Once again johan moves the goal post and shows what is possible when one starts developing games with the coziest of engines. Although this no longer is a "real" PICO-8 cartridge I am very happy that it still FEELS like one. Happy release day!
My pico8 metroidvania is now out on Nintendo Switch!
* 64x64 resolution
* classic formula distilled to its core
* every pixel placed with intention
It is called Ascent DX, tell me what you think!
