I didn't knew about this Pico-8 "virtual console", thanks for introducing it to me. I like these minimalist games. Having WASD also move the screen would be good because all the keys would be near each other. Fun game overall, having the bots deliver the batteries back home is a good little feature.

Well done on trying to make an RTS for LD, I think it turned out pretty well, it looks good, the robots are cute and after a little while I could recognise everything enough to figure out what was going on. Obviously the tiny pico 8 screen makes controlling units pretty tricky as you have to do so much scrolling. Played for a while but the only thing was it was a bit lacking in challenge or win condition that i could see, its a pretty massive map to try and pick up all the batteries, so I didn't get as far as collecting them all to see what would happening. I wouldn't feel too bad about the music its not that bad, having anything is still better than nothing.

Nice idea and nice graphics, but the mouse controls are a bit too wonky, so I couldn't play the game to its fullest. I think PICO8 doesn't quite work with the mouse :-)

I like how it looks but I can't make the mouse work D:

Never thought I'd see an RTS on the PICO, I didn't know you could use mouse input like that! Steamrolling the local machines with my robot army was oddly satisfying, though I think it'd have been nice if I had to defend the base from time to time. The graphics in-game were pretty good, the title screen was well done too!

(The music was alright, don't worry about it!)

Good work, keep it up!

you stole my games name...

on another note the game looked decent but i think it needs some more polish
