Intern Ian is a fast paced, speedrunning game, where you must deliver papers to your boss in less than 45 seconds. Collect coffee to regain your jumps, and traverse through an office with many obstacles and platforms. This game was my first ever Pico-8 game, and I'm pretty happy with the product, though I am aware of the few glitches a lack of polish.

Check out how the game was made! -

skill problem

I dont like it

COFFEE!

finally i finished!

You can fly, and it only counts as one jump. very over powered

hwat

Deleted 2 years ago

why?

because the source code definitely doesn't contain the 01001011 01000001 01010010 01001110 01001111 01000110 01000110 01000101 01001100 00100000 01000011 01001111 01000100 01000101 

?

is this a Inscryption reference

no

I can't jump for some reason :(

the key to jump is not up, also you need coffee to replenish your ability to jump

By spamming X and C, you can clip into the ceiling. I expect at a certain speed, you may be able to clip to level 2. I am not currently capable of producing this, but it may be possible to completely avoid level 1.

Nice

When you are almost in the end and you get stuck between TWO GOD DAMM BLOCKS WITH NO COFFEE. Seriously, fix the restart button.

loved the game

31.43 omg

my 36.8 lost zero speed

unless you started in second gear or something 31.43 is bogus

I did a commentary speedrun on this game

i suppose i'll say it in a new comment not in that original thread of runs i made:


here is my recorded 37.46 that i did after seeing Wah's 37.66 (could improve, i have a 37.40 unrecorded)

update: 37.06, 36.xx is possible!!!

update: this may be the perfect run 36.83

47.63

46.10

yo @benbonk

can i have the code for this?

I don't know how it truly is because of my hand

I found a bug. the third time I jumped with no coffee, Ian acted like he had a jetpack. Wasn't this an issue in your video with the limit?

39.90

Update: 39.10

how

tap jump twice in the same frame for super jump

i know of a double jump already, what routes are you taking to save a whole second

(+1)

nvm i figured it out

(+1)

So for floor one, there's a precise jump you can make on the lower yellow platform that lets you conserve your momentum. Double jump over the two little humps and then double jump into the door - momentum is conserved between floors (thanks BenBonk!). Second floor and third floor have no other tricks until the end door of the third floor. Double jump to get a free jump into floor 4, then continue on the top layer. By the end, you should have a free coffee mug to make one more double jump into the door. Finish with your normal route.
