[ edit: see follow-up post for updated cart ]
For the newest #tweettweetjam I made a very basic space shooter (layout inspired by Gyruss/Tempest) in <560 characters. It even includes a bit of sound via poke-ing to the sfx memory, since the jam rules say "code only" without separate gfx/sfx assets.
Use ⬅️/➡️ to move, ❎ to fire.
(I may write up a commented / uncompressed version of the code at some point...)

This started as an experiment to learn PICO-8 music creation, and wound up being one of those projects you can't stop working on.
Happy birthday to Gawr Gura, you silly shark you.
Thanks to

Hi all,
This is a question I asked on discord, but I thought to get some feedback on here.
Stupid question maybe. I'm editing in vscode. I've put rulers at 32 chars to match the in built editor. How the heck do you all make your code fit inside a pico8 editor horizontally.
I don't mind going over every so often but 32 chars is very very little.
ico_zoom_in = create_icon(0x3844.92ba, 0x9244.3a01, 100, 40) |
comes to 62 chars.
even if I rename to be
zi = ci(0x3844.92ba, 0x9244.3a01, 100, 40) |
it comes to 44 chars but zi is a horrible name for zoom in icon. and ci is a horrible name for create icon.
maybe something like this.
local top = 0x3844.92ba
local btm = 0x9244.3a01
local x,y = 100, 40
zoom_in_ico=c_ico(top,btm,x,y) |
That fits but need to lift a lot of variables out and still c_ico isn't very clear name.
Do you all even consider this?
I find I just can't work with 32 chars.

About
Teleport between dimensions to satisfy the Guardian's thirst for shapes! Ascend through all 10 stages to attain transcendence!
How to Play
Tips
- The longer you spend in a room, the more perilous it is likely to become.
- If you find a room particularly difficult, use the nearest teleport shape to get out quickly, even if it doesn't take you directly to the next shape you need.
- Score high by activating the more dangerous node effects.

Made in one day based on the GMTK 2021 prompt.
I wasn't able to do the actual jam in time because of prior engagements but I wanted to make something. Enjoy!
I took some of the code from https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=3948 so its not wholly original. Thanks to ztiromoritz.

Nemonic Crypt
Nemonic Crypt is a self-made-bullet-hell-lite-roguelike.
Fight your way through 5 randomly generated floors in search of all 6 crystals.
Each Crystal can be used as a weapon against the monsters in each room, but beware: the strength and number of monsters will also grow as you adventure further into the crypt.
If you miss an enemy with a shot, the energy bullet will bounce around the level, giving it another opportunity to hit. However, the crystals energy bullets can also damage you!
Features:
- Randomly generated crypt layout
- Daily Crypt that is the same for all players and repeatable throughout the day

I recently needed a countdown timer for a game I wanted to port but wasn't able to find a tutorial online. The code wasn't exactly difficult, but it would have saved me some time, so I figured I would upload the template I made for myself so others could use it.
This will show the timer on screen in total seconds (set to the highest maximum number by default) and in digital clock format (00:00:00).
-- countdown timer
-- by ryanb_dev
-- hours:minutes:seconds
-- max 32767 seconds

function _init()
timer = {
text = "",
hours = 0,
minutes = 0,
seconds = 0,
active = true,
seconds_left = 32767,

Disco Dance-off is a rogue like inspired game where instead of fighting monsters you find dancers with the same outfit and dance with them, you can change outfit by dancing on a disco tile, and once you collect all colors you progress to the next floor. Each floor gets progressively harder, as you decent into madness, with stranger dancers and more colors.
This is the first game I made using Pico 8 so I hope you enjoy it :).

A short evercore based mod I made with a 2 hour time limit featuring 1x2 rectangular screens.
Edit: fixed the title screen bug.
