I'm working on a raycaster, and I'm stuck on trying to make billboard sprites; I think that it would be a waste to not at least show off what I had, so here's a little demoey thing.
Can you find all 4 hidden orbs?

Hint 2:
Hint 3:

You've been recruited by the Space Miners to make some Space Money, and your new boss told you to not come back home if you don't have at least 100.000 points!

My first Pico 8 game made with help from @MBoffin Tutorial series on YouTube.
Message for @MBoffin The series was great and i also hope you don't mind as I used some of your sprites from the example games you showed off at the end, as I thought they looked great :)
Controls:
Arrow keys to move

this is my first working game i've made in pico-8! it's a port of the voltorb minigame form pokemon gsc
think of it like picross x minesweeper
amazing features such as:
- grating, single-channel music
- rudimentary graphics
- horribly optimized code
- what even is spriting?
- i have never touched lua before a week ago

Finally got my RPI working and somehow it looks okay on my CRT TV. I decided to get the Game Development with Pico-8 by Dylan Bennet printed like a magazine so I can mimic the way programmers and hobbyists were able to program like they were doing BASIC code from a Magazine. It turned out pretty good. Can't wait to work on my 2nd game in a retro style kind of way haha
All I need now is to find someone who can help me install a RPI into a commodore 64 keyboard.. or a keyboard in general

Yes, this is yet another version of Space Invaders, but with this one I'm going for a direct port of the original arcade game. It's mostly complete, with functional gameplay and a working high score save system, but it needs some gameplay tweaks and a few graphical elements, and the sound effects are very much unfinished (I'm working on a version of the 4-tone march using subtones, but haven't ironed out the glitches yet). Anyway, in addition to going for authenticity, I also tried to code this very efficiently, and the whole game (including all graphics and sound), takes under 3KB and only about 1100 tokens.
Any constructive criticism and general feedback is welcome, thanks.
Controls:
L/R------Move cannon
X--------Fire

could someone help me figure out what did wrong?
the error happens in this line:
if self.xspeed>self.topspeed then
self.xspeed-=self.xaccel
end
thanks in advance :D

Hi,
I am new to PICO-8 and still figuring things out...
I know how to set a transparency color for my sprites but it only works when using graphic functions at runtime to display them, not when I place them directly on the map inside the map editor. Am I missing something ?
Thanks,
m.

I thought it might be interesting to add a portal mechanic to the classic box-based puzzler Sokoban.
It turns out the mechanic is fun, but designing interesting puzzles that are challenging but not annoying is an art in itself. Great respect to people who make real puzzle games! This WIP build has 8 levels, but you can discount the first 2 as they are just there to demonstrate the two main mechanics of the game.
Not sure how far I'm going to get on this, I was mostly using it as a way to learn Pico-8, but I at least want to make it look better, add some sound/music, a proper title screen and if I get enough inspiration, some proper puzzles.
Thanks to merwok on Discord, who came up with the snappy portmanteau :)

This has been lying on my hard-drive for a couple weeks now and I haven't continued it, so I thought I'd plunge in and put it out there. Still planning to put more effort into it, but it was mainly started as a first foray into pico-8 development (and games in general, really) to learn how it all works. Unsurprisingly the code is a mess.

Here's my first game on Pico-8 :D
While I am no stranger to gamedev, this is the first time I work on Pico-8. This is also an emotional moment for me, because I finally get to complete a project I started 6 years ago. This is also the very first time, as unbelievable as it is, I have genuinely enjoyed playing my game and thinking as an audience :D
Instructions are all in the game, I'd like to see how I have improved my tutorial skill. Let me know if you have any problem.
(Remember, press P/Enter (default Pico-8 keybind) to access the pause menu.)
If you are keen for poke around and/or learning, I thoroughly wrote this game to be readable and the codebase is moderately commented and

Here is my first pico8 cart. Be gentle.
This is an implementation of Conway's Game of Life cellular automata.
There are some performance issues. I understand that manipulating individual pixels with pset isn't fast. Any tips regarding this problem are welcome.
Controls
Z: run/pause
X: add noise (if paused)
Up/Down: increase/decrease generation delay
M1: create alive cells (if paused)
M2: kill alive cells (if paused)
