This is a really neat little game! I'm glad other people also upload their Pico-8 games to itch, as I am hoping to do the same at some point. I found you on BBS, and I am quite glad I did.
Thanks! This was a lot of fun to make. It was a good challenge for a 48-hour jam to get all four player viewports working the way I wanted, but I think it worked out well. :)
To be honest, I never tried using the web version. However, when playing with PICO-8, I just have them connected to my computer and it worked fine. I didn't have to do anything special. In terms of code, when detecting button presses, you can use a second parameter (0 through 4) to ask for that button press for a specific controller. For example, btn(0, 2) gets the left button (0) from player 3's controller.

How did you use four controllers?

Thanks! That helps a lot. I never knew that there were more players than two.
Yeah, PICO-8 actually supports up to 8 players that way! I've yet to make one that supports that many, though. :)
