Changelog

NEW

• New games: Cryomancer, Oblivion Eve, No-No, No-No, YES! and Callisto.
• Gift-wrapped games. New games arrive wrapped up in your library. Tap once to unwrap them — ribbon, jingle and all — then play.
• Remap your controller. Put any action on the button you want, including moving the pause menu wherever feels natural.
• Rename games. Give any cart your own title — it shows up and sorts that way everywhere, and you can switch back any time.
• Move & resize the screen. Reposition and zoom the game screen and the on-screen buttons to fit your device, per orientation.
• App sound toggle. Turn the launcher sounds (like the unwrap jingle) on or off. Never affects in-game audio.
• POOM now runs — the PICO-8 first-person shooter, with its keyboard and two-player controls.
• Twin-stick controls. The right stick acts as a second player, for games that use both at once.

CHANGED

• Your library now sorts by the title you actually see, not the hidden file name.

FIXED

• Music no longer restarts when lots of sound effects fire at once (like the explosions in Birds with Guns).
• Sound now follows your output device — plug in a Bluetooth headset or USB adapter mid-game and the audio keeps playing.
• Games with their own pause menu (like POOM) behave correctly: the first press opens the game's menu, the second opens Pixl8's.
• Tidied up a batch of game-specific quirks, including From Rust to Ash, snekburd, void_protocol and Linecraft.

• A native PICO-8 player for Android, tuned to match the real console.
• A library with curated featured games plus your own carts, favourites, recents and search.
• Customizable touch controls and gamepad support, at any screen size.
• Low-latency audio.
• Pro extras: save states, a step-by-step debugger, and an input recorder.
• Back up and restore your saves, screenshots and recordings.
• Open PICO-8 game links from the Lexaloffle community straight into Pixl8.
