure game with PICO-8 specifications made in only 128KB.
Find a veggie, hold it up (KONPSI), eat it, throw it, etc., and move on!
Adventure in a big world with PICO-8 specs and cute little dots!
Action Mode
- Let's find and harvest some native veggie!
- Find the residents sleeping in the area and wake them up with the veggie "BEET"!
- Use the "KONPSI" to defeat your enemies by throwing the veggies or raise them and use the "KONPSI" to overcome the obstacles in your path!
- As time goes on, the life value will decrease a little bit. We should have some veggies to eat!
Cooking Mode
- Cut the harvested veggies at the right time and cook them in a pot. Let's make it delicious!
- When you finish eating, your life value is restored, and your jumping ability and other stats are boosted! They might overeat or get bored, right?
- When the health level of the inhabitants is high, you can get "BELL", which opens up the upper limit of the status, and "veggie Seeds", which can increase the harvest area.
- Residents will give you directions. Eat with as many residents as you can to reach new areas!
Dungeon Mode
- As the game progresses, you may come to a 3D maze dungeon.
- Rely on the mini-map (volatile auto-mapping) for BELL hints and exits! Again, veggies are your best friend here!
- If the enemy blocks your path, throw your veggies or step through them at the right time! Sometimes it's important to keep distance.
Travel Map Mode
- With LOTUS, you can fast-travel to another area in an instant!
- You can only reorder your BELLs on this screen. Go find a clue in the dungeon!
- Rearranging the BELLs correctly paves the way for the true ending!
- Some areas require a BELL to move around. You can determine the type of BELL by the pot material your residents are using!
