Show HN: Flynn's Arcade (Pico8 on Mobile)

2 pointsjharohit0 comments

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
