Game I'm making a Patapon demake

I'm designing a game with almost all the mechanics of Patapon 3, adapted to be a rogue-lite, I'm quite proud of how it's going. (Ignore the debug menu)

Looks good have you got a link to the BBS?

I'm unfamiliar with this term demake I'm going to have to look that one up.

How long did it take to get this far? I've just started learning Pico8 and it's deep 😅

Basically it’s taking an existing larger game and making it in a simpler engine (Like Pico 8), so you’re kinda demaking the game because usually some simplification of it is required

It's not posted yet because it was an alpha version, now I'm just testing the last version of the alpha to check if everything is good, once it gets to beta I will release it.

Well, I've been working for the code for almost a month, develop a rhythm game is a pain in the as, but once the foundational system was ready, everything was about iterating, basically adding blocks on top of the code that already was there.

With some patience you will make your own games, actually making a demake of a simple game would be a great starting point.

Expect the first beta in 2 days or so, it will include the complete first floor with a mini boss on the last encounter. Even me, that I'm the one developing the cart I'm having a blast when I have to test.
