4+ GIGA BOSS FIGHTS
The original 4 GIGA BOSS FIGHTS is one of my favorite games I've made for Pico-8. Every now and then I come back to it and play it for a bit. Last time I did that, I noticed a few minor bugs that bothered me, so I decided to fix them. Long story short, what started as a quick bug fix, ended up adding more and more features, so I decided to make it a "plus" release.
So here it is, after more than 6 years of the original release, the new and improved 4+ GIGA BOSS FIGHTS. Here's some of the new features:
- Each ship now has different shooting styles and different power levels. Look at the DPS (Damage Per Second) on the bottom left corner of the ship select menu.

I've been considering using Pico-8 Education Edition to teach kids the cozy world of game-dev in pico8. But one friction I've had is that using a tablet (most kids nowadays have access to one), it's impossible to hit the escape key (I've tried it with a couple of bluetooth keyboards).
Again, it's meant for kids, so I'm not really looking for a roundabout complex solution.
It would be great if this educational tool had an alternative way to hit [esc]. I'm open to any possible alternatives really, but I do think it would open the door to a lot of kids to play with the tool and have fun with it.
Any thoughts on this?
Jose
