Gamepad, or Arrow Keys + Z/X


Are you ready to get sliced in half? The year is 2089 and Vlambeer's SUPER CRATE BOX is coming to bring back the glory of the golden arcade age, when all that really mattered was getting on that high score list and a giant disc has appeared in orbit of Jupiter. Step into the oversized space suit of a brave scientist and grab your baseball cap and loosen your pants, it's time to explore this sprawling intergalactic slaughterhouse and fight endless hordes of enemies and collect every weapon crate you can.

Prepare for an arcade delight with tight controls, refreshing game mechanics, cracking retro art and a terribly hip chiptune soundtrack.

And remember: what kills you only makes you stronger.

If you stay on lazer rifle you don't get any points though. You only get points for changing weapons.

is there some sort of full version of this, because I keep seeing this game on youtube, but there's more levels.

Hi! You're probably seeing either Disc Room (lots of sawblades) or Super Crate Box (platforming, no jetpack). They're both games by JW, a fantastic game designer.

This game (Super Disc Box) is just a little thing I made for the Disc Room game jam. I thought it'd be fun to smoosh the two games together.

ah. I see

cool!

minigun= free points ( if they exist . _.) but it can´t be a gamemode what u in place of trying of get a lot of boxes u need to kill the discs like priority?

(1 edit)

yes! I would like that also!

we think the same dude :D

Nevermind  what i said about mines look what flamethrower does!

Looks good to me :P

Sure,but it doesn't just look good,it's very over powered they just can't get close to you!(I started feeling sorry for them until one spawned right inside of me).

(+1)

That's okay though - you don't get points for killing them, only for collecting crates. So it's a nice opportunity to clear out the level but it won't win you the game.

Game is really fun and addicting,if ask me what is my favourite weapon i'll say mines,cause they're just broken.

Nice, arcade like arcade !

I got the disc gun and was like: yay I can fight back now



I died after spamming

Weird thing I noticed: The downloads seem to be of an older version than the web game, at least for Linux, no custom gun sprites/music/menus/animations etc

I got 12 Max after like 25 tries and there's still stuff I haven't figured out or used lol this is awesome

Really great game! I like how you have to balance the act of moving and aiming at the same time. Maybe you want to shoot left but move right to avoid the enemies? Well  you have to properly navigate and choose what input you want to do. It makes for great fun, good job!

YES FANGAME!

Wow this is very epic gaming I hope that everyone download your games. How can I download the HTML5 Zip File Sodat I can play with it. Thanks for helping 

It's on the pico-8 BBS, so you could grab the original pico8 source that way in order to mess with it. Diving straight into the js transpiler output would not be much fun.

Yes and I want to embed it on my website because I'm want to make a video to tell people sodat they can download your game that is why I need the HTML file. Please help me.

WOW epic game

This is amazing, also I am sad I got the saw gun :(

Highscores belong here (no need to thank me):

This game is amazing!

Epic!

damn, very cool!

i really like the saw weapon thing, very good way to punish players who are rushing to get a high score, also that laser rifile can be used as a melee weapon

and the game would sell pretty well on mobile devices

I love the concept, physics, look, everything!

Havent played a good arcade style game for a while

Very noice....

high score of 209 >: )

W H A T

NOW ITS 431 MUHAHAHAHA

Oh my! I don't suppose you're recording these?

I'm not one for arcade games, but this one has made me want to play all the time.

I have been addicted to your game for the past few days, I lost my job, my house and I am currently $5000 in debt. Your game ruined my life, dumbass.

(+1)

highscore of 10! its a fun game

Jogo fantástico

This is fantastic, and I can't believe it was made in such a short period of time! I love it!

Thanks! It certainly helped that Super Crate Box (from which I borrowed a lot) already existed :)

This game is so addictive, I love it. I like the polish, and the disc gun weapon was really clever

Cheers! I wasn't sure if that would annoy people or not :)

It does. Oh, it does.

Excellent :P

can i play this with a controller? if i can, what kind.

You can!

I'm not sure which controllers pico8 supports out of the box, but I've been using an Xbox One gamepad and I imagine a 360 gamepad would almost certainly work too. Other common controllers are probably supported but I can't say for sure.

can u play this with ps4 controller because thats all i have if not i will just play with mouse and keyboard.

No idea sorry - I don't have one to test with. Maybe!

ok i can try then.
