Sybil's Tail is a tiny, 15-30 minute long platformer made for PICO-8. Run, jump, slide, grab, and toss your way through 6 bite-sized areas as you search for a mysterious meteorite that fell nearby!
This is my first published video game, and a project near and dear to my heart. Although I wrote the music, code, and pixelled art for the actual game by myself, that does not mean I could have done it alone! In particular, I would like to extend special thanks to @osmoru, whose adorable artwork formed the basis of the cartridge label design, and @kitorchid, who made the incredible cover art for the soundtrack. In addition to those commissions, I also received wonderful artwork of Sybil from @MarziManed and @_pexl, who are both very cool artists that you should check out as well! And of course, I would like to thank all testers and of course my friends, without y'all none of this would have been possible. And thank YOU for playing!!!

A very nice little platformer. I really like the tail theme. Thank you for the chance to play this game!
not me thinking this was related to Pseudoregalia ☠
Aww, this was really sweet!
This a really nice and cute game!
For some reason the jump isnt reliable.
I thought this game was pretty cool, I liked the wholesome vibes from it, and the mechanics of using a scarf for HP and a tail to grab enemies is pretty cool :0
Nice little Platformer, I love the use of your scarf being your HP system
pov : sonic oc
yes
the graphics are amazing, well done!
Please add the PC controls in this description.
Excellent!
it's amazing i would recommend although the part after mushroom gorge is sorta annoying
Completed the game with all golden radish :D.
Also, love the subtly next level after finishing the boss ;).
if only power ups applied when green so you could get an even more ridicolously large tail
I really enjoyed this game, though with its few issues, i think the concept is really cute and if fleshed out in a bigger engine like godot, could be an indie darling like Celeste
thank you, I’m definitely considering revisiting the concept outside PICO-8 someday!!
