I think a lot of people would want a sequel! Please post in the Doomworld forums if you would like to continue development and I'm sure there are artists willing to help you.
This is awesome stuff. I love doom. I was wondering if you could release a cart for it as I have a portable Pico8 emulator and I would LOVE to be able to play this on the go.
I love Pico8 this is where I go when I do not have a retro gaming console, the controls are really simple making the game fun to play. Too bad I am very paranoid so it can get a bit scary
Its Amazing work, and it would be great if game would just restart level after dying right away, without need to reload if we are on actual level still, cause loading takes lot of time, and it would just feel more polished if it would restart immediately without showing loading screen with planet.
thanks and that was the original plan - I had to do a full reload to preserve memory, the initial level state cannot be stored on top of the live state.
honestly this is one of the craziest things to ever happen in the history of video games, but i havent really seen any gaming news sites cover this. maybe some have, but, i see "what we know about gta 6" (nothing btw) every few days and i feel like you and your game deserve a lot more recognition. 5 stars to you my friend, keep going!
This is a very good game! I love the aesthetic, the discovery progression, the monsters, weapons, and grim setting.
I love "ye olde" Doom's aesthetic, and this game captures it very well in a small space. It has a good balance of difficulty also. I love how one is able to get actually lost, yet it is still small enough that you don't absolutely require a map.
A few minor suggestions I would make would be to have a music change on the boss level; the ordinary level music seemed incongruous, and the music change earlier had a very good effect. A more dramatic sound at the death of the boss would be good.
It's the smoothest online FPS I've seen, one of the smoothest online games I've seen. It's the kind of FPS I would like to make.
Yo, I don't know how you got this on web but it's amazing! It's so intriguing and I was so hooked on this game! The graphics are great and I can see myself playing this game more often! 5/5 Star rating! Keep up the good work!
It's impressive to get this running on PICO-8 but what I like the most about this game is how it takes its own spin on Doom, that has a unique feel. Very cool.
yeah i've found many glitches that's how i sub 19. but i got sub 18 once but wasn't recording. You get sub 19 by scraping the walls when turning more than 90 degrees, you conserve more speed, overall, a very fun game.
And i would like to make a suggestion. If you can, can you please remake Team fortress 2 but in pico-8? that would be really fun. This game is one of my favorites btw.
This is amazing! i never thought someone would take the time to make the entirety of doom in a small 8-bit fantasy console, but this was AMAZING seriously its a really damn good remake! Also the sprites look pretty good despite the limited color palette pico-8 offers!

Brings back all of the feels. After defeating the Cyberdemon Doomguy still has a lot of slaying to do. Might need a Poom II?
thanks - I’d need to find an artist/designer to embark on such journey!

there is no emulator that are 100% pico8 compatible as far ad know - Poom won’t run
Could I try?
sure, why not - carts are available in the ‘standalone’ download.
I'll let you know how it works.
Amazing work!
WOW, this is good.
The second I put down my computer I was thinking ,wow what a good game!!! And I threw up my breakfast.

why not boom
most Pico8 demakes are named with a 8 or P in the title...
D8M might have been an option 🤣
very cool
pretty cool but i dont know how to get past the first section
see video a couple of posts below - need to find blue key...

hey i decided to speedrun it and got a 22.33 second run! having fun with your game
Not bad - WR is 18.69 so far (20.30 on Newgrounds)
Keep going :]
Great port.
I downloaded it. now how do i install it on my pico8, raspberry OS?
locate the pico8 carts folder (~/lexalofle/puco8/carts iirc) and unzip stand-alone archive in it.
Launch pico8, load poom_0.p8
type run
thanks a lot
Thank god someone made a better version and made it available on itch!
great game but please add save game
progression is saved between levels.
In-level save won’t be supported.
18:69 hangar. Newgrounds leader-board is really wrong and outdated.
ouch - I could get sub-24s with the strafe tecnique but below is tough!
well done!
yeah i've found many glitches that's how i sub 19. but i got sub 18 once but wasn't recording. You get sub 19 by scraping the walls when turning more than 90 degrees, you conserve more speed, overall, a very fun game.
Why did you delete that?
uhhhh im stuck on the hangar level and it says the door is locked pls help me :(
need to find the key - explore the level!
Found it! Thanks
:)) Btw it's a really cool game. And im impressed that this thing would work on pico-8.
thanks - game was a team effort, happy with the results!
And i would like to make a suggestion.
If you can, can you please remake Team fortress 2 but in pico-8? that would be really fun. This game is one of my favorites btw.
this game is great, but i dont like how i slide around lol
10/10
um, not too sure which .p8 file to yoink into pico8 (i downloaded poom_standalone.1.7.zip)
which p8 file should i upload to edit the game?
I added a "standalone" section in the "how to play"
If you want to edit the game, main.lua is the main game file.
