Hey, this is bloody brilliant!
Have you published your code anywhere which I could learn from? I would like to learn coding by attempting to port this to my own platform. Ping me if you have time for me, please.
Several people asked, so I'll try to publish it soon. Anyway, if you are interested in the pure core mechanics (text-only) of the game, you can have a look at this:

while for the PICO-8 version, you can get the code here:
