A retro-style panda platformer game. This is fork re-written on JavaScript.
I was impressed of the original game written by Bruno but my knowledge of LUA is almost zero but I know a bit of JavaScript. Luckily, thanks to @nesbox the TIC-80 is supported both LUA and JavaScript so I decide to re-write this game and call my remake - 8 Bit PandaJS.
Refactoring is still in progress and some functionality still not work correctly. Please feel free to contribute and enjoy the coding!

For development purpose, running scripts configure Babel and tic80 to watch changes.
