When I first saw screencaps of this game, I had no idea it was built in pico-8. You picked such a unique palette and art style, that your game really stands out! There are so many loving little details here. I love the player naming conventions, and how the wastelands become provinces and sanctuaries. There are a lot of takes on the theme where dying leaves behind a corpse or obstacle, but this is such a fresh look at that idea! It feels like my predecessors are leaving behind power-ups and shaping the world in their image. Very cool.
