If you enjoyed PICOHOT, check out our new game FUMES - try the demo on Steam and wishlist now!


Hello!
We present to you PICOHOT, an 8-bit homage to the original SUPERHOT game created by three members of the SUPERHOT Team.

The whole idea had been conceived out of a marketing concept of fitting a whole game on a floppy disk. Then, someone had superb thought to use PICO-8 for that. Retro feel and ease of use that came with this tool took us right away while technological constraints made it an intriguing design challenge.

Thanks to the PICO-8 community and zep for creating such an amazing tool. You guys made working on PICOHOT a blast!

WHAT'S THERE:
- SUPERHOT’s “time moves only when you move” mechanic. 
- The Basic SUPERHOT three-color palette for clarity. 
- It’s 3D! 
- A few story levels and an endless mode.

I like this game and the how simple mannered this game was the 8 bit graphics really didn't disappoint either this is a really sleek game with beautiful mechanics and nice controls 8.5/10

(The Reason why the 8.5 it was just to hard to actually use the guns while I did praise the controls I was more or less talking about the hand or moving controls some of the levels can get a little frustrating but I up for the challenge 4 minutes later to beat the tricky level nor are there a wide variety or selection of guns other than the pistol or the shotgun)

its good. i wish there was more. like lore or backstory wise

Amazing!!!!!

How do i play on keyboard. I can't get past the opening screen

its zxc and arroe keys for the controls

un juego muy divertido la verdad, sigan creando juegos asi 

Fun game

hey how do i get it running on linux?

  1. Extract the archive & change directory
  2. Using a GUI or chmod, give the user executable permissions on the picohot file (e.g. chmod u+x picohot)
  3. Run the game (either with a custom .desktop file or typing ./picohot in the terminal)

If you’re having trouble launching the game and need to debug this, then I think you’re out of luck because I haven’t got any terminal output from it yet. Fwiw I’m on Fedora 40.

Changing user perms worked for me, thank you!

this is awesom

Remember SUPERHOT, the “time moves when you do” super creative FPS that turned also into a smash-hit in VR? Tarkovsky sure did, as they should, being three of the OG SUPERHOT developers, having turned the game into an 8-bit pixel-delight. It’s every bit as addicting as the original!

i like superhot: mind control delete

This is so sick!

only recomendation is that the SUPER  HOT animation is changed to PICO   HOT
