Controls
Arrows to move cursor
X to place mark/go level deeper
Hold Z for 1 second to restart game
Press Z to recreate demo in demo modes
Open pause menu (Enter/P) to:
- enable demo modes (auto - computer vs computer, fill - random pattern)
- switch between single and multiplayer
- open settings menu (this will restart the game!)
Settings in settings menu:
- meta level: ranges from 1 (normal tic-tac-toe) to 4 (81x81, four levels of nested boards)
- AI difficulty: how long in seconds will the AI think about the move. 0 is random moves, 3 never loses normal tic-tac-toe.
- game modes: singleplayer, multiplayer, automatic (AI vs AI) or randomly fill board.
Rules
Each board contains 9 a smaller boards. The lowest meta boards are just normal tic-tac-toe boards where you can place your signs. Where you move in the lowest board controls on which higher board your oponent can make their next move (indicated by the colored squares). Winning a lower board replaces it with a sign in a higher board. Win the highest board to win the game.
If you didn't understand that's my fault, I suck at explanations. Try it for yourself at small meta levels, it's not as complicated as it seems.
Changelog
Version 1.6:
- 4th meta level
- settings menu
- endgame sonuds
- changed AI
- bugfixes

Hi,
This is our team's first open-source video game project with PICO-8 game engine.
Game is a tribute to the original "Empire Strikes Back" on the Atari 2600 console.
This won't be a direct port of the original, more like a reinterpretation.
Full PICO-8 game project can be downloaded by clicking below URL link:
https://fallenangelsoftware.com/stuff/files/Empire2600X2/Source/empire2600x2.p8
(above URL link has the most recent stable build and might be newer than the cart shown below)
Enjoy!

Hi all,
Just reinstalled the pico 8 on my pc but for some reason the console takes 2 minutes to start. I installed it via the installer I got on humble bundle, and even tried the rar version but no difference, any ideas ?

This is a turn based dungeon crawler I've been working on.
I would like to add a story and objective on top of the mechanics in place.

Just wanted you to hear this. I'm still learning to use the tracker.
Fireworks are from a tutorial :)

A mod of Celeste Classic. The aim was to make all of the levels harder but make them feel distinct, similar to Super Meat Boy's "Dark World" (hence the name) and Celeste's "B-Sides". I made this back in 2019, but just recently made a few adjustments to it.
I am not a coder, so it's pretty bare bones in that department, and the code is almost identical to the original. The rest of the code I borrowed from other Celeste Classic mods. The major differences being the ability to toggle screen shake and strawberries not being collected if the player dies.
Controls:
Z/C - Jump
X/V - Dash
Arrow Keys - Move and dash direction
E - Toggle screen shake

Hi,
Absolutely incredible cross-platform video game creation software!
As soon as I saw it for 1st time I purchased it.
Runs 100% perfectly on my "Manjaro Xfce 64Bit" Linux distro.
Started our 1st game project.
Need help with making source code smaller.
Please look at source code below and suggest changes.
Below source code does the following:
(1) Moves player's spaceship with [arrow] keys on keyboard.
(2) Fires player's laser beam with [z] key on keyboard.
Thank you in advance...

This was mainly a study for me on making interesting-looking water with basic reflection/distortion. I think it turned out fun. Just relax by the pond and watch the ducks.
