Let's Try "Picowings" (PICO-8) - A 8-Bit Flight Simulator?

▶️ Watch on 3Speak


Picowings is a Flight Simulator on PICO-8. In thisgame you fly an airplane above a pretty landscape.

I haven't played it much, and I think PICO-8 limitations hurt the game in a way. Most of the land below has the same color which makes it hard to distinguish were you are. Also, I'm not sure I was controlling the airplane correctly...

I debated whether to post this recording or not, because I still don't know how to play it. I decided to put it here to give the game more publicity, in case someone would try it.

What do you think?


PICO-8 is a Fantasy Console designed to create, share and play small retro-inspired games. Games made for PICO-8 are constrained in aethistics, code and size to encourage creativity. PICO-8 comes with a built-in code editor, graphics, and sound tools. Games are distributed in image files called Cartridges. In this series of videos, I discover great games made on this Fantasy Console, letting you discover these games with me.

This playthrough was recorded on a Linux (PopOS) Laptop.

Thanks for Watching!

That's true... There's a Flight Simulator game that's so realistic you might feel you're flying a real airplane.
