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.
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.
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!
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.
Your Amidar trainer really put me on to doing this remake. I'll link it in my game description if that's okay? Yeah, the hippo thing was my own addition, based on a Mario Party mini-game. I wrote this jingle that I really wanted to use but also wanted to include versions of the original jingles too. Good enough reason!
Version 0.81 gives a short-stun if the player hits an enemy when being knocked back by a door (if the enemy is really close to the door, they'll get a full stun).
Someone pointed this out on my Lexaloffle page too. Pretty sure I did notice this behaviour but completely forgot to implement it. Not sure if I have enough tokens left but, if I do, I'll likely update it.
You may well be right. I didn't really think about it, just used the code from many of my previous games. Not too worried about it since it doesn't affect gameplay but I do see your point that it could be confusing!
