Drop Coin is an endless game inspired by coin drop games such as Plinko and Nintendo Land's "Coin Game".
Try to see how many stages you can complete with your starting coin count, and earn bonus coins by completing a stage in 10 coins or less. Each difficulty has it's own starting coin count.
CONTROLS
Click, Tap, Z, or X - Drop Coin

A 'flappy bird', or 'helicopter game' clone created in the Pico-8 fantasy game console during an evening learning how to develop Pico-8 games.
Controls (PC):
Z: Menu accept
X: Menu back or Restart (on death)
Up Arrow: Jump (in game) OR menu navigation up
Down Arrow: Menu navigation down
I got much of the base code from this zine https://mboffin.itch.io/gamedev-with-pico-8-issue1 created by @MBoffin, and I built various extra features on his code! So big credits to him for creating a great zine to get me started creating my first game in pico-8.
Additional features I added to his code:
- Main menu system

Hi all,
this is my very first game. It is a one dimensional city building game. Any kind of feedback is welcomed.
Hope you enjoy it!
CONTROL
Button UP / DOWN: choose action
Button RIGHT / LEFT: move around
Button O (mobile) / Z or C (desktop): execute action at current position
GROW OF BUILDINGS (level 1 - 6)
- for level 2: fire station and enough energy from wind mills (anywhere)
- for level 3: school and recycling point
- for level 4: subway station and train station (anywhere)
- for level 5: 2x parks / lake / mountains (w/o wind mills) and stadium (anywhere)
-
for level 6: attraction (anywhere)
- infrastructure which is not marked with "anywhere", needs to be in the range of 5 blocks
- in case the required infrastructure is available, the mood is good (green bar below the building) and the building can grow
- in case the required infrastructure is not available (e.g. missing energy), the mood is bad (red bar below the building) and no taxes are being paid
EARN MEDALS (level 7)
- to earn medals for leisure, your city needs parks and attractions
- to earn medals for infrastructure, your city needs more fire stations, schools and subway stations
- to earn medals for size, your city needs more and higher buildings

Update 03/08
Fix: Another bugfix, hopefully for the last. Dambi wasn't showing running and sliding animation and just sliding in the idle animation since 02/27 update, this is now fixed.

A short celeste map mod. It's built as a bit of a puzzle, meant to teach you one specific thing about the game's mechanics.
This doesn't require any advanced speedrunning tech (spike clips, corner jumps, etc) -- executing the intended solutions should be possible for anyone who's beaten celeste classic once or twice.
If you're trying something that seems too hard or only barely possible, try looking for alternatives!
controls
- arrow keys / Z / X: move / jump / dash
- E: toggle screenshake

demo cart
This demo shows off the interface. To use bigmap in your game, see "setup" below.
motivation
The recent 0.2.4 release added support for larger maps:
> Similar to gfx memory mapping, the map can now be placed at address 0x8000 and above (in increments of 0x100). This gives 4 times as much runtime space as the default map, and an additional POKE is provided to allow customisable map sizes.
Larger maps are now possible, but it's difficult to get them into memory -- the built-in map editor only works with vanilla-sized maps.
This cart is a full map editor that makes it easy to make these larger maps!

Hello :)
(Forever) Beginner level programmer here!
I have been trying to make a top down driving game, and rather than reinvent the wheel I figured I could take some existing carts and use the code to make a player that uses a sprite that can rotate, and move forward and backward.
I found this post for the sprite rotation, which works exactly as I would like, although I can't really grasp how the function is working: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=52525 (example1)
Then I found a cart of Asteroids by @mccolgst: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=29903, stripped out all the stuff I didn't need (example2), and have been going between these 2 carts to try and combine the sprite rotation function with the desired movement.
Unfortunately I hit a wall and my latest effort was example3, but I'm quite lost honestly.
Can anyone shed some light on how these carts work and how I could go about applying a forward movement to a rotated sprite?
Many thanks in advance!

Good morning <INTERN NAME>.
You've made a terrible mistake.
There's no turning back now.

First PICO-8 game, made a while ago but never shared.
Messy little retro space game, featuring:
Functional gameplay
Thrilling boost mechanic
Various different enemies
3 Intricate Levels + 2 Boss stages
Gripping and entirely necessary story

Use X, C, or the arrow keys to view different screens showcasing the tileset.
I made a slightly improved version of the Celeste tileset. Now there are inner corner thingies and other random stuff. Of course this would be pretty hard to use in a Celeste mod because of the extra sprite space it takes up but I mainly made it as a concept to see what the Celeste tileset could look like with more features.
This isn't meant to be used in mods, it's just a random concept thing. If you use saved mapdata or whatever, and have extra sprite space, then I suppose it would be usable.
All credit goes to Maddy Thorson and Noel Berry for the orignal tileset.

I've seen many demos and cool art made with pico8 on Twitter, so I tried to do something. This is my first tweetcart. There's probably many ways to optimize it more, but at least it works.
Press left and right arrows to widen or narrow the road, and up or down arrows to move the horizon.
Some values can also be changed in line 3:
b: default horizon positions: offset between the sun center and the horizonp: default road positionn: amount of horizontal linesi+=2: speed of horizontal lines

TO LOAD THIS CART in immediate mode, type
load #playback_a
VVhat's new ?
(01-17-22)
✅ New BTN() can now be called with no arguments, returns numeric of all buttons, thanks to @SmellyFishstiks.
✅ Beefed up the documentation and usage instructions.
This program will let you record and playback keystrokes, including saving your code with those compressed keystrokes in very small code indeed.
First off, the record and playback routine is 436-characters total, so this entire method is pretty small at that. Add about 46-characters for each of the functions record() and play() and you're home free !

Could you make a fighting game in PICO-8?
I don't care about the type of fighting game, I'm just saying, could you do it?

Hello ! I would like to know if a tas of a PICO-8 game would be doable or not. I had a lot of fun playing some games and I wondered if getting the full version would allow me to do such things. Thank you !
