Cool little game =)
Had some weird problems though - the "right" key got stuck and I couldn't move right.
Sometimes the game freezes for a good 5-10 seconds before continuing.
I'm not sure if this is pico-8 itself, my system or something to do with itch rather than a bug.
Edit: I think it might be just my flight sim rudder pedals acting up, detected as a joystick.
