Bonnie Games

Hi there! My name is Manny. I'm a Data Scientist, guitarist, and passionate game developer from Sicily, now based in London.

For the past 2.5 years, I've been working on and off on a PICO-8 game called Cortex Override as a passion project. I tried to mix elements of Zelda and Armored Core in just the 32kb allowed of a single PICO-8 cartridge - An interesting technical challenge that pushed me to the limits of the platform and taught me a lot about game development. It's been an exciting journey into game development, and I'm thrilled to share it with you.

About Cortex Override: In this cyberpunk-inspired world, you control the last uncorrupted nano-drone in a digital realm overrun by a virus-like AI called Barracuda. Your mission? Initiate a system purge and escape the infected grid:

•  Fast-paced, top-down combat 
•  Multiple abilities to master against different enemies 
•  Four challenging missions with multiple objectives 
•  Pixel art graphics with dynamic lighting

I'm excited to hear your feedback and hope you enjoy playing Cortex Override as much as I've enjoyed creating it!

Feel free to check out the game full source code or follow me on Instagram for development updates:
