I saw Tic-80 the other day and it had less limitations than Pico-8. Both of them used lua, How different are the syntax in Pico-8 and Tic 80?

Tic-80 supports Lua 5.3, MoonScript, or JavaScript.

Pico-8 supports Lua 5.2 with several syntax extensions implemented via a preprocessor.

Neither Tic-80 nor Pico-8 include the Lua standard library and instead provide their own built-ins.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll be buying pico-8 this weekend.
