Please report any bugs or crashes you encounter in Padmaniacs. Detailed reports are crucial for helping me fix issues quickly.

When a crash occurs:

• The game will attempt to show a blue recovery screen with the error message.
• The Eruda console will also activate to display technical details.

To help me investigate, please include:

• What you were doing when the bug happened
• Which platform you were using (Web/itch.io, Web/GitHub, Android, or Windows)
• What you expected to happen vs. what actually happened
• A screenshot of the bug if possible
• The song you were playing
• The exact error message from the blue screen
• The error message from the Eruda console if you saw it

For the best bug reports: If you see a Blue Screen, click any button to recover. Then, tap the floating icon to open the Eruda console. Any red error text there is extremely helpful—please provide a screenshot or copy the text.

The unstable GitHub Nightly build and the Windows NWJS package are the most likely to have issues, but please report bugs from any platform.

Thank you for helping improve Padmaniacs!

Welcome to the Padmaniacs feature request thread! I’m a solo developer, so hearing your ideas directly is incredibly valuable.

What would you like to see in the game? New mechanics, power-ups, items or quality-of-life improvements? Please share your thoughts.

When suggesting a feature, please tell me:

• What your idea is
• How you think it would work
• Why it would make the game better
• Which platform you play on most

I read every suggestion and they genuinely help guide the game’s development. While I can’t promise to implement everything, the best ideas often come from players like you.

I think the documentation is clear enough but if you don’t understand something leave a comment or contact me. I’ll help you

So cruel

Nope. It’s not relevant at all

helps a lot . thank you 🙏

Not sure how to grow social media

Yeah they love it

i posted the video here on itch io feedback but no one replied. also posted on reddit ✓it worked went to r/playmygame and didn’t worked

Hey everyone! Just released LoreJS - a text adventure engine I’ve been working on. It lets you create interactive fiction games that run in both browsers and Node.js.

Link here

Would love to get your thoughts on:

• The overall concept and features
• The live demo experience
• Documentation clarity
• Anything that could make it more useful for creators

What’s working well? What’s confusing? What features would make you actually use this for a project?

All feedback welcome - this is still in active development so your input will really help shape where it goes next. Thanks for checking it out

My rhythm game PadManiacs on autoplay! This is a web-based StepMania clone I’ve been developing that you can play right in your browser, on Windows, or Android.

Game here: https://retora.itch.io/padmaniacs

The song is “Cirno’s Perfect Math Class” from Touhou Project (from the godai simfiles pack). The game plays itself here to show off the mechanics and visuals.

]Don’t worry about that. I’ll be adding the C-MOD feature soon; this will allow you to force a constant speed, ignoring all BPM changes in the song.

One more thing: The charts included in this game were not created by me and do not belong to me, so I cannot modify them. The authors of each chart are listed in Song Selection. See CREDIT

EDIT: C-MOD speed is ready to be used. Enable it in Settings menu

thank you mod 🙏

similar?

not sure if i want to developer a full game just for me and my friends

I’m working on a rhythm game and struggling to get players. What strategies actually work for getting those first 100 players?

The Windows version and modding documentation have recently been released. Would anyone be interested in testing the game to find bugs or creating test/sample mods for the add-ons system? Any regular player welcome too!

I’m trying to run TIC-80 on Debian ARM64 via PRoot in Termux, but encountering execution issues.

Why?

The Android APK version of TIC-80, while functional, presents several limitations that make development less than ideal:

• Touch-based controls are cumbersome for precise pixel art and code editing
• File management is more restrictive compared to Linux environments
• Multi-tasking between editor, documentation, art references and other tools is challenging

Termux X11 Advantages:

• Proper keyboard input for efficient coding and shortcut usage
• Mouse support for precise sprite and map editing
• Familiar Linux workflow with terminal access and file system control
• Multi-window environment allowing TIC-80 to run alongside other development tools

Having TIC-80 running as a native Linux application in Termux X11 would essentially provide a full-featured development environment on mobile devices, bridging the gap between mobile convenience and desktop-level productivity for fantasy computer development.

My Environment:

• Termux with PRoot
• Debian ARM64 distribution
• TIC-80 Linux ARM64 GCC12 version

Console output:

❯ proot-distro login debian --shared-tmp --termux-home
root@localhost:~# cd tic80-linux-arm64-gcc12
root@localhost:~/tic80-linux-arm64-gcc12# lsd
libSDL2-2.0.so  tic80
root@localhost:~/tic80-linux-arm64-gcc12# ./tic80
bash: ./tic80: cannot execute: required file not found

I’ve verified files are present (tic80 executable and libSDL2-2.0.so).

The Issue:

My Theory: Missing Root Features in PRoot Environment

The core problem stems from fundamental limitations of the PRoot environment that prevent proper execution of the binary:

PRoot Constraints:

• No true root privileges - PRoot uses ptrace to simulate root, not actual kernel-level access
• Missing binary format handlers - The system may lack proper recognition of ARM64 ELF binaries
• Incomplete /proc and /sys filesystems - Critical for dynamic linking and library resolution
• Limited ld.so functionality - Dynamic linker may not properly resolve dependencies in this environment

My Wish

I’m hoping to create a seamless Linux-style development experience on Android through Termux X11, where TIC-80 runs as a native Linux application rather than the constrained Android APK. This would give me proper keyboard and mouse support, standard file system access, and the ability to integrate with other Linux tools - essentially transforming my mobile device into a portable fantasy console workstation.

What I really want is to bridge the gap between mobile convenience and desktop functionality, creating a pocket-sized development environment where I can comfortably code, create pixel art, and test games with the same efficiency as on a desktop machine. The Android APK version serves basic needs, but having the full Linux version running in Termux would unlock TIC-80’s true potential for on-the-go game development.

Hi!

I just signed up and tried the website. Here is my feedback:

• The experience on mobile wasn’t the best. It was responsive but not mobile-friendly. The buttons were too small, and panels were off-screen.
• Social login would be great (e.g., Log in with Google, GitHub, Reddit).
• The 5-character captcha was a punishment. It would be better to use reCAPTCHA.
• The CSS and general look could be improved. It looks like a website from the 90s, which isn’t good for search engines or the user experience.
• Lazy loading for posts could reduce traffic.
• Give users more presence, as there is only a tiny text displaying the post author’s name.
• We need avatars, too. The ability to upload a PNG and perhaps edit your avatar directly on the website.
• The ‘points’ mechanic was a good touch. Keep it up!

Please bring Android support :(

Sure I’ll do

Makes sense.

I came from Reddit. Thank you Bro 🙏
