One thing I love about #pico8 is that nearly every game automatically includes source code. I'll wonder how they achieved some effect, and can just learn from the code...

Less obvious benefit: I sometimes make mods to a game (especially the UI) to make it more comfortable for me to play-- since I often play on a phone or retro handheld, I might swap in larger sprites that are easier for my retro eyes... e.g. this quick sprite + 70 LOC mod I made to KiloWar, @2bitchuck 's remake of Mille Bornes:

I finished my little #Pico8 game I started in December:

This was my first try at a more narrative focused game. Always wanted to give it a go, so now I did!
It was quite a challenge but I think I'll do more of that in the future. I'll probably wait for Picotron through, because the restrictions in pico8 were biting me in the but quite often. It was a tight fit to say the least.
