Are you up for a co-op bundle to join?

I presume this would be submitting a pre-existing game or asset, rather than creating something new? And were you suggesting this game or something different of mine? Just wanting to get a little more information beyond the linked page.
edit: but yes. Would be up for it.
Hi, thanks a lot for this game, i have paid for the PREMIUM package and i have discover you don't share the .P8 file :(
I'm so sad because i can only use it to play on my system. It is it possible to share it please ? Thanks
https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=38530 core code is there, you can get the png file version from there or just view the code. For picoquest its only the data for the extra modules that is missing, everything else is basically the same.
https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?uid=43473 is my profile, links to all games featured here at some point.
Ok thanks a lot for all these informations. I was afraid that the Lexaloffle was a demo version, but if it is a complete one it is perfect :)
I will test you oser games thanks ;)
Yeah, I dont share the .p8 file directly but with most of my games I share all the core code via lexaloffle.
The lexaloffle version will have some differences, like some missing data or graphics compared to the paid for version but functionally should be the same. With that you can see and understand how it works.
Yes i understand. But i miss some graphics for a game i have paid ... it is not really fine. I only play Pico-8 on my TV, with Batocera, and we launch games with a launcher. We can only launch p8 games, the real cartridge format :(
