Here's how to make your Pico-8 game playable on itch.io!

• Export from pico: EXPORT FILENAME.HTML 
• It makes FILENAME.HTML and FILENAME.JS
• Rename  FILENAME.HTML to INDEX.HTML (cuz that is what itch.io wants) then ZIP those two files.
• Now, in itch.io upload, choose HTML instead of Executable and upload the zip
• Choose 750x640 display size (Thanks, KittenM4aster!)
• After you upload, you can change the theme of the page to match your game, like this: https://thattomhall.itch.io/myrrhs-edge

Those are the tricky bits -- fill in the rest and you are good to go!

FYI I actually use 750 x 640 (which is the size recommended in the PICO-8 manual) on all my PICO-8 games on itch and it works great. I think the extra width is so that you can see the clickable buttons on the side (although the layout for those is unfortunately broken in Chrome in the latest version)

I've actually noticed some of the submissions have some scaling/rounding issues where not all pixels are displayed as squares...I'm not sure what dimensions those ones are using but they are apparently not good dimensions to use :p

Hmmm thanks for the info!

Hello.

Whenever I click on the start button, the game won't load. Am I doing something wrong?

Which game? Did you make a Pico-8 game that runs in Pico-8 and then follow all those steps?

Also... This is a game jam that finished January 1st. Maybe try looking at www.lexaloffle.com in the manual?

I have already made two games on pico8, but nothing happens at startup, help
