The maker/s of this are legends, I have seen quite a few 3D type games done for pico-8 and some nice 'engines' for them (I have also failed at using them as I'm new to Pico lol), but this is epic.
To unwind I still always find myself plying doom (1993) or the modded versions even when there's more modern and graphically stunning games out there.. the simple style is just fun/enjoyable even to this day and 'Doomero Inc' and other modders still put-out quality content.
I do have that. It's just the slippery character that I have to get used to.
Don't get me wrong - I'm not begging for the developers to add a much better character controller. The reason why the character controller is slippery is because, well, remakes and mods exist and so developers would naturally want to stay true to the original title. I understand that because I have made a remake of a game before (Which was bad but to be honest I made it using HTML5 and I knew barely anything).
Bruh are you kidding me the graphics in this game are stunning. You have never seen good graphics in a game if you dont like these graphics! No im just kidding ur good its just the graphics in this game are stunning well done to the creator!
nah i meant like when you compare it to other games, for what this game is imitating the graphics are awesome but when you compare it to other titles that release it is a bit worse
Hey Freds72, I decided to speed run Poom's first level twice. Try to beat my time in Ultra Violence. (i can't be asked to find the secrets, so i didn't include them)
hey freds72, I think it would be really cool if you could port Need For Speed, Metal Gear Solid or any PS1 games for the Pico-8. I know it takes time, but it would be really cool. Also, can you do a collab with Jett Lee and Piotrekfolt to make a Pico-8 game from all of your games combined, e.g. Operation B.A.M (Jett Lee), Poom (you) and Amogus TD (piotrekfolt) to make a greatTRULY great game
Dude, this was such a blast, the level design was really good too, i play this every time there's some kill time at university, please make a POOM 2, it would be really awesome
that's true when i was reacting the first time i thought it was so dumb but when i played it and it has a lot of quality's of doom but yeah the levels are different

woah!

thanks (and maker*s*, team of 2)
the goal was indeed to stay close to the original.
Well done Matt!
How do you export multiple .p8 files as an executable or a .HTML file?
see ‘export’ command in pico8 manual.
This game actually interest me of DOOM (But I get lost for many times.QAQ)
draw a map ;)
Not bad! Call me a noob gamer as I kept running into walls Rainbow Road style. The character controller was just too hard for me to master.
I still liked it because it was so retro.
keep trying - the recommended setup is mouse+keyboard
I do have that. It's just the slippery character that I have to get used to.

i cant't wait for someone to port DOOM to Atari 2600 or even the magnavox odyssey
this is proof a game doesn't need good graphics to be fun

I can't get past the Annex
do you have to pick up weapons or are they given to you?
Also a YT video on all secrets would be cool
Aside from that, Very good game freds72, would
likeLOVE it to become a console game!Also Annex on Ultra-violence is incredibly hard
Hey ultra-violence! 😬🤷♂️

greatTRULY great gamenow I think about it, Mortal Kombat trilogy WOULD be
pretty coolINCREDIBLY cool.if ya think so, upvote!
did a tally. Results from my school class, 26 ppl in total
now I know what im doing annex is ez
but ultra-violence is still very bad. Never again.
I really like how well this works with a joystick/flightstick. as soon as i saw the option in the menu i plugged one in.
Very awesome
One of the best recreations of Doom I've seen. Solid controls and very fun gameplay. Great work!
Very VERY good job. I love the feel of the controls and the gun.
Very COol
LOOM
finally a game that I can play on chromebook that wont run out of content in 30 minutes
The game doesn't work xd
can you elaborate?
from the web page?
using binaries?
any error message ?
Im in love with this art. Impressive. Congratulations.
why are is the game played with E S D F havent you heard of W A S D i'm more used to that but other than that good game
ESDF works on many keyboard layouts
indeed and the underlying game engine doesn't allow WASD (and no option to detect if using an AZERTY or QWERTY keyboard).
This is amazing I need more levels!
Finally a .W8D to aspire to! Unfortunately IDDQD does not work.
that shit is super cool
shits epic
It is a really cool recreation of the original doom
I just wish space was bound to shoot so I don't have to play twister with my fingers... other than that its really good.
fire with mouse?
I was playing on a laptop with a crappy trackpad.... my fault ig :P
same here I just changed to ZX and arrow keys
bcs i cba to get a mous
Dude, this was such a blast, the level design was really good too, i play this every time there's some kill time at university, please make a POOM 2, it would be really awesome
Thanks! (and hope Poom won’t make you miss exams !)
very nice
This is fantatic, but I can't play for very long - ESDF controls are hurting my wrist. Would you consider adding the WASD control scheme as an option?
thanks and unfortunately not - WASD is not supported by the underlying engine (and ESDF is only 1 key away + portable with other keyboard layouts).
You can use a tool such as AutoHotKey to remap your keyboard for this game.
This games is a beautiful piece of art and an engineereing masterpiece. I beat it and I love it. Would play again, 5/5.
Please make an original IP of yours in this format
Fun game! Although i found it hard to hit a cacodemon without autoaim or freelook, since they move up and down.
thanks - floating Cocadeamon are big enough to get hit by anything fired in the general direction!
this is a rip off doom
this is a total rewrite + total conversion of all art assets - so not sure ‘rip off’ applies.
More trying to fit the core aspects of Doom in a tiny package.
that's true when i was reacting the first time i thought it was so dumb but when i played it and it has a lot of quality's of doom but yeah the levels are different
Do you have tutorials because I have never seen such amazing graphics for Pico8

From a technical standpoint, you can find some behind the scene information here: https://freds72.itch.io/poom/devlog/241700/journey-to-poom
Thank you!
this was better than any console port of doom 1 ever.
ps1 doom disagrees with this.
the game? yes. why?
this is *not* a 1:1 Doom port - this is a fan project trying to match original game experience with Pico8 constraints.
which is the difference bteween windows and standalone? i didnt understand sorry
standalone contains files to play with pico8 ‘devkit’ - use Windows version if unsure.
quite good i gotta say
Nice demake, 10/10
