A game I made for the Pico-1k jam. About 2-3 minutes of gameplay.
Z to shoot and arrow keys to move.

My Thought
I was thinking of making a "quite-long" and "story-based" game (like Papers, Please) and for that, I have only two options which I believe can make it, first, Godot - It's perfect but the only problem is its bundling with "both 2D & 3D" when we don't need both. Next there's PICO-8 - I believe it can make it just so it is better suited since my game shall have "arrows" and "1-2 interactive btn".
My Fear
I fear only one thing. That is, are the limitations workable for the game?
-
I know the Cart size limit, But then I can simply
#includeamain.luafile and a network of codes to work. -
The next big thing is SpriteSheet. Can I possibly have more than the "128x128"? I believe I can (by the unlimited
#includespace) make "text-sprites" (a 2D array with sprite data) and "workaround" and display it. -
Can I rely on
dget()anddset()to completely save user data? - Do the
dset()and all save data even on HTML builds? Since I'll be using Cordova to export easily into Android (As I've already done it on one of my other game:

You are Spiderbot, a sentient repair bot in a apocalyptic world after all the humans have died. Your goal is to escape, you try by going deeper and deeper into the labs, upgrading your equipment along the way. Vending machines are refreshed with new loot after every new level cleared. There's a mechanic which sells consistently useful yet expensive upgrades. Heat is a constant worry during combat. You can't just keep the fire button held down, or else you'll enter a fragile overheated state. Buy and equip mods and guns from random loot system. How deep can you go?
This game is an alternative style of vertical scroller+shmup, and with rogue like elements (level generation etc) implemented. There is a unique "heat" mechanic which means firing must be done with more care than most shmups. This game is still pretty far from done, but I think it's done enough to publish for some feedback, and determine what to focus on fitting into the code size limits of pico-8, as I definitely can't fit everything I'd like to in this.

i have 2 carts for this, only one is runnable the other has an error
so, i started with this code;
m={pl=4,ll=4,sl=1,px={30,30,50,50},py={30,50,30,50}}
s=1
function _update()
cls()
repeat
spr(1,m.px[s]-2,m.py[s]-2)
s+=1
until s==m.pl+1
print(s,1,122)
end |
it should make 4 sprites at each point with a -2 condition to make the sprite not offset.
but instead,
.png)
ok, the first thing i notice...
feild "?"
huh?
so, apparently this is pico-8ʻs way of saying "haha, you stupid, your code suck"(no offence, ZEP, im sorry if you find that, or anything else offensive) EVEN THOUGH IF YOU SEARCH THE CODE FOR THE "?", YOU GET 0 [redacted] RESULTS!
sorry, just needed to get that out of my system.
so, i started to change the code, eventualy i found out, that by uncorrecting the sprite, i can make it work, almost!

for some reason it wont draw the last line in the loop, its just not!
map1={wallslength=4,wallsx={30,30,50,50},wallsy={30,50,50,30}}
map2={}
map3={}
s=0
sf=1
function _update()
cls()
s=1
sf=2
repeat
if sf > map1.wallslength then
line(map1.wallsx[s],map1.wallsy[s],map1.wallsx[1],map1.wallsy[1])
else
line(map1.wallsx[s],map1.wallsy[s],map1.wallsx[s+1],map1.wallsy[s+1])
end
s+=1
sf+=1
until s==map1.wallslength
end |

you can use EDU to edit the image generated, its so simple, once you get what you like, just render the image in your pico-8 cart, i have listed a code i made for a cool image below the main cart.
x=3--changable variables y=-3200 fc=1 w=128--fixed/unchangable variables h=128 l=0 cls() function updatelayer() line(0,l,128,l,fc+7) --uses fc to fill the backround line(y+33,l,0,l,x-3) --outlines the grass line(y,l,0,l,x) --makes a grassland area x=x--you can change these updates, but the equations have to start with the variable being updated (x(equation)) y=y+32 fc=fc*1.01 l+=1--update the layer being drawn on, you cant change this equation end repeat updatelayer() until l==128 |

Welcome to Rolly Guy! You are a sphere and need to get your shoes from the store! Survive through all of the levels and get your new shoes!
Controls:
up: Jump
left/right: Move Left or Right
x: Jump (for mobile)
Stand on the yellow pad at the end of the level to advance to the next one
Watch out for spikes! You have 3 lives!
It's pretty easy? Right?

I WANT TO THANK ALL THE CELESTE CLASSIC DISCORD AND COMMUNITY FOR GIVING ME FEEDBACK THROUGH THIS JOURNEY AND MAKING IT THE GAME IT IS TODAY
This is a very early version of Daneste. Features scrapped levels almost completely different designs, with some levels redesigned and repurposed into the final version. This demo was made before I had the official program of Pico-8. Using Pico-8 Education Edition to test my maps and the Jpegsarebad website to make the maps, this was me testing the waters.

My first P8-game!
Big thanks for LazyDevs for making those shmup tutorials! I was just too lazy to make those wave things so I decided to make this infinite.
