Hey! If you own PICO-8 you can get the source code here (click on the tiny "cart" icon below) and you can modify it as you wish :)

Hey! PICO-8 is a game engine that tries to feel like a retro "fantasy console" by putting limitations on the screen, graphics, memory and sounds of the games you make with it. It's very simple to learn and very fun to work with and has an amazing community. It's paid, but if you enjoy making small games and the challenge of designing games with such limitations, you might want to try it out. Personally, it's among the best purchases I ever made and I love it. Hope that clears everything! :)
Hi! PICO-8 has the export command, which lets you upload your games as HTML5 or executables. There's this tutorial by Lazy Devs which I haven't watched but you might find be useful:
The TLDR is that you can do "export mygame.html" to get two files, a .html file and a .js file. All you have to do is to rename the .html file to "index.html" and zip the two files together. Then when uploading to itch.io mark your game as runnable from the browser and you should be all set! Feel free to ask more questions if you have them!
Hi! Glad that you liked my game! The reason the GUI floats above the player is because originally the game was supposed to be multiplayer, and having the health bar floating above each player was the best way to display this information. Now that the game is single player, I completely agree with you that it's unnecessary. I never noticed this. Thank you for the feedback!
