Thanks to the use of Zepto 8 emulator, an optional wide mode is included to go beyond Pico 8’s usual square screen, as well as visual filters to tweak your experience (scanlines, CRT, toon, minit...)

The Pico 8 cartridge and all source files are included too, you can pick them up if you want to play it in Pico 8 itself or see how the game was created

7 challenges modes exists in Zebulon, each game mode is associated with an achievement: 

• Normal mode : Explore the game and find powers and collectibles 
• Bonus mode : You will need to find every bonus before finishing the game 
• Explorer : no map for you, have fun wandering around and make your own path 
• Minit : you die every minute, you better go fast or you will never get anywhere 
• Half-Minit : you die every 30 seconds, only for the bravest of cats 
• 9 lives : you can only die 9 times, like every cat
