Very cool to see this kind of game on PICO-8! I agree that the inventory was not really intuitive to use, I don't know if the console allows for more than 2 action buttons, maybe a combination could have worked as well.

nope, only O and X

Olbap suggested that I could make it so that you hold O to play simulation and press it to open inventory I didn't like it at the time but now it seems that people find that better than scrolling down so...
