PICOhaven is a tactical card-based dungeon crawler / light solo RPG for PICO-8, inspired by the board game Gloomhaven. It adopts a modified & simplified version of the mechanics used in that game, to fit within constraints of the PICO-8 environment (code size, resolution, etc), and to streamline solo play.
The story includes 16 playable scenarios (some are optional side quests), 8 levels of ability upgrade choices, and multiple items that also affect gameplay.
Note: This is just a free, solo-fan-made project and has no affiliation with Gloomhaven. If you like this type of game I recommend checking out Gloomhaven (and its official video game adaptation) for a game with a lot of tactical depth from multi-character cooperative play!

This is an example for an easy to use particle system.
to use it in your own cartridge do the following: copy the code in tab1 into one of your code tabs
Use it in the project as follows:
function _init()
init_particles()
end
function _update()
update_particles()
if btnp(🅾️) then
particle_burst(
{x=63, y=63}, //pos on screen
10, //num of particels
2, //life time (in sec)
0, //form 0=rnd 1=pixel,2=circles,3=rect
2, //size
3, //color
2 //speed of particles
)
end
end
function _draw()
cls()
draw_particles()
print("press 🅾️ for burst", 32, 40, 7)

This is a cooperative game where both players must work together to solve each puzzle.
Created as a fun project between Chris Delay (dad) and his two kids Leon & Elliot, aged 9 and 6 at the time. All graphics, sounds, music and level design by Leon & Elliot, with coding and puzzle design support from Chris.
Enjoy!

I am trying to use values in a table to dictate which scene is being shown in the game. I defined the table 'S' at the top of the code but a piece at the bottom referring to it comes back nil. What's the problem?
function _init()
cls()
music(0)
s={}
s.menu=1
s.start=0
s.t1=0
s.one=0
map_setup()
make_player()
end |
if s.menu>0 then screen_menu() end if s.start>0 then screen_start() end if s.t1>0 then screen_t1() end if s.one>0 then screen_scene1() end |

About my game:
The theme of this game is escape from a mysterious laboratory.
You control a red stickman who must avoid the needle traps and head for the goal point, the flag.
If you step on the arrow tiles on the floor, you will be forced to move in that direction, so you have to be careful.
How to play:
Cursor key...Move
X key...Retry game(Only when the game is over.)
Thank you for playing.

PICO-8 + Nature of Code + ECS = piconoc.
Emergent ecosystem behaviors for agents in Pico-8. Based on Daniel Schiffman's "Nature of Code". Uses Entity Component Systems.
***UPDATE: 100% more player control of frog with arrow keys. Frog also eats nearby flies.
Hi! I want to simulate flies and frogs and lizards and spaceships and such in PICO-8. And I want to do so in ways that give surprising results. PLUS I want to refine my understanding of Entity Component Systems (ECS). This cart holds my efforts to do all those things.
Critters should be recognizable by their behaviors, not the graphics and/or sounds.
This is a very early learning project in process.

Inspired by fond memories of Liero I present Ground Wars, my first Pico-8 release!
Battle a friend in randomly generated caverns on a fully destructible map in this top-down shooter. Choose your loadout from an arsenal of 7 unique deadly weapons at the start, and pickup supply creates to suit up during a match. Be careful though: contents are volatile!
Controls:
Movement - Arrow keys
Fire - X
Dig - O
Change weapon - Hold O, Press X to cycle
Pickup crate - Hold O when nearby
Thanks to WarrenMarshall for writing the excellent vector math library I used in this project!
