I ended up running out of Pico-8 code space with only two fights programmed in and had to add a detailed tutorial screen to try and explain the convoluted mechanics and still players had trouble figuring out what was going on at first… But once you get it, I’m sure it’s beauteous.

I’m impressed with all the games –yours included– from the jam and excited to see what you’ll make with PocketC.H.I.P.!

I think I’ve played Space Tank 9000 everyday…so much fast, furious fun.

Making games with Pico-8 has been a blast and I can’t wait to play them all on my PocketCHIP, which should hopefully be arriving soon. Had I not seen the PocketCHIP, I probably wouldn’t have discovered Pico-8, so in many ways, making games is how I can contribute back to help make PocketCHIP a fun device to play on.
