You can get the background image in Firefox with right-click > View Background Image, but with Chrome you’d have to check the page source code. So I uploaded it along the game executables as “picosonic itch.io page background 4x.gif” to make it easier. Enjoy!
Thank you! I didn’t do anything special to support DS4 (I tested Xbox-like controllers though) so I guess the PICO-8 web template was just good enough. Reminds me of InfernoPlus saying he can’t play most games on Steam with DS4, but he managed to make Mario Royale work with it. Maybe web tech has just something that makes it easier (that said, I managed to use all of my controllers including DS4 on PC when using Steam Big Picture)
this.. isnt too playable, but the movement doesnt feel that bad. also you can "fix" the lag by making the base game 30 FPS 'w ' (that is, if thats possible to do)
Were you playing on the web version, or did you have issues on standalone too? Web version definitely has audio lag, but I didn’t feel control lag (time between input and character motion), so what made it hard for you to play?
Otherwise, targetting 30 FPS would make it more stable indeed, but I’ll try to fix my inefficient physics and heavy background rendering first, I really want to have steady 60 FPS like the original games.
just wanted to point out that those two details are just default pico-8 things (not to say that this game isn’t incredible, but those two things weren’t really added as details)
This is so awesome!!! The control is so fluid and the plataforming is better than a lot of Official Sega Games, and I really loved it. Congratulations, it was a great experience :D
I remember playing a lot of Sonic 3 on Sega Genesis. It was a sensational game. And now I see more proof of competence on the part of the fans, with this project. It is already impressive in itself due to the context surrounding Pico-8. Congratulations on this incredible work.
One mistake: You say its Pico island, but the game says Angle Island. DUDE THIS IS AWESOMMMMEEEEEEEE! Is this based on a specific Sonic game? Because I had one a long time ago that had the same trampoline in tree setup in the beginning to the top left above the start with a secret.
If you decide to put a ton more effort into this, you could add a coin globe and tails too! Although I dont think there is a reason you would, since its just a bunch of effort and minimal outcome

i cant find the first emerald
but this is good
Ok for find The red emerald (first emerald) go to The part what in Sonic 3 are speed monitor AND ring monitor upper (only in sonic 3 AND pico Sonic)
nice dude i beat it
I can never find that white emerald.... I got all the rest.
It’s well hidden, but follows some logic… I’m considering adding better visual cues in a future update, though.
jogo top adoro jogos do sonic marco infacia de todos sempre marcara
completed the demo!
This is a great game! kinda short, but collecting the emeralds proves timeworthy
Also I like the background gif on the page, and I was wondering if you could post it
Thanks!

I think I found it
We just discussed your game on our podcast! Come check us out!
Episode 34: Works in Progress
http://scrachingtheitch.libsyn.com/
I finally got some time to listen to it. Thanks for taking the time to cover it!
The two other games you covered on this episode also caught my interest, I’ll check them out!
I like this and the thing I really like is that it is Dualshock 4 compatible!

Super cool work! The movement feels so good, and I like the Chaos Emeralds being scattered around (reminds me of Sonic 1 on Master System). Great job!
Pretty cool demo! I'm impressed!

web. good luck optimizing!
This game better be good
I really appreciate the smaller details, like the loading cartridge screen and the game saving icon. Great job man
just wanted to point out that those two details are just default pico-8 things (not to say that this game isn’t incredible, but those two things weren’t really added as details)
which buton is the start buton reply plz im on keybord
Nevermind its c
This is incredible! having a more exploration-focused game like Sonic CD works incredibly well for the Pico-8!
This is so cute!

Thank you! I didn’t have time to edit a video, so thanks for yours too!
I’ll try to bring some updates in the incoming weeks.
[Reply]I played sonic 2 on the Xbox360 (dose anyone played(or even remenberd that port))
really nice, feels just like old sonic
Thank you!
how do u play
never mind i got it
One mistake: You say its Pico island, but the game says Angle Island. DUDE THIS IS AWESOMMMMEEEEEEEE! Is this based on a specific Sonic game? Because I had one a long time ago that had the same trampoline in tree setup in the beginning to the top left above the start with a secret.
I feel the level it's based on Sonic 3 (yup, Angel Island Zone) , and the controls based from Sonic 1
Yeah! Thats the one I had! Thanks!
Exactly! Although I didn’t add spin dash due to lack of time and hope to add it at some point.
Thanks! And good catch, I’ll fix the “Angel Island” in the stage result.

That was neat! I can't get that damn yellow emerald though, it seems too high!
you need to use momentum there is a ramp to the left of it
were is the andoid
<Here it is>
And btw, it's where
