Make it smaller to make it bigger… I never thought it could go that far!
I can’t believe I died at the boss! I realize that you can’t crouch to dodge the ball… and there is no checkpoint so you have to restart the level. But it’s still faster than having to go through 3 acts.
The PICO-8 rendition of Green Hill Zone is quite nice! I like the slides and all the effects.
I am myself in the process of exporting the tracks of pico sonic to compile a soundtrack (looks like PICO-8 export .wav creates very long tracks, I have to reduce them myself to 2 loops). If you publish the cart and/or export the BGM, give me a heads up!
Amazing :)
Just found this through your BlueSky. Um wow this is crazy. Haha great job!
Insane little concept, executed quite well. I wonder what it says philosophically/artistically that it completely requires familiarity with the original.
Thanks!
That is a great point.
It's hard to find people not familiar with the original to see what they think but I imagine they find it a lot harder to follow and visualise!
Very good! But i only play it on the pico 8 website because is there
bruh i fell in the pit 💀💀💀
Was it a bug?🤔
Awesome <3 This is just what I need today
OMG, this is so good! 😲
The sound and gameplay is spot-on to the original.
Quite possibly the most extreme "demake" I've ever seen! 👏
