Flappy Turkey
20 Game Challenge entry #1
Flappy Bird clone
Controls
Press X to start the game. Press Z to flap and avoid the flames. The longer you go, the game will increase in difficulty. The gap between flames will shrink (both horizontally and vertically), their speed will increase, and the flames will get wider. See how long you can last!

This is my first pico-8 game!
Wanted to finally try making a game after 1 year of owning this thing, so I decided to make a flappy bird clone to test all its features.
Enjoy!

I’m trying to make my own console using pico-8, but I’m have an unfathomably hard time trying to get it to work. I’ve tried using the official Pi os, and that didn’t work (and I used both 32 and 64 bit) and I’ve tried on Xubuntu using the Linux 32 and 64 bit downloads. And still it doesn’t work. I’ve scoured the internet and haven’t been able to find anything to help. Literally any help will be appreciated.

FARM BOT
Hey. This is a toy and not a fully fledged game. I was working through @SpaceCat tutorial on YouTube and developed a touch further than where he left off. I learnt a lot from his video as well as, I have to give a shout out to @Lazydev and @DocRob. They all have amazing informative channels on YouTube as well.
EDIT: Also I forgot to thank NerdyTeacher as well. I yoinked the LERP function from the PICO VIEW web zine. Would really be awesome if there was a PDF/printable version of PICO VIEW. Being out at sea with bad internet makes looking up reference hard.
Like I said, this is a toy. I am still learning a lot and have only completed one Fantasy Console game (CHIPPY - LowresNX). But I have to admit that this is far too addictive playing with Pico8.
I dabbled with adding caterpillars as "enemies" but haven't taken it further than spawning them.
V1 - I have added some sounds to play around with the feel. I have also looked at adding character portraits.
- LEFT/RIGHT/UP/DOWN (Movement)
- Z/O (Selection in the hotbar/Action in menus
- X (Action button in game/Open+Close menus

Grade: 100 !!!!!
made in 2 days (after school hours) for a school project.
if you're going to read the code, I'm terribly sorry...
everything in this game is rushed, and not the standard I hold myself by. Frankly, I'm pretty embarrassed by this. I wish I could've made this better, I wish I had more time, but at the end of the day at least I'm done.
what I learned from this:
the presidential roles
how 2 pixel art
What I wish I improved:
every single minigame. each one was made in one or two hours and half of the logic happens in the draw function.
Honestly, though, this was a fun challenge to do, minus all of the stress of course.
Thank you to my history teacher for letting me do this

Hello! Here's a little game I've made for a game jam under the theme "emotions".
It's about hitting the ball as hard as you can to release your pent-up rage and prevent your head from exploding.
o to jump/double-jump
x to charge/release a smash
There's a 2p mode too!
It was made in 48h so it's a bit janky and there's no music. Feedback is very welcome! If I have time in the future I'd love to refine it a bit.
Also, let me know what your best score is! The current dev record is about ~70, but I'm sure 100 is more than achievable.

The Rose Garden
Once upon a time, I was in a rose garden. With this game, I try to go back a little bit.
It's my first game (without tutorial) en I still have a lot to learn so please let me know so I can improve.
For now, there is a "game" with no real game only with a certain atmospheree with my "pixel art" experimentation.
For next step, I'm gonna make a game... maybe a "harvest game".
If you have any suggestions do not hesitate :)

My Pico-8 interpretation of the 1983 Namco arcade game and the various console versions.

Cats cannot harm you when you are on a trampoline or jumping on or off of one.
Extra life at 20,000 and 70,000 points.

Thanks To
- Finn for testing
- @obvex for creating a logo that looks infinitely better than my original effort!
- @IndieGamerChick for her inspiring review of the NES version: https://indiegamerchick.com/tag/nes/#:~:text=It%20checks%20off%20all%20the,such%20a%20degree%20of%20risk.

Arrow Keys : move
X : confirm // delete block // chording
C : set / delete flag
-
v7:
- high score is now working (hopefully)
- new animation when deleting the blocks
- "best time" indicator for the game-over screen
- Numbers in "dark mode" are now the same colors as "light mode"
I've changed some colors in the game to make the animations pops a lil more
You have now to press a button (x or o) in order to exit the game over screen
Big thanks to RealShadowCaster for the help and all the brilliant ideas!

Enjoy !

A Pico-8 remake of Sirvo's classic puzzle game, Threes

By Disco Rectangle
Based on Three's by Servo

Background
For this project, I wanted to jump into a single screen game with a more complex game loop than I'd previously worked on. While the game is functional save for one known, game breaking bug (see below) and the art style is largely in place, I found that I quickly ran out of enthusiasm for the project, largely because it didn't 'feel' to me like what it was originally based on.
Having now read some about the development of Three's, I can see why. Those developers made the prototype in 1 night but spent 14 months testing, refining and tuning their game. When originally deciding to remake it, I had thought that it would be a simple process because the game is mechanically simple. I just hadn't considered how much balancing would also needed to make it feel just right!

What is the preferred way to move a project from Work in Progress to Releases? Should I post a new thread in the Releases category, or change the category on the existing post and update the description/cart/etc?

Been inspired by old Lego products and PC games. I drew up some standard Lego pieces in the Pico-8 and was pleased with how they turned out. Should I make a Pico-Lego Builder out of this? I know it's been done, but I'd like to try my hand at it.

I procrastinated my Godot Project by creating this game instead. I got a timelapse of the coding process over on Mastodon, it was all done this weekend. So please excuse some messy code bits. Anyway.
Journey Through The Nightmare Realm
You (and up to 7 friends) awaken in a dark dungeon. Nothing is as it seems. You have to stick together to not loose one another in the ever changing layout of the dungeon. The dungeon seems to keep track of your progress and rewards you with some stairs leading deeper into the dungeon every so often.
Controls
Player 1:
X to Shoot
Arrows to move

Just a fun or education tool in Pico-8.
It is meant to mimic assembly (no particular version) and has by default 16 registers and 18 commands.
Registers aren't labelled, but they are 1-16.
It is easy to expand or reduce if you want to.
I think it is turing complete, although I am not sure.
To type use the keyboard (no support for mobile), enter to make a new line and right arrow to run.
List of commands:

This is my first game made with pico-8, but won't be the last! I had a lot of fun tinkering with it.
This is a simple game where you guide ducks in the enclosure. You score points when they do!
The controls are simple, use the arrows to move and the X button to dash.
Have fun :)!
