Can the controls be remapped or remappable? player 1 and 2 get in eachother's way, with the keyboard controls.

Pico-8 defines these keys and I think you can change them in one of the config files but am unsure which. I always played 2 player with connected controllers for this very reason.

I see.

I don't have controllers, and I was hoping to play this with my girlfriend. It is a game she really enjoyed in her childhood.

Would it be possible for me to download the game and mess around with the config files, as a txt file?

Hi, I just downloaded the Windows version and there doesn't appear to be an easy way to do this (no config file). If you have a purchased version of pico 8 installed, you can use the KEYCONGIF utility (apparently): https://pico-8.fandom.com/wiki/Keyconfig

No idea how you'd do it if running the executables though without downloading a third-party application to do this - suggest you're very careful if you have to go this route though.

Thank you for looking into it. I don't have a pico 8.

However, I did look around on the web a bit more and found that a website called retrogames has the title. Playable in browser, with adjustable keys built in as well. So I might play that instead.
