Slushies 3 was a game I wrote in 2003 for the Casio color graphing calculator. I've reproduced it for posterity as accurately as possible after recovering the original source code and converting it to Lua. Since the original game relied on some "tribal knowledge" of inside jokes and rules that aren't told to you anywhere, I've added a commentary system to act as your guide through this hilariously imbalanced game, and you'll get a little bonus if you make it to the end of the game after accessing 100% of them.
I hope you enjoy it!

This is the first game I made for Pico-8 (or for any platform, for that matter...). I wasn't originally planning to try and fit a game in this small a size, I was just working on a platformer game test, but then I came across the concept of tweetcarts and things went in an unexpected direction. I planned to upload the release version a long time ago, but wanted to fit a couple more things in.

Virtual tarot cards. The cards are arranged in a 3D sphere that can be manipulated. Because of the way the sphere works, the cards are naturally arranged into 'spreads' for readings. Basic linear paths, crosses and multi dimensional timelines are all possible. There's some help text in the pause menu that I'll put it here, too.

This is a port of an old ZX Spectrum game called Sheer Panic (or Panic) which was a version of the old arcade game Space Panic.
This is just an initial attempt at it. I think I have got everything in there though.
The idea is to kill the monsters by digging pits in the floor and then knocking a monster down when it falls into the pit. More advanced monsters need to fall a larger distance to be killed.
Arrow keys to move around
X to dig
Z to fill
(Updated to remove death message and go back to menu)

Hi, I'm building a prototype of a roguelike inspired by mahjong solitaire on pico-8:
https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=37279
I'm not sure yet how much potential the concept has, but I want to push it as far as possible.
The gameplay is taking shape rapidly, but I still need help to make:
- shiny graphics
- immersive sound effects/music
- accessible UI
If this inspires you, I'd love hearing your ideas :)

DESCRIPTION
The classic 16-bit-era action puzzle game returns again -- enhanced and remastered. Pico de Pon brings favorite characters from across the PICO-8 library together for intense block-swapping battle.
INSTRUCTIONS
Player I:
Arrow keys, move cursor
X (or M or V) key, swap blocks
Z (or N or C) key, manually raise stack
Player II:
E/S/D/F keys, move cursor
A (or Shift) key, swap blocks
Q (or Tab) key, manually raise stack
Swap blocks beneath the cursor. Horizontal or vertical runs of three or more matching block types are cleared. Swapping a block over an edge will cause it to fall.
The stack rises over time. The game ends when blocks reach the top of the stack. The rising of the stack is delayed while matched blocks are clearing.

The last avatar of my unending quest for creating the perfect mix of innovative yet accessible roguelike...
A mahjong solitaire roguelike.
Use your weapons to clear the enemies, reach the exit and pick up a maximum of gold in the middle.
It's starting to take shape as the limits of the pico8 console get closer. Let me know what you think!
If you feel daring, you can skip reading the instructions below, and after playing let us know how (un)intuitive the game controls are :)
Instructions :
[hidden]The weapons on the right are your tiles.
The rest are the level tiles.
Pick one of your tiles, then use it on an enemy tile to clear it.
If your power is lower than the opponent, you will lose life.
If both tiles are the same color, opponent's special ability is negated.
Use all tiles in a weapon to fully recharge it.
You can also click your spell to recharge both weapons, but its costs increases each use.
Deal the exact amount of damage needed on an enemy gives you 1 energy.
