I really enjoyed your game. It’s truly a lovely piece of work! :)
It’s a perfectly polished game that fits PICO-8’s minimalistic and immersive experience.
The simple yet delicate UI/UX, the gameplay loop that never feels tedious, and above all, the way you perfectly capture the game’s atmosphere within the constraints of pixel graphics—it’s all amazing. I had never really tried this kind of incremental genre before, but this experience completely captivated me.
I read your devlog, and as someone just starting out on game development journey, I could relate a lot. I want to cheer you on for creating an impressive and solid game.
I imagine it must feel really great to be able to play your own PICO-8 game on a retro handheld. Someday, I definitely want to try my hand at Lua and PICO as well! Thank you for giving me such a wonderful experience and inspiration!
Thank you very much for your kind words, they made my day for sure :)
It is true it feels amazing to have your game on something you can hold in your hands. And to be honest this release didn't feel less amazing than more professional releases I was part of on consoles.
I highly recommend Pico8, especially if you are starting out. The limitations help so much to focus on what is important and finding the core of your game.
Wishing you all the best and a lot of fun on your gamedev journey!
