We had a wonderful mining experience with a minimalist design and a lot of fun. The sound of continuous mining is so pleasant that I could do it forever!
I had the materials to get the boat and "beat" the game for a while, but I was determined to get my base island to look exactly the way I wanted and spent far more time than I'm willing to admit achieving this!
I've got some suggestions for adding some things. Here are some of them:
Animals - it kinda feels like the old version of Minecraft where you didn't needed to eat, so Let's add some pigs, cows and more
Day/Night cycle - I've never seen night in this game, so that would be very cool and also you could add maybe zombies. Skeletons would be too overpowered, because the can show from a very long distance
More items:
Bed - to survive the night I said about
Better pickaxes? - Idk if are there any already, but I've never seen any other pickaxe than the starter one Soo...
Backpack - I think I don't need to say anything...
I love this game, but I don't have any money :|
*I was checking other comments, and I saw that there are more pickaxes and there's problem with ores, so make a cave maybe 🤔
**Another suggestion is... Creative mode! It would be great, but maybe for donators only? Nah, let's make it for everyone!
I think real cool thing would be randomized biomes. Right now every time you play the game, it's largely the same except for resource placement (island shape doesn't really matter). But if biomes were random, that would add some unpredictability and therefore replay value.
I found a potential softlock - if you use Land as a bridge to the next island instead of Bridge, it is possible for a tree to spawn in the one-tile wide strip of land. And if it happens when you don't have a pickaxe on yourself... you're screwed.
Yeah it's unlikely but it is, theoretically possible. I think biggest chance for this to happen is upgrading your pickaxe with full inventory - when you upgrade your pick it vanishes from your inventory. And if you have full inventory when upgrade is over, it would just fall on the ground.
How to load your world on phone? Its bad when i played 2 hours and get perfect base etc, but next time when i rejoined, i saw i cant load my world. Also world dont copies to clipboard on phone help
Just FYI... The islands are not determined by land vs water. Each block / cell has a location on the grid, and it's location determines what biome it gets. If you dig an island up, and then recreate it, it will still have the same biome as the original island that was there.
accidentally did something that froze it (not sure what it was tho ._.) aaaand i had to reload so i guess God didn't want me to rip apart some innocent islands.
this is gonna take so much fricking time but by the end of it i shall have obtained C O M E D Y :> also it'll get easier as time goes on since flowers spawn in all 3 biomes, and the more area there is, the more flowers can spawn!

Came back to the game to see if the previously reported bug(s) had been fixed (see my comments lower down about a year ago from this writing): The chest bug is detailed, and can be avoided by careful choosing of stacks and chests.
Sadly, there is no response from the developer, nor an update.
Cool game! But in my Miyoo Mini (using Fake-08) I can't load my saved games :( So everytime I want to play, I had to start from 0 The Load Game menu will only head to "Press Ctrl-V then press C/V" only which I can't do it on my Miyoo Mini. Any advise? Thanks
I had something similar happen. When I had two stacks of coal in my inventory, if I attempt to put the second stack in a chest, it instead moves an amount equal to the second stack from the first stack unless the first stack is smaller than the second stack, in which case it adds an amount equal to the second stack to the chest without removing anything from the inventory.
Is there a way to save the web version so that android devices can play offline? It runs fine online, but I can't do a long hold on the "Run Game" link to download it manually.
Any time you try to merge multiple stacks (via the Chest), if you select the second or later stack, the game will put/remove the items from the first stack it finds instead of the selected stack (using the count of the selected stack). Done right, it will put/remove the items without changing the stack count, allowing the player to infinitely duplicate any (stackable) items. (I figured this out when I ended up with so much inventory I could not even craft a new chest to hold all my items and had to restart my game--which leads me to the next bug....)
(2) Save/Load bug:
When saving/loading, it loses a lot of information about items placed on the map. In particular, anything to the left of the player on the same row is lost. Likewise, anything above the player is also lost. It is as if the game treats the players position as the start row/column, and loses anything prior. I am now in the habit of always moving to highest leftmost position before saving (I actually used bridges and dirt ground to ensure there is a spot that always comes before any other).
(3) Not really a bug, but a game play issue (and what led me to uncover the previous bugs):
Sitting idle for a long period of time generates so many resources that it becomes impossible to move or harvest/mine them all without inventory overload. I suggest two things: First, limit how many of each resource it will auto-generate. Second, add the ability to trash/destroy items not needed. I ended up expanding one island to a full screen size covered with chests filled will resources I had no use for.
I really advise you do not do it. Not because it is 'cheating', which I do not care if you do or do not -- but because it seriously breaks and bugs the game, making it unplayable. It really duplicates things... and duplicates them some.. and some more.. and some more.. until the end of time, causing your computer to run out of storage, memory, etc. Okay, that is a small exaggeration; You can always close the page / browser to stop it, but then you cannot play the game. So why do it?
Also, my post / comment (above) already said how to do it.
for some reason it is possible to infinitely dupe stone in a chest, may be possible with other items. this is done by trying to take it out: while there is stone added to my inventory, the original stone in the chest remains. destroying the chest fixes this issue.
on a perhaps related note, it seems that maximum sizes of stacks are jank
EDIT: it actually seems that this works if you have an item in your inventory AND in the chest.

this reminds me of the time when i used to play forager
Dude, i fell in love with your game, i'm really excited for what you're coming up with next!

I beat the game two times: Boat Ending & Blimp Ending.
I finished filling up the entire sea with Ground to it's numerical limit.
I made a house in the Top-Left Corner with all my utilities.
I have finished the game.
Sincerely,
MEPt
cool :) haven't finished it but had fun while playin

Why do you even put your pickaxe in your chest...
Pickaxe should always be in inv

Question
Pico .p8.png cartridge?
o jogo é interessante porem eu achei que compactaram muito o menu usar sô 2 botoes pra tanta mecânica no menu é meio confuso no começo
Way too long to use the menu. game looks great but I gave up just because it takes so long to go trough the menu
Waiting for the next update :D
I want to hop on a boat soon..
Suggestions to add caves with a lot of ores?
Good game.
how do I make a sail?
我玩了几天，游戏一堆BUG没修，我就拿碰见的来说，跑步开箱，原本开箱就该停步的。但是一直在跑，还有个更怪的，例如我有两袋木材，把第二袋木头放到箱里，结果呢，东西没放入反而还多了些木材，第三个BUG就是当你开箱的时候回主界面，箱子窗口还在，什么操作？！，最后个更离谱，贼不现实，玩家在不知情的情况下把64*64坐标的图块挖了，什么概念，等你下次乘船回点，存档废了，直接卡在加载中。。。【希望作者往游戏里加点内容，随手把BUG修了】
bruh i hate the pico crap the arrow key are so small,but the game is good u just HATE the arrow keys.
Get better keyboard or buy a game controller
ok first, i do have a controller so i shouldve connected that lol and second why did u comment in this? its from last year XD
Because that what you do in comments, commenting.
Also I like to reply to random thing or everything :)
are u talking by yourself weirdo
dammit my game froze. i only had a sock worth of area left.
ignore the "saved to clipboard!" saving doesn't work for some reason.
you have to hit ctrl + c after you save
Did you press Ctrl + C after you save?
down to 1 destroyable island left. i'm not destroying the spawn island, that's where my chests are.
Just FYI... The islands are not determined by land vs water. Each block / cell has a location on the grid, and it's location determines what biome it gets. If you dig an island up, and then recreate it, it will still have the same biome as the original island that was there.
i have officially filled a chest.
i've officially destroyed both the desert and... uh.... whatever the final biome is.
i was just ripping apart an island... and... i mined a block... and.... somehow warped to the next island???
so... i.... accidentally created infinite stone...? not sure how. uh.
I did this with coal. I think it happens when you try to drop or store a stack that isn't the first stack.
before i escape, i have decided to rip apart every single island except for the original one. and i shall leave everything in chests.
accidentally did something that froze it (not sure what it was tho ._.) aaaand i had to reload so i guess God didn't want me to rip apart some innocent islands.
actually i just had an even greater and funnier idea... WHAT IF I FILLED THE ENTIRE WORLD UP WITH GROUND BLOCKS
this is gonna take so much fricking time but by the end of it i shall have obtained C O M E D Y :> also it'll get easier as time goes on since flowers spawn in all 3 biomes, and the more area there is, the more flowers can spawn!
flower spawn rate is effing low dammit
yeah this is taking too long, i'm just gonna rip apart the islands.
como Fasso pra salvar no Android
também não sei desculpe se isso é impreciso, mas estou usando o google translate (before put in google translate: i dunno also sorry if this is inaccurate but i am using google translate)
how do i craft or change wepons i neeed the controls

Yeah, I had the same problem...
I had to put the coal somewhere, so I just dumped all the coal on an island and called it the coal island...
how did you manage to get the pico-8 game into an exe
Is there a way to save the web version so that android devices can play offline? It runs fine online, but I can't do a long hold on the "Run Game" link to download it manually.
Very good game :)
Wow! It's really an amazing game. I really like it.
Cool game here's a speedrun
Bug Reports:

I did it accidentally and its so annoying
