Story of the Mirror
This is a short horror game that I developed for DarkTober Game Jam 2018 using the Pico-8 fantasy console. This game is not suited for children or those who are easily disturbed.
Controls:
-
Directional keys: move around
- Z: read stone tablets, talk to npc's
Objective:
The objective of this game is to find the old mirror, locate the dark path and get the orbs of light. This will require navigating 3 different worlds of increasing tension and horror.
Tips:
- Enemies will spawn in the dark world. The more orbs of light you collect, the more enemies will try to drag you to a shadowy grave, trapping you within the darkness of the mirror forever.

The BBS fails silently when I attempt to attach an image whose filename contains spaces. The upload appears to be successful, but it doesn't appear in the list of available images.
I remember this bug from the previous version of the BBS, so it's not new.

It appears that I have to sign in to the BBS on a daily basis. This does not appear to be intentional, and it's certainly annoying. I believe in the previous version of the BBS we had a one month sign-in expiration.
My cookies seem to be in reasonable shape for expiration dates:
www.lexaloffle.com:
PHPSESSID: when browsing session ends
pass: one month
user: one month
lexaloffle.com without the www also sets a cookie, __cfduid, but this doesn't seem related. I have tried clearing and recreating all of these cookies, with no change of behavior.

When playing a game in the web player, if I hold the z key ("o" button), I get the macOS diacritic editor. This interrupts play. I don't recall seeing this prior to the BBS/player update.

Ludum Dare 43 Game Jam submission!
A short RTS-style game made in PICO-8, where your goal is to make robots to defeat a big alien monster.
The catch? You have to kill small, cute robots to do it!
Tips: -You need to make a total of 6 Big Robots to win. -Sometimes, robots will stop moving while gathering resources. If this happens, you’ll have to kill them. (I’d like to pretend this is a feature but it’s just a glitch i didnt have time to fix, oops)
HOW TO PLAY:
Open the menu and navigate to robots to select them. After selecting them, hit “send” to send them to go gather resources. Eventually they will return but unable to work any more.

The 2018 P8 Awards are over!
The winners are announced in the cart and listed below.
Controls:
- Left/Right to change award
- (O) to reveal winners (hold to slowly cycle through carts)
- Up/Down to change selected cart
- (X) to load selected cart
- Hide All in the pause menu to reset the winner reveals
These are an (unofficial) set of awards, similar to the Steam Awards, designed to celebrate PICO-8 carts.
The community nominated carts over the course of December, and voted on them over the course of January.
[b]CLARIFICATION: For this set of awards, any existing cart could be nominated, no matter how old. As no PICO-8 awards events have been done before, it didn't seem fair to exclude any carts on the basis of age.

The gods are angry. The mountain has awoken. You are a human sacrifice, and your mission is to travel to the mountain and throw yourself into its volcanic crater. Success will mean your death, but if you fail, your tribe is surely doomed...
Created in 48 hours for Ludum Dare 43. Original Compo version is at the bottom of the page.
UPDATE [03/01/2019]: Implemented all the post-jam fixes and improvements from the Newgrounds version. I've been alerted to another bug that needs fixing but that'll have to wait for now.

The BBS' player seems a little unstable since the update, some carts are hanging in both Firefox (63.0.3 / 64bit) & Chrome (70.0.3538.110, 64 bit) for me at least.
Here's a couple of examples:
https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=32380 - posted after the update (and electricgryphon also is having the same issue)
https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=16351 - old cart that used to run ok
These both work fine in the PC application.
I'm not sure it's directly related to high CPU use - for example, if I move the camera inside the models in this cart to force > 100% cpu, I don't get hangs: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=46687

It’s your big break as an energy mule, but be careful, the world’s ending.
Instructions
Use the arrow keys to move. Break open energy crates to attach their contents to your ship, and transport the energy balls to the green markers. The further you transport an energy ball the more you'll be paid.

You’re the Spirit of the stones and have to collect (and sacrifice) them.
Will you find the path ?
Could you resolve the gods challenge?
Is 1min16 is enough for you to succeed ?
This my compo for LD-43 : 'Sacrifices must be made'

So I've been developing in PICO-8 for a little bit now, but I've just now been trying to download it on my Windows 10 PC. I'm having a problem though. I keep running the installer and everything looks fine, but then when I run the program it deletes the executable file.
Any ideas?
