When you see the default kana font, you might think that you could create something a little better.
But then you realize that it was a kind of provocation for creators (or designers).
Why the tilt?
Hiragana can be quite difficult to express in 5x5px.
One answer to this problem is a slanted design.
This allowed us to secure a space, albeit a small one, per character.

Text conversion scripts for SpreadSheet custom scripts
This script converts "Kana/Kana" text to "Katamuki kana" specification in a spreadsheet.
Register it in a custom script and execute p8Katamukikana([Cell-ID]) on the cell you want to convert.
function p8Katamukikana(text) {
const kanamap = {

ZW-762 is a robot.
Some parts of it were missing though, you need to find them for abilities.
The game is about the story of ZW-762 to explore the world and find the value of itself.
And I Have Only Made a Simple Conversation!

I often use shell scripts to export and then upload my games to itch.io, and there's a small inconvenience that trips me up sometimes: If my game is too large, the export fails, but I have no way of detecting that from my shell script.
> pico8 game.p8 -export "-f froggypaint.html" EXPORT: -f froggypaint.html failed: code block too large > echo $? 0 |
I would expect the status code (echo $?) to be 1 or some other failure code
(Hm, now that I've written this up I suppose I could work around this by reading stderr stdout and checking for the string "failed"...)

Hello! I was wondering if anybody can help me figure out why my code wont delete an object. This is my first time using del so I'm sorry if it is really obvious.
trigger:
function update_slash_p1()
for s in all(slash_p1) do
s.dx+=1
if s.dx>8
then
kill_slash_p1()
end
end
code:
function kill_slash_p1()
del(slash_p1,
dx,
frame,
flip,
damage
)
end
I also tried:
del(slash_p1,{
dx,
frame,
flip,
damage
})
end
Thank you!

This is a ZX Spectrum inspired platform game where you are tasked with collecting all the coins in a level before proceeding to the next one.
The hardest part of developing this was emulating the ZX Spectrums 'colour clash' (which limits only 2 colours to an 8x8 cell) without tanking Pico 8's framerate.
It also comes with a retro-inspired manual (which can be found here: https://geeitsomelaldy.itch.io/dicey-dans-danger-dungeon )

Uh oh! Due to inflation, your restaurant is going under! Luckily, there are some less ethical ways to get food- the nuclear waste sewers! Fight monsters to save enough cash to save your restaurant!
Use arrow keys for movement, x to throw a knife, and z to jump.

A simple 1-bit procedural map generator with coastlines, rivers, mountains and forests.
Controls
⬆️⬇️⬅️➡️ - Move camera
❎🅾️ - Zoom in an out
TAB - Enter forge, create a new world
This started life as a tweet cart and creeped in scope a bit until it became what you see now.
There's a UI to play with the numbers, if you'd like to modify these values outside the boundaries I've set, check out the vals object array near the start of the file.
The world is created from a vornoi diagram, mountains are placed along cell boundaries and forest in cell centre points.

Feature Overview
MSPLIT() Converts a string into a table by splitting it with multiple delimiters.
- The default delimiter is " " for ease of data entry and readability(according to one's own preference).
- the default delimiters and numeric conversion flags should be modified according to your project.
- This function consumes 36 Token.
-- Split a pair of data and further split it into colors and names. local value=msplit( '10-yellow 11-green 8-red 12-blue' ,' ','-' ) for i,v in pairs(value) do local col,name=unpack(v) ?name,i*32-24,48,col end |
If you want to check the type at once, consider using a DMP().

Copy/paste is super cumbersome when using web exports on Mac. It appears that to reliably copy, I have to press ctrl-C and then cmd-C after text is written to the clipboard, and to get pastes to work I have to press cmd-V and then ctrl-V for PICO-8 to pick up the paste.
Is there a better way to do this? If not, can Mac exports be updated to only need cmd-C and cmd-V? I'd love to cut down the instructions on Tiny Drops...
It looks like this also may be affecting folks using the EDU edition: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=51921

Yet another celeste-classic like!
It's very difficult but I think some people can beat it :)
Also please let me know of any save data issues or game breaking bugs (I know of some minor ones that I left it).

slit animation
Probably just the start of some graphical experiments.
Improvements to the animation could still be made, but it's a start.
The code is also still messy and could use some cleanup.
This works like a slit animation.

Hello! This is a small game I made for a school physics project.
It is heavily inspired by WHAT THE GOLF? and WHAT THE BAT? by Triband.
It features a tutorial, 4 levels, 12 total gags/sublevels, and a boss fight.
I built it on top of zep's collision demo but modified it to account for mass and elasticity (still not very accurate though).

Celeste Midnight
Welcome to Celeste Midnight! In essence, this is a harder version of Celeste. I added a Deathless mode, a way to show hitboxes, a skip level function, and some TASing capabilities in a new code tab. Have fun! :)
