This PICO-8 demake of R-Type is amazing. It successfully captures the classic arcade gameplay, iconic Force mechanic, and intense difficulty in a tiny retro package. A must-play for shmup fans!
I wanted to play it on the go, so I tried it with the app I developed, "Gamepad Browser."

Thanks to the virtual gamepad and full-screen mode, the controls on mobile devices are incredibly smooth.
You should definitely try this player!
I would love to test a build of your R-Type project for Sega Genesis. Is there a possibility of getting it from you and testing it?
demo is out now: https://theroboz.itch.io/mega-r-type
Is there a .p8 release of this as well?
You can get it from pico-8 's forum here: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=98070#p
Good work on the port.
x and o for the fire and detach/recall keys? wat? they are on complete opposite sides of the keyboard.
no, those are pico-8 key symbols (criss and circle) keyboard keys are z and x. Thanks for the heads up, i added it to the description
ah okay, that's my bad then. would have been a hilariously abstract control scheme if true though.
