Ad Astra

A demoscene demo by Ate Bit for the Pico-8 virtual console.

Release date : 13/08/2016

Code & music : 4mat
Graphics : ilkke

Notes:

Please leave audio enabled, demo uses the STAT variables to maintain timing and scenes won't continue otherwise.

Due to the way I merged some _update and _draw code together the demo may go out of sync if you don't have the window focused. This may only affect watching it in pico-8 rather than the web version however.

This is so sick! The music is awesome, and I especially love that reflection in the water.

Thank you, that really made my day!

Definitely some old-skool skillz were used to think up this awesome showcart. Kicking music, great animation, and all in outer space. Perfect ! :D

Great stuff, music is great, and how you managed to fit all those different techniques into one cart is beyond me!

This cart was broken by changes in number parsing which no longer allows scientific notation -- @4mat I hope you don't mind I went ahead and patched the cart -- now with the id #ad_astra instead of the original #26834
