Lemon-Shark

Lemon-Shark challenges you to outsmart cunning squids in a turn-based maze—think fast, plan smarter, and escape their grasp! Dodge, strategize, and conquer!

Lemon-Shark is a retro-inspired puzzle game that blends the nostalgic charm of Pac-Man with a clever, strategic twist. Built in the PICO-8 fantasy console, the game replaces fast-paced arcade action with thoughtful, turn-based movement. You control a bright yellow shark navigating maze-like ocean floors, collecting pellets while avoiding clever cephalopods lurking around every corner.

Gameplay: Strategy Over Speed

The objective is simple—collect all the pellets in each maze without being caught. But here’s the twist: every squid has a unique movement pattern. Some patrol specific paths, while others track your position more aggressively. They only move when you do, turning each step into a puzzle. Success comes not from speed, but from careful planning and anticipation.

Controls
