Restore the ships systems, deploy a fleet of satellites and rovers around the planet you orbit, and contact Earth for rescue.</p> <img style="margin-bottom:16px" border=0 src="/media/83030/deep-space-pico8-few-satellites.png" alt="" /> <img style="margin-bottom:16px" border=0 src="/media/83030/2_deep-space-pico8-many-satellites.png" alt="" /> <h3>About</h3> <p>The game was originally created for the 2017 js13kGames coding competition, which challenges you to build a JavaScript game with a maximum file size of 13kb. You can play the original version here (the game is five years old, expect some rough edges):</p> <p><a href="https://js13kgames.com/games/deep-space/index.html">https://js13kgames.com/games/deep-space/index.html</a></p> <p>After discovering PICO-8, I wanted to explore how <strong>DEEP SPACE</strong> might look and work within the much stricter constraints of the console - especially the screen size and 16-bit integer limits.</p> <h3>Controls</h3> <p>The game is played entirely with the controls - no mouse. The controls are also displayed on-screen while playing.<br /> z - open menu, buy upgrades.<br /> x - go back.<br /> up / down / left / right - navigate menus.</p> <h3>Changelog</h3> <ul> <li>2023/10/14 - 1.0.1 - fix an issue with the &quot;satellite build&quot; special upgrade.</li> </ul> <h3>Other</h3> <p>If you spot any issues or have any improvements/suggestions, please let me know :)</p> https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=54573 https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=54573 Fri, 13 Oct 2023 22:57:10 UTC
