Hey, for some reason when I try to play this game natively on a handheld it loads infinitely after choosing a ship. Does anyone know why this is or have a solution? Works on PC and phone.
Edit: just read some of the comments about using wifi first. Unfortunately my device does not have wifi :/

@Icaarus I have the same problem here. I've installed PICO-8 (natively) in my R36S, downloaded the .png file, put it in the carts folder and the game doesn't go beyond the ship choice. It shows a rounding cart as if the game was loading, but it stays like that forever.
Does anyone know if this is a multicart game?

Unfortunately, this game will not play offline for me. I'm playing PICO-8 natively on a Linux device, and it says "download failed" repeatedly when it tries to load the level. Tried connecting to wifi through usb tethering and it will play just fine, but the second I disconnect the issue comes back.
