what an awesome demake, i loved how you balanced the different weapons to make them stand apart from how you use them in the original doom, with the shotgun you really have to get in their face, and the chaingun slowing you down is a nice idea to make the plasma gun feel like a great upgrade. i was underwhelmed by the rocket launcher though, i think sometimes it wouldn't take an imp down in one rocket, and i would make it have a larger blast radius.
Love the maps and the sprites too, you made everything work great with the limited palette
damage is incredibly inconsistent and 15hp medkits do not help at all when the shotgunners and imps can easily kill you forcing you to restart the whole level, while you can stand nose-to-nose with an enemy and shoot them only for nothing to happen. im only on defiled realm but cacos have far too fast projectiles and imps have a fast fire rate but slow enough projectiles that you can hide in a corridor then dip out and immediately die to their fireballs
This whole game makes me jumpy and nervous, such as the dark environments, the enemies, and for some reason the 3D graphics too. I am scared of rounding a corner in this game because who knows what will jump at me.8/10 Rubber Chickens. P.S, how do you acquire new weapons?
Such a great game, i had a lot of fun playing it, the only thing i would report is that maybe the gbc filter is a little bit too much, my eyes felt a little unconfortable, but maybe it's because i was playing it fullscreen.
THIS IS AWESOME AND PLS HELP!First of all this game is awesome but I really need help because I really want to download it bc playing in browser is annoying. I own a MacBook and checked several times if I have the right version, however any time I have it on my Laptop it just refuses to open and yes I tried to delete it and install again multiple times but it won't work (and yes I always removed it from the trash bin bc I thought that might be the problem but it is still not working) Please I'd really appreciate help as I really love to play this, Thanks in advance :)
Thank you for your answer, I am a bit confused I am not tech-savvy and English is not my primary language, I'm sorry about that. I guess my problem is that I automatically dragged the file to programs and I'll try without doing that. The Error Message is simply that the program can't open, nothing else (Maybe bc it is not a program and I am stupid)
No okay, it is still not working, if I download it without putting it into programs the error message says that there is no program able to open the file :( Will still try tho
I like this game. It's like a doom demake and I'm all for it. My only issue is that I can't find the yellow key on Eternal hall of pain (i think thats the name)
I think ESDF actually might be the more classic control scheme from the early FPS era. I'm not sure which came first but they both seem to have been common around that time, especially after the release of Quake. According to this quote attributed to someone named Jon A., the rise in popularity of WASD was somewhat arbitrary:
"Quake did not default to WASD. The default controls in quake were actually the arrow keys. The Quake community started using ESDF and WASD (as did Doom before Quake). However, the big push toward WASD happened when Thresh (Dennis Fong) won John Carmack's Ferrari in the first big Quake tournament. After that people started sending his Quake cfg file around and using his settings in hopes of being as good as him. He used WASD and the rest is history."
I don't have anything to say about this game we're commenting underneath in particular (and nothing against WASD as a choice), this just caught my interest. My dad is a Gen X gamer who loved Quake and Unreal and he always uses ESDF for movement so I had a feeling it was an older thing.
any help in getting this to run on Powkiddy RGB30 running Jelos? I have placed the Rasppi PNG file in both cart and bbs/cart folders and it doesn not show up?
Thanksfor the help. I can get it to recognise the file but still unable to load. I'm very new to all this, i shall scower the web for how to get it to work.
So I’m running the raspberry pi version of pico-8 on the RGB30. It runs fine, Splore works great. I downloaded the raspberry pi version of this game. Initially I just installed the png file in the cart folder. This then showed up on the main menu before running splore. When trying to round it directly I get an error “unable to open”. If I open the pico-8 and look for the file through splore it does not see it, I also tried adding all the rasp pi files for POOM into the carts file in a file called poom. But it just behaves exactly the same.
I’m sure I’m doing something wrong but can’t seem to find any help on this.
As the holder of the speedrun.com world record for this game for a year now... I think this game is really fun. This is such an amazing demake, to the point of me playing this more than actual doom once I bought it.

Hi, There are some graphical glitches where the doors open in The Defiled Realm and the next level.
Doom is everywhere haha, nice job!

thanks - note that art & design is the work of: https://paranoidcactus.itch.io/
SS: Really awesome! I've enjoyed a damn lot.
Show post...
Doom can run in everything even with a PICO-8 Program.
Super cool!!!
Good game 👍👍👍👍
in brazilian portuguese, "poom" sounds like "pum", and that's how we say fart in Brazil
Well, you do have a Rootin' Tootin' good time playing it!
nice

You must be on the hardest difficulty then, because I can tank more that 5 imp shots in a row and be fine, and seemingly dozens of Caco shots.
Then again, I am on the easiest difficulty...
this is the best game i've found on itch.io please keep making these sorts of games 10/10
This whole game makes me jumpy and nervous, such as the dark environments, the enemies, and for some reason the 3D graphics too. I am scared of rounding a corner in this game because who knows what will jump at me.8/10 Rubber Chickens. P.S, how do you acquire new weapons?
move on to the next levels - about 1 new weapon per level to find
I cant get past the first part? theres only 1 guy and after killing him nothing happens and thats it, i need help
After you kill the first-of-many shotgun-wielding mainiacs, there should be a door. press space.
This is an incredible demake/remake of the original doom
I know this engine you are so talented!
It's a great fun demake or remake... idk but it's a fun doom game. I just don't know why it is esdf instead of wasd
This game is a 8.5/10 for me. still impressive and fun but if you have it you should probably just play the OG doom
in France, WASD isn't a thing on their keyboard layout. Since the dev is french, it's ESDF (I assume).
Yes but France does not exist
PS: just a joke
Scary Fact #67; There is a france.
a classic!
It's funny)
Good game, Now I dont have to get a virus if I look up doom free 😁😁😁😁/silly
But seriously. LOVE THIS GAME!!! 5/5!!!
amazing,sound track helped me win lol
¿Para cuándo la versión en Android?
no native Android version - sorry.
F
Were is the 1.9 standalone version
good point - never published :/
will do that soon!
THIS IS SWEET i can see the love put into this
Everybody gangsta until someone makes SRB2 in Pico8 Doom.
Is there any way I can get this game to launch in retroarch?
see ‘standalone instructions’ on main page
multiple reports of game working ok
Damn, looks like I gotta pay for the engine then...
??
if you want Pico-8 on ur PC, not in browser, you need to pay for it
no - download the binaries for your platform.
I think you forgot to make your macos v1.9 executable before packaging.
Such a great game, i had a lot of fun playing it, the only thing i would report is that maybe the gbc filter is a little bit too much, my eyes felt a little unconfortable, but maybe it's because i was playing it fullscreen.
But that's a really good and fun demake
thanks - and it’s not a gbc ‘filter’, the underlying game engine is limited to 128x128 (and yeah, full screen is a bit too much).
WASD doesn’t work on non-Us/non-UK keyboards, the engine I am using favors portability for a modest shift of habits.
This is such a weak cornball response to a developer explaining the limitations of their development.
THIS IS AWESOME AND PLS HELP!First of all this game is awesome but I really need help because I really want to download it bc playing in browser is annoying.

Context: Any Time I click it or click open it just says that the Programm can't be opened, I never had this problem
install? there is no install, only a compressed archive that you need to store on your hard drive.
can you post an error screenshot or logs?
Thank you for your answer, I am a bit confused I am not tech-savvy and English is not my primary language, I'm sorry about that. I guess my problem is that I automatically dragged the file to programs and I'll try without doing that.

No okay, it is still not working, if I download it without putting it into programs the error message says that there is no program able to open the file :( Will still try tho
THIS IS SICK
i love pico 8 sooo much
hehe - thanks
I like this game. It's like a doom demake and I'm all for it. My only issue is that I can't find the yellow key on Eternal hall of pain (i think thats the name)
walk slowly :)
make the shotgun a sniper rifle that insta kills from halfway across the map like the original doom.
WHY CAN'T I INSTA KILL AN IMP HALWAY ACROSS THE MAP WITH THE SHOTGUN???
how do i get rid of the frog
Love it, thought ESDF controls are a weird choice. Any chance we could get the classic WASD implemented as a choice?
Otherwise, I love the game and will be playing more of it
I think ESDF actually might be the more classic control scheme from the early FPS era. I'm not sure which came first but they both seem to have been common around that time, especially after the release of Quake. According to this quote attributed to someone named Jon A., the rise in popularity of WASD was somewhat arbitrary:

thanks for that history bit!
(btw - I am french, WASD is not a thing - ESDF works natively on all/most keyboards)
any help in getting this to run on Powkiddy RGB30 running Jelos? I have placed the Rasppi PNG file in both cart and bbs/cart folders and it doesn not show up?
Any help welcome and thanks in advance.
have you tried the binaries instead?
I’d recommend that method
note: putting files in the bbs folder will do nothing. as per instructions, create a poom folder under ./carts and cd from pico8
Thanksfor the help. I can get it to recognise the file but still unable to load. I'm very new to all this, i shall scower the web for how to get it to work.
All running fine on PC and love it. Great Job!
post your steps here - I may be able to help
So I’m running the raspberry pi version of pico-8 on the RGB30. It runs fine, Splore works great. I downloaded the raspberry pi version of this game. Initially I just installed the png file in the cart folder. This then showed up on the main menu before running splore. When trying to round it directly I get an error “unable to open”. If I open the pico-8 and look for the file through splore it does not see it, I also tried adding all the rasp pi files for POOM into the carts file in a file called poom. But it just behaves exactly the same.
I’m sure I’m doing something wrong but can’t seem to find any help on this.
you are mixing up packages
- the raspi.zip file contains an executable, no need to use pico8. see ‘linux Version’ instructione
- the standalone zip package requires pico8 to run. See ‘Standalone Version’ instructions
As the holder of the speedrun.com world record for this game for a year now... I think this game is really fun. This is such an amazing demake, to the point of me playing this more than actual doom once I bought it.
Thanks for the amazing game :)
thanks!
any ‘official’ link to the poom speedrun page? could not find anything solid
Doom Hombrew Ports board has this port. The record is really old by now, and I'm working to improve it :)
poom [AKA] poor doom
