Not really. You need the interpreter to run it, which doesn't come with the cartridge. You have to have the PICO-8 software to run it, which costs 15 dollars.
Okay, I think I know why a lot of the bugs exist, but it'll take some explaining:
1. This has been fixed.
2. First off, the wording of this is very hard to understand, so here it is summarized: When you walk off a ladder, you can still jump mid-air.
Second, this is because climbing a ladder doesn't remove your ability to jump.
3. There was no protection put in place for when you go above a certain speed. This also means that if you get enough horizontal speed, you can clip though walls.
4. This is intended.
5. PICO-8 has a set limit to how much memory can be in one variable, and if a level tries to add too many objects (not blocks) to the level, it crashes.
Great concept, but a lot of the mechanics can be very infuriating when you don't know how they work, and there's no tutorial to tell you that they work like that.
One time, I marked a space as a mine, but didn't realize mines behind locked tiles count towards numbers, so I lost the game.
Also, playing in hard doesn't seem to give more coins than medium because there's less space for coins to appear in, so it's overall better to play in medium over hard.
I love to play around in this... game? Whatever it is, I do wish the connections were displayed with arrows. It would make it much clearer to see what goes where. Also, being able to disable H bringing up the help menu would help, or maybe just add a help button. Still, a great idea, and fun to mess around in!
I'm using chrome on windows 10, and I think it may not be the game's fault, because I've gotten errors attached to localStorage on other things, so it may be my google account.
EDIT: I read the big block of text for iOS, (because I like reading, I know, I'm a nerd. What did you expect?) and I saw the bottom: "The only work-around for SIC-1 (...) is to manually export your save data...". Well then, I guess I'll do that!
