A SIDE-SCROLLING BLAST FROM THE PAST
Based on the original Amiga classic I loved playing as a kid, this is my tribute to a game that left a serious impression. Getting into PICO-8 lit a fire — rebuilding this classic was my way of seeing how far I could take it. So fire it up, and enjoy a compact, side-scrolling shooter where you pilot a bipedal mech, blast enemies to bits, and try not to overheat. Built entirely in PICO-8 — same spirit, smaller footprint.
HOW TO PLAY
The game is perfectly playable with a controller, but I recommend playing it with keyboard and mouse — just as the developers originally intended.

8SH – A tiny precision platformer adventure
Hello everyone,
I'm happy to share my latest project: 8SH, a small adventure platformer made in Pico-8.
It features smooth movement and tight, responsive controls, with short levels that focus on timing, flow, and precision.
Inspired by The End is Nigh by Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel, I aimed to capture that same snappy feel in a more compact format.
This is a personal Pico-8 release, and I’d love to hear what you think — feedback is always welcome!
