Wow! this game is turning up to be amazing!!! i followed the tutorials but lost my way somewhere near episode 60, it was a great learning experience but it turn too much for my understanding, but i enjoyed the way so very much and this is just a great result! worthy of the great 80s shmups!
Played this game today, very fun for sure. I never really properly played a bullet hell game, but I had a lot of fun with this one. I think the Pico-8 engine was used really well here, and everything felt very complete, and also quite fair. It also had plenty of challenge which was definitely fun to get past, and the final boss was very good.
Fantastic game! Really been enjoying my time with it. Especially with the Ketsui inspired scoring system -- without it, the game would be far too easy to have just immediately gone through.
In general, its very surprising to see a game of this quality come out of a series of videos meant to educate people on lua/game programming! Most of the time, tutorial series kinda take a 'good enough' approach given that the content in question is meant to inform, rather than truly create.
You truly are a craftsman Krystian! I question whether or not I could ever measure up to the granular detail you put yourself through to deliver such a great product!
Definitely gonna purchase this, but I'm curious: I see there are various OS specific versions provided in the download options. Is the windows one a proper executable with the ability to remap controls. I prefer WASD to Arrow Keys, and I've been remapping the keyboard layout for my entire computer to play this so far. Would be nice if there was some way to remap keys without essentially changing the functionality of my keyboard on my entire computer.
Thank you for the kind words, Blues. There is a way to configure the keyboard in Pico-8. It is saved in the confix.txt file. This also works for the downloadable versions. https://pico-8.fandom.com/wiki/Configuration
But the tool to change the key config is not properly exposed to users. You need to edit the config.txt file by hand. If you have troubles feel free to ask in the lexaloffle.com forums or on our Discord

enjoyed it, great game
I like it!
the pixel art is so good
the only disadvantage is the keyboard info
it should give you what to press at least in game menu
Enjoyed this as someone who struggles with contrast in games pretty often. Fun little shmup, love the cows lol :)
Can I download the soundtrack anywhere? I even tried going to the composer's website, but this game isn't mentioned there at all.
There's an extensive tutorial series documenting exactly how he made the game, maybe we can get the soundtrack from the files?
Though I also wish it was available for download or streaming
Wow, this game is fantastic. Controls are tight; graphics as colorful and clean; music/sfx are fun.
Panie Krystianie bardzo fajna gra bardzo dobre wykorzystanie pico8
i love it! everything feels so nice :)
This game is really addictive, and I am very impressed.
why there is no android version ?
it's a pico 8 game bru
Basic fusions of great emotions for a good night adventure in V.R!!!
Love the theme!
The pixel art in Cattle Crisis is absolutely stunning—it really brings that classic arcade vibe to life!
Great job on the retro aesthetic!
i love how the background is like a frame for the game window, it genuinely looks like an arcade game
