Pico Mace
Pico Mace is a PICO-8 demake of my beloved game PARTICLE MACE that fits in just 1015 bytes!
Created for the #Pico1k Jam 2023.
If you like tiny PICO-8 programs, maybe you'd enjoy my 280 character #tweetcarts.
How To Play
Just arrows while playing!
Swing your trash particles into everything!
Smashing red enemies will give you a bunch of points. Hit them in rapid succession to increase your combo.
Smashing yellow asteroids will give you a few points. Not a ton but hey it's something.
Don't die! But that's impossible.
Source Code
The whole dang thing is under a kilobyte compressed. This is my first time using a compression tool (Shrinko8), which kind of feels like cheating, but it definitely let me squeeze a lot more into the game.

I just bought the original Particle Mace the other day after having bought and adored it the day it released on iOS. Seems like YEARS ago. Then I stumble on this. I'm stoked to give it some playtime, and I'm REALLY glad you made this :D
Thank you so much. It WAS years ago! The arcade machine just celebrated its 10th birthday.
Hope you enjoy this little demake.
This rips!
good game (:
