Show HN: Flynn's Arcade (Pico8 on Mobile)
https://rohitjha.com/labs/flynns-arcade
Tldr: love pico 8 and needed something that runs it on iphones (can play between meetings or on travel!)
- Play on mobile for best experience
- Retro 8bit mobile emulator based on Pico-8 Fantasy Console with 500+ retro games (reimagined arcade favs)
- Pick your Virtual Cartrige from full list or gallery or Editors Picks (me!).
- Favorite the games you like (will persist on same device)
- Search “pico 8” on youtube and reddit/google to find games you like (should be there!)
- Offline - once game loads, works even on Airplane mode
- Persistent - can leave game in background tab and come back to it
- Virtual Gamepad - most efficient virtual gamepad design based on famous consoles
- on PC/Mac - recommend resizing browser window to mobile form factor (responsive) and use physical keyboard
iOS and Android apps coming soon! (This is a total labour of love so it will happen when it happens)
Issues: - sound on ios mobile browsers dont work when phone is in Focus or DoNotDisturb mode
