Very fun little game! I don't understand one thing, however: what are the p1 and p2 controls for in the options menu? The assigned buttons don't seem to do anything...
Thanks! Those menu options are built-in as standard to PICO-8 (which the entry was made in). So, I can see why it would be confusing, as they have no relevance to this particular game.
I assume you have no plans to keep updating this game or anything, but if by any chance you do, I have two little suggestions:
make it a little more interactive. For now the game consists of dragging the mouse across the screen and being lucky. Maybe make it so that it's a bit more "work" to find the correct numbers? For example making the correct numbers slightly shake, become bigger or something similar, so you can recognize and "mark" them not by just being lucky, but by knowing that that is a correct number.
Also, maybe limit the maximum size of the square you use to mark the numbers, since you can just mark the entire screen and that makes the game a bit too easy.
I don't know anything about programming so I don't know if this is even possible inside PICO-8... but yeah, just wanted to give a layman's two cents :)
As a fan of the show, this game gave me, Beef Gravy, an opportunity to try to get Lil Beef to watch Severance but all it made him do was feel bad for anyone getting a job at Lumon! This was awesome. Very impressed with how you made it look and feel like the real thing.
Haha, that was awesome! 😄 Thanks for creating (+sharing) this. Glad you enjoyed it for what it is + sorry we couldn't entice Lil Beef to join us (oh well - more music, dance + waffles for the rest of us! 😅)

Hi, this is an absolutely fantastic game!
Any chance of getting a .p8 or .png file so I can play it anytime, anywhere on my MMP?
I'm absolutely clueless as to what I should/can do with the source code.
Many thanks in advance!

Got my dance party. whew! Nicely done.
I dont undestand, but fun anyway :)
Bucket 1 is a beast! love the game!
Really well done! Fantastic aesthetic. Now I know how my innie feels.
Thanks a lot 😊
Yup, our Innies are in a perpetual 128x128 cage of pixels (could be worse! 😉)
..and thx again for the CRT plate, made all the difference! 👍
I'm glad the CRT plate was finally useful to someone! Perfect use case. :) Hope it wasn't too hard to update to the latest PICO-8.
this is really clever, severance is a good show
Thank you for the kind words. 😊
It is indeed - it blew me away when I watched it. Been slightly obsessed with it ever since (clearly! 😅)
Haha, this is amazing.
Thanks a lot, Tom - my Outie is glad u liked it! 😊
