I started this game last year. I need to finish it.
There's no story yet. It was just artwork I came up with as I really want to build a platformer.
Also I hate how gingers are portrayed as bad guys in movies (as I am one - ginger I mean).
There's mean koalas... and yummy bananas...
There's also double jump.
And a song I got from the forums. I will credit the artist in the game as soon as I remember where I pulled it from.
[ THINGS I HAVE LEARNED ]
- Using bigger than 8x8 sprites
- Using mulitple collision checks
- Using tables

This is a game I started at the beginning of the 2023. I wanted to create something simple while learning PICO-8. As you can tell the game is not finished but I am working on completing it during the next few days. I code while at sea and that can be difficult to make progress while working.
There are still things missing. My biggest hurdle is to make the game feel balanced. Right now it is too easy.
[ THINGS I HAVE LEARNED ]
- Using bigger than 8x8 sprites
- Collision boxes
- Starting to wrap my head around using functions within tables (OOP?)

My first real Pico-8 game, a port of Paku Paku, a 1D Pacman game by Kenta Cho, with some small changes and added features.
I think it's pretty fun, but would appreciate any feedback! Also interested in seeing how high your scores can get. My current best is 8,223.
Controls
Press 'x' to start, and change the direction with the left and right arrows.
While the ghost is red, it'll eat you, but if you eat a power pellet, it becomes briefly weak, and you can eat it.
Scoring
- Each basic pellet is worth points equal to your current level.
- If you eat the ghost when it's weak, you'll get 10 times the current level.

Hello. I was thinking on how can I make enemy AI the simplest way?
I was looking on YouTube but most of the tutorials are hard to understand.
I am a beginner when it comes to pico 8, so if anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.

About what you would expect from a game called "Pogo Celeste". Also includes some tweaked levels and a few new mechanics. (Small update: Improved some spawns that would lead to an immediate walljump, Fixed the sign at 1100M by making the hitbox taller)

Hello everyone !
My name's Vincent and this is my first prototype here.
It is based on a real-time card game called Brawl : https://crabfragmentlabs.com/shop/p/brawl
Rules
The goal is to score BASEs, by getting more HITs on it than your opponent. At the end of the game, the player who scored the most BASEs wins.
In PRACTICE mode, each player plays one card alternatively. In TOURNAMENT mode, players don't wait for their opponent. Games can last less than 40 seconds !

Make your way through an unforgiving world... full of birds
A mini-platformer inspired by Limbo. You're a girl stuck in the rain, just trying to make it through.
Preview of some birds
And more birds
Background / Credits
This is my first game. I discovered pico-8 a little earlier this year and had to give it a try. Like many others, I was inspired by all of the great carts out there. In particular, I got a ton of value from this post by shy, the lazy dev shmups content, and this cart on fractal trees from bjornkri.

Escape Toaster Hell
This game was made for the Illinois State University 2023 Winter Game Jam. Theme: Stronger together
Features:
- Esoteric Toaster Hell
- Orthographically Projected 3-D Graphics
- High Score List
- Bread
Technicalities:
The 3-D effects in this game were achieved by layering 2-D cross sections of a toaster, The images were layered based on the screen position, to achieve an orthographic effect. These computations are relatively light and can be easily handled by pico-8's limited CPU. The platforms are similarly rendered, but slight perspective is added by calculating the two sides of the platform separately.

Oh hey, a thing we're doing is live!
The PICO-8 Free Music Jam is an itch.io jam for musicians with a very simple concept: PICO-8 devs want music to put in their carts, we're gonna make music for their carts.
It'll be running for the full month of February - no ratings, no competition, just music for PICO-8. And if you wanna get started making music, in PICO-8 or at all, there's loads of resources linked on the jam page.
(edit: And many thanks to the folks in the #music-sfx channel of the official unofficial PICO-8 Discord who came together to hatch this idea and hammer out the details, and to @paraK00PA for the awesome cover art!)

A time progress visualiser thing that's sort of like a clock/calendar hybrid. I don't know how to describe it well.
Use the left and right arrows to switch between four views:
Year View
Visualise time progress throughout the year.
Split into months horizontally and days within each month vertically.
If the year is highlighted, this view is being shown.
Month View
Visualise time progress throughout the month.
Split into days vertically and hours within each day horizontally.
If the month is highlighted, this view is being shown.
Day View
Visualise time progress throughout the day.
Split into hours horizontally and minutes within each hour vertically.

Avoid the rocks as you climb, collecting any treasure you can along the way.
This was another super simple game while I continue trying out things. Was playing around with the sound a bit more as well as adding animations, trying to understand them better.
