Is the p8 available? I wanna try this on my emulator handheld, thanks
Hi, this is a multi-cart project so there are many p8 files.
We added mdvt2_p8carts.zip, it should have what you need. Good luck!
I realized that the .p8 files alone result in missing #include directives, so I updated the zip, with the .p8.png files now.
I started the main p8 file and when attempting to start the game it says can't start scene 2
For me, it works placing all the `.p8.png` files in a folder in the cart directory. In Linux this would be:
Then in PICO-8:
I don't know how you can set the working directory (`cd` command) in an emulator handheld. If that is not possible, you might need to drop all the carts at the top-level.
Just to report back, runs perfect on my R36MAX under ROCKNIX and native Pico8
Estou muito ansioso para o jogo ser terminado!
Hi there! I am glad you liked our games :D
Could you add an endless mode? I think it will be cool, to see how much kills i can get. If it's hard, it's okay.
Might want to keep an eye out ;)
bro don't give them ideas!
This game is really awesome, i've been waiting so long for it to come. The demo already is awesome! I didn't knew it uploaded before 18 days :|. This game already cool enough, but please add more new puzzles and more different ways to solve it.😊
You should check out our Twitter for updates the second they drop, we do our best to keep people updated there to the best of our ability!
And don’t worry, puzzles are some of my favorite things to design; there’s no doubt we’ll have things that’ll be what you’re looking for!
Really good game!! My only problem is that even easy mode is really hard. Call it a skill issue,but i think you should start levels with at least half of your health.
Hi! We took the advice. Now you start with 1/2 health and you also recover 1/2 health when you lose a character.
Bro this game is PERFECT! I loved the original and the one made by Crjönch. I am so glad that, A: the both of your minds combined to make this and the rest of your team, B: this game is FREE TBH I would pay you both for your work. Congrats! Instant 5 stars from me
Hi! I am glad you liked the game! Thank you for your support! :D
It is worth noting though that Crjönch not only made MDVT:Off the Record but also was a (very important) developer of MDVT1.
the actual gun is rlly hard to escape from.
Hi, now the player starts with some health so some shoots can be absorbed at the beginning.
The game is really nice, and also the gameplay (even though I'm in the 4th level, I still like the updated versions of the laser gun)!
