I'd say when you're already familiar with Pico-8 and if you like JS (or even TypeScript) you should check out Tic80. The free version is already quite feature rich but the pro version ($10) also allows external Code-Editor like VSCode which enables you to use the Tic80 TypeScript template and exporting to a standalone game.

Its still limited like Pico-8 but way less than that. With its "Fantasy-Console" nature you obviously have all tools in one environment.

I was just coming over to ask the same question - but I sadly think it is. It is a great tiny "engine" to work with and I played around with it a lot - but it doesn't seem to be updated anymore. The creator, cstoquer, hasn't posted in ages on Twitter/X or commited anything on github on at all for quite some time now...

Thats the result.

As it turns out he has a joystick plugged in from back then when he played some space game - seems like that caused the error. turning of the gamepad component helped

Hi there!

I tried to make a small game with a friend in Pixelbox but somehow pixelbox doesnt work at all on his machine? He only gets an error even without changing anything on a freshly created project.

He uses a fresh install and we re-installed pixelbox the first time this occured. we also tried to re-fetch the npm packages... nothing worked.
