Hi, pretty sure I used this one: "Space Rave"

https://www.fontmirror.com/space-rave

goes forever. Old-school!

always a great watch. Thanks for constantly supporting me!

green flickering stars is probably what you’re seeing

You know I've done a Pico-8 version of Berserk too, right? Check it out!

Haha, I would LOVE a Wizard of Wor teeshirt too!

This one looks pretty nice!

Excellent. Thanks for that. I'll update the game notes to credit.

you can just play it for free in a browser

only if you can’t play the HTML export. Unfortunately picotron different yet have binary exporters. They’re due very soon though 

no, they’re not the same. Picotron is kind of a successor to Pico 8

Great play through. Thanks for that. Always great fun to watch.

Thanks Tom. Shame I couldn't easily modify my pico-8 version but went into this one with your "Christmas special" in mind.

yup, the unminified pico 8 Lua code is included.  You don’t need to pay though, you can download it for free if you like

the png file is a picotron cartridge so, providing you own a copy of picotron, you’ll be able to load it and view the source

Don't see why not, providing picotron installs on there of the HTML export runs!

From memory, it goes back to level 1 after the first 90 levels (sorry, it's been a few years since I wrote this so can't quite remember).

Wow! Too easy?

Woah, I think that's further than I've ever got. By a long way! Well done.

thanks for the feedback, I’ll see if I can update the colours so they’re easier to tell apart. 

the only current download is the .p64.png file which is a picotron cartridge file. Currently there is no way to produce executables in picotron. Once there is, I’ll provide more downloads. 

haha, yes it was! Thank you. 

TBH, I probably should have thought of this before I even published the game. Better late than never though! 

you’d need to either divers the html page or purchase picotron

Hi, check out my proposed changes here and let me know if this will work for you:

damn, so many good ideas! Already have a few game modes though including “circus” mode. That doesn’t require any colour matching!

I think the shapes/ faces would be a great addition. I'm sure you're not the only one who will have trouble with the colours. Did think of this pretty early on but lost track and forgot to do anything about it.

Maybe I could look at a mode that has different, distinct, symbols on the balloons? Would that work for you?

correct. Best compliment ever! Thank you

That's a very cool video. Thanks. Can see you using a fair amount of strategy to clear large groups, pop floating balloons etc.

thank you. I got the same feedback about the fuse speed on my Pico 8 version but completely forgot to slow it down!

Haha, thanks, it just seemed to fit the aesthetic I was going for!

thank you. Really enjoyed watching the almost half an hour of video. Your enthusiasm and commentary is priceless!

Thank you! Hope you enjoy it. I welcome feedback too, always looking to improve it.

Apparently, in the original, the "perimeter guy" does eventually chase the player. After X number of circuits I think. Couldn't find any good videos that showed this, so I just made up the number of circuits he does before he chases you. I'm guessing I made him a little too aggressive?

As for the hippo stage, I'm not great at it either but my 14y/o seems to be able to nail it every time!

not sure what you mean. Please expand. Thanks. 

Thanks for the really kind feedback. I’m away for the next few days but will look at updating the controls when I’m back. Glad you’re enjoying the game. 

The .p8 file (available in the downloads) is the pico-8 source file, unminified (but still a bit messy, to keep within pico-8's token limit). The source is in pico-8's version of Lua.

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.

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.

Thank you. Lemmings can't be creepy, surely! 😁
