I have a question. This game runs in a Windows executable format. Can you tell me how you made it into an executable? I ask only because I have seen several PICO-8 carts available as .PNG files, but I have no idea how to play them offline. I consider it more convenient to play offline because I only venture out to the library once a week. For a fantasy console about sharing small games, as said on their website, they seem remarkably closed off. There is no official "player" software, which I am thinking of contacting them about soon. In the meantime, though, can you help me out? (Sorry about that long-winded complaint. Game is pretty fascinating, and demonstrates that PICO-8 can create more than endless roguelikes and Mario clones, no offense to either, 'cause they are usually okay.)

Thank you ! To run a cart in an executable format, you must have pico-8, load the cart with the load command and next export to .bin with this command: 

export nameofthecart.bin

This creates a folder with windows, linux and mac os executables . That's it !
