  1. Hey thank you for the heads up! I just want to draw attention to the fact that this appears to be a “name your own price” product as opposed to a strict $2.99 as of right now.

    Also, this looks great. I noticed it had a PICO-8 hashtag. I wonder if it’s really a PICO-8 creation? I’m looking forward to giving this a try.
