Hey again!

I've recently assembled the raspberry pi powered pico8 game console that I have been showing off, and I'm proud to show that it is fully capable of running splore now! We still have quite a lot of tweaks to make before launch, but it's great to see it coming together. Now if you would excuse me as I go spend a couple of hours playing games...

I can't embed videos here, so checkout the reddit post for an actual gameplay video :))

This is really cool, on the waitlist

How are you handling the intentionally ambiguous orientation of O versus X buttons? To me the best solution is to have four buttons, and O and X are mapped like
OX
XO

Or the reverse. That way, it is up to the player when and if they wish to swap, by moving their thumb over.

@gradualgames You could get away with only using 3 if you arrange them like OXO, just like how the keyboard controls are
ZXCV
OXOX
