Hi,
This is our team's first open-source video game project with PICO-8 game engine.
Game is a tribute to the original "Empire Strikes Back" on the Atari 2600 console.
This won't be a direct port of the original, more like a reinterpretation.
Full PICO-8 game project can be downloaded by clicking below URL link:

(above URL link has the most recent stable build and might be newer than the cart shown below)
Enjoy!

Hi,
My team has been working on this PICO-8 game for a few weeks.
We are ending dev now and starting another game with another engine.
It's been a joy working with PICO-8 and it's worth the price.
Only complaint is the code IDE - it's a pain to work with:
- The length of each code line is way to short.
(Scroll bars might help)
Everything else is perfect, thanks!
