I tend to use 60fps in pico-8 by default, as it helps smooth out the chunky low-res motion and stuttering. I realized the original game was 30fps and tried to switch to that, but even with tweaking values, everything felt sluggish, so I just stuck with 60.
There's actually no separate source code, as I code all my tiny projects in compressed form by hand. I guess that's terrible practice, but I'm not a software dev, and it lets me better monitor and control the size.
I'd be happy to answer any questions or explain things if the code's too cryptic, though.
Oh, okay, I thought you meant commented, long-form code. Here's a link to the code from the cart. I'm especially proud of the combined map decompression/autotiling system in about 100 chars at the beginning. ;)

This is amazing! Good work.
Is the source available?
Thanks,

Oh wait is there a way to display the source code from the web build of a pico-8 game? That's all I was looking to see!
Hand-compressing is the way to go imho!

Thank you so much. This is wild. Most of it is way above my head, but very cool to dig through.
