itch.io

just tried and got it working just fine - it should report in sideload page:

Date: 02/22/26 07:32:52
Version: 2026.02.21

not sure I appreciate the "that's not real" btw

can you elaborate? the game runs totally fine (at least on Rev B) on device.

totally - runs only on device

🙏

peek&poke are used but that’s relatively marginal and doesn’t really replace lua commands.

thanks 🙏 

there is no ‘assembly’ for pico8. all games uses the same language: LUA

thanks but I have my own projects (Playdate) to focus on - good luck with your console 🎮

you cannot - web only

any computer that can do maths fast enough can do 3d!

totally!

thanks - we tried to pack the experience as best as we could 

thanks!

no

thanks and yes.

you can have details on how it’s done here: https://freds72.itch.io/poom/devlog/241700/journey-to-poom

hi - code is available as part of the sdk, game art is not.

cheers

the command line instructions are for the Windows terminal (launch with ctrl+r ‘cmd’)!

yeah - much better 😬

hehe - thanks 

(check out Demi Daggers also 😬)

thanks!

ok - the levels are quite small and second, the underlying engine is quite limited. That's why saving was not considered.

ahaha! concept is bonker and very well done!

really nice - music is incredible, original score?

suggest to head over the Poom discord - I can certainly help for the setup

actually not me - pico8 supports html export out of the box

poom? poom poom poom!

has been done years ago!

see: https://github.com/freds72/poom-sdk

excellent!

major gripe: WASD is unplayable on french keyboards

minor gripe: some slowdown at startup/race generation

thanks!

Game artist/designer is Paranoid Cactus - I cannot cover the years of experience he has, but the usual Doom mapping rules apply:

• shading using sector lighting
• peaks of next section
• give the map a sense of scale (see laval pools)
• secrets!
• some elevation to make it more interesting (caves are "below", vantage points are "higher" ...)

maybe because pico8 is a different machine than GBA?

thanks

first door needs a key - the level is small enough, you will find it!

wasd is not supported in the engine I use and esdf works for both US and non-US keyboards.

thanks - and aware of this bug, neeed to find time to release a new version!

monster cast is safe.

backstory is still around soldiers corrupted into hell minions, but no explicit depiction.

actually it does - looks like the game did not save when I first changed that settings \o/

it's a bit more complicated: https://freds72.itch.io/poom/devlog/241700/journey-to-poom

nice visuals & polish (I love the menuing!)

keep going!!

note: screen tearing is really noticeable (Windows 10 - the game runs fantastic otherwise)

FYI - ESDF works for both US & french keyboards!

ESDF works for all keyboards, US and non-US.

you can use the standalone zip package.

see the instructions in the main page.
