I always love seeing what you're able to do with Pixel Vision 8. The fact you've managed to incorporate a full level editor into your entry is nothing short of incredible! Fantastic entry.

Thanks! Really appreciate the comment. PV8 is finally coming along enough to use for it's intended purpose, making LDJam games ;)
would be nice to have some maps to test it out! i can't rate this cuz i rly dunno if I'd make a map using the mechanics in the right way!
Why does it say "Post LD48", is this a LD48 or LD49 game? I'm confused..
Heyyy that's so cool! I made a level here! You play as a lil duck. It's surprisingly hard.

I like this game! Other people have to post their own levels for it to actually be playable though. :d As a level editing tool it's simple but powerful. I love how the levels are saved as images, and that you can change the graphics! The only kinda annoying thing about this game is that you have to wait around to play the level, restart, and even game over. What's the reason for that? Anyway real fun!
@notke oh, that was a typo. I kept thinking it was LD 48. Thanks, just fixed that.
Dope color pallet. I love the feel and the little candle enemy!
@fupi thanks for sharing the level! I loved the duck, I was hoping people would modify the graphics. As for the waiting I didn't want people to accidentally start a game or quit while they were editing a map and lose everything. If I had more time I would have added some kind of UI to make that easier. I also ran out of time to make levels. Originally I wanted to have a bunch I could put here. Going to make a few tomorrow to share.
Also beat the level after a few tries. Noticed how off my collision logic is so glad I have something new to test with :)
I like the limited color pallet! Great artistic choice. Very cool that you made a map editor. I think you'd get more players if you uploaded it to itch.io. Great work!
@pixelydian thanks, I plan on uploading it in the next day or so. it was just easier to have all my builds on GitHub since I automated everything when I check my code in.
@zapturk glad you like the colors. They're from the stock 16 color palette that @castpixel designed for Pixel Vision 8 - [https://lospec.com/palette-list/castpixel-16](https://lospec.com/palette-list/castpixel-16)
It's impressive that you manage to create a level editor and packed a lot on a game jam and I also really like the palette. Would love to see this grow and try other peoples level design!
Five stars for the graphics. Solid work.

The editor is working great and is easy to use! I also like the graphics and colors used. The only thing missing is more sound effects and maybe more sample levels to take an example from. Overall great work!
Thanks @viba. I was trying to get to sounds but I always run out of time. Hoping to make some levels too for people that want to play it over the weekend. Mine submitting your level to the GitHub project [here](https://github.com/PixelVision8/SpaceStation8/issues/new?assignees=jessefreeman&labels=map&template=new_map.md&title=)?
retro style) like)
Looks great! Just wish there were some more maps to try out :D
Really good job! I do wish there were at least some maps included, but it's impressive making a full level editor during the time limit :)
Good job!
Really nice design! Love the graphics! I struggled some with understanding what to do though! 😅
Great entry! I loved the concept of building your own levels and sharing them via pngs. I think it would be cool if you support any color palette (as long as its 4). Keep making games!
nice game retro, color palette is good
Such an cool retro game with neat graphics, I followed the same line, also I loved the customization options
nice retro game.Love the graphics! good job!!
I was just looking for some cool little game to play around with...I found it! Though I had a little trouble with controls.
Really nice concept ! Congrats on making that in so little time! Impressiv'!
Awesome work on the level editor, it's very impressive for a game jam! I love the fact that you can customise graphics too, there's so much potential. It's not as inspired as a complete reskin, but here's my level:

Hope it loads properly! Editing and saving it as an image was nice and convenient. Even though the switches don't do anything yet, they still make for some good background decor when reskinned, I like that. The retro feel is wonderful too - making it with Pixel Vision 8 just makes it even more authentic! Very impressive what you can do with PV8, it's really great! Well done!
@blessonhulk8 What issues did you have with the controls?
@cakestorm glad you liked the game and the reskin looks great! I plan on doing more with this so you'll have a few more things to add to the game. I'd like to do a Mega Man one next and expand on the idea of reskinning the game with the map. DO you mind submitting your map to the github repo https://github.com/PixelVision8/SpaceStation8/issues/new?assignees=jessefreeman&labels=map&template=new_map.md&title=
Sure, I can do that now!
Thanks @cakestorm!
From one idea to another I have made a map about smoking cigarettes in a temple?! :smoking: :classical_building: :spy:

I had a lot of fun making it, spectacular entry :thumbsup:
It seems that the player is invincible while climbing? There are cases where I could cross enemies without dying.
@yopox I love this level and great work on the reskinning! To totally got what I was going for and made it your own little game. Also, thanks for the heads up on the collision while on ladders. I don't think I really tested that out but now that I'm getting other people's maps I can fix all these little issues later.
Liked the concept of a minimalist fantasy console. Editors is very easy to use and importing levels is just a simple drag-and-drop (It was not working for me at first because I tried to drag levels straight from the browser, while what I had to do was to download level as a .png first and then drag from the file manager). The only thing is, I do not see any clear connection to the theme other than decreasing oxygen level. Everything else is fine, however. Would be even better if you provided some "official" levels to play.
@yopox Cool level! Lots of personality with so few pixels. I did get stuck inside a pillar when I walked off the right edge of the platform though
Brilliant! I've rarely seen something so cool in LD :D I love the community aspect where levels can be made with nothing but MS Paint. If I had to suggest anything, it would be to allow for different color palettes, but I imagine there are technical limitations I'm not aware of. Cheers
