Is the jump to Picotron recommended yet?

Sat, 28 Sep 2024 10:28:49 UTC

With the release of Picotron to the digiverse, I feel as though the general consensus is to upgrade from less to MORE:

More sprites
More data
More map (extra files even!)
More detailed sound/music

But what I want to know is: in your opinion, does Picotron possess a comparable level of features to Pico-8 at this point in time?

Is the jump to Picotron recommended yet?

Thanks.

Hey all, I made a couple of other a while back and didn't post them here for whatever reason.
This is me fixing that, so enjoy these two: a deductive police line-up simulator, and a Cronenberg run n' gun.

Have a good one!

I decided to test out a cutscene, by loading an IRL apple into Pico 8.
It's for a new project that'll have short clips for getting items.

Tell me what you think, and if you have any tips for this kind of thing. Cheers!

I made a top down shooter in 650 bytes. Nothing incredible, but I'm pretty chuffed.
It has 8-d movement, strafing and randomly spawned enemy waves.

Arrows to move/aim, z to shoot, hold z to strafe.

Enjoy!

--edit: fixed spawn rate for 'Z'.

Here's a dog racing simulator. Bet money and pay rent by placing first.
It's mostly random, but still pretty hype.

math mummy, a math game prototype

I made a math game about extrapolation. You know 'A', but not 'B'. Solve the random equation to find 'B', then determine if 'B' > 'A'. Answer correctly for a point.

If you've played Flathead, this is very familiar. A demake, even.

Tell me what you think!
