Very good Pico-8 emulator

I haven’t used Picpic much, but it seems like the best option right now. The only thing I’m wishing for is more console themes besides colors, and a way to input a Pico 8 license maybe to access Splore and the console and such. Speaking of the console, there should be a way to access it like regular Pico 8 (maybe for if you input a license so you have the full pico 8 thing) so you can do stuff like regular pico 8. Like creating games and such.

Incredible developer

Gave feedback on Reddit. Developer implemented within a week. Actually incredible!

Fantastic

Have been longing for an app like this for years. Thank you SO much for developing this. Finally i can play pico8 on the go and have stable save states. Brilliant.

Great emulator

This is a great emulator that’s respectful of the player and doesn’t try to shove ads down your throat. I especially love how you can customize the controller layout to play with. I would love to see the Apple Watch support extended to support watchOS 10 for everyone who’s running an older device that cannot update to watchOS 11.
