You know those Big Balls that are sometimes on Power Lines? Turns out they are supply caches left there by the PLR organization to help their Riders. This one contained an Invincibility Power Up.

Just finished re-doing all the animations for John Glider, Power Line Rider! Trying to breathe a little more life into the character. What do you think?

Haha I love that you are getting all that from the new animations! He is definitely very confident in his Riding capabilities

I’m currently redoing all of the Player’s sprites/animations. Will be much more dynamic. Here’s a sneak peek 👀

So majestic..

What’s a good opening line to address a content creator who you want to cover your game?

Battlenaut @thebattlenaut.bsky.social · May 2

Zoom. Shock. Poop. Banana. Squirrel.

So your 'health' is tied to how much clothes you have on. I also just added a tiny little feature where the current 'Life' in the lives counter at the top left matches the state of your clothes. (hard to do in 5x5 pixels haha)

Scratch that. I decided to make the Boss HUD cover the whole bottom of the screen, which is more consistent with an NES style.
