Scuffy the Tugboat

A metroidvania based on the old school children's book "Scuffy the Tugboat" (Little Golden Book by Gertrude Crampton) (see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4sRbow6GKQ and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scuffy_the_Tugboat).

Help Scuffy navigate down the river, while collecting power-ups, items and new abilities to aid in your adventure.

Requires: pyxel, numpy

Controls: Arrow Keys + Z + X + SPACE (Instructions are in-game) (see "consts.py" if you want to change buttons!)

Game playing notes:

• If you get lost, you can see the map at any time in the pause screen by pressing P
• The game takes approx. 25-30 minutes to complete, depending on how fast you progress! Sorry, I know it's a bit long for Pyweek, but it's a bit hard to make a short metroidvania :) ... thanks if you make it to the end!

Play Online:
