Pew Pew Pets
A virtual pet/top down arena shooter game I made in 1 week to learn Lua/PICO-8. The objective of the game is to level up your pet and try to get past Wave 10.
Check out how I made it in this devlog: https://youtu.be/-h_RWeNpdvg
Controls:
- Move - ESDF (as opposed to WASD)
- Shoot - Left Click/Hold with Mouse

Install instructions
Source is a png file that can only be run if you own a copy of PICO-8. Copy into your carts folder.

It would be cool if you could swap esdf with the arrow keys :D
Cool game! Excited to see what you make for the Play Date!
Thanks! Excited to develop for the Playdate too :)
Watched the video and the game is pretty fun! But it would be nice if the controls were
W-A-S-D. But besides that its perfect!
Dude I totally feel the same, but for some reason PICO-8 has only set controls and it's set to ESDF... Anyways, thanks for playing!
Your welcome! And yah I agree its pretty weird.
no, player 1 controls are arrows, esdf is for player 2! (as shown by the controller info when you click the controller icon)
change your calls to
btnto remove the1param and this will be fixed.(also fyi someone uploaded your game to the lexaloffle bbs — which is nice for people using splore but maybe not something you want to allow)
Oh lol that makes sense... And thanks for letting me know about the upload to bbs. Yeah I don't really care - in fact I think it's nice that it's accessible using splore now.
