Yes! It’s a nonograms game!
A wholesome and satisfying puzzle game with 16 original 15x15 puzzles to complete!
Features!
- 16 puzzles of (roughly) increasing difficulty.
- Puzzle progress autosave! Take a break, pick up where you left off.
- Happy little sounds! (And the option to turn them off if it’s not your vibe.)
Controls
- D-Pad/Arrow Keys: Move cursor
- 🅾️/🅰️/C key: Place brick
- ❎/🅱️/X key: Place cross, clear space
Yes, yes… but what’s a nonogram?
If you’ve ever played a Picross, Pic-a-pix… you know the drill, have fun! If not, here’s the rules:
- Fill the grid with yellow bricks in the right combination to win!

Bubble Pop
A simple ball catching game trying to capture the fun of blowing and catching bubbles in the backyard as dusk approaches.
My first ever pico-8 game created for and largely designed by my 3 and 5 yr olds. Thanks boys, this was fun!
Controls
Start / Game Over
❎ or ⭕ to start game
Game
➡️ blow a new bubble (if you have full bubble wand, increases score multiplier)
⬅️ move bubble wand left
⬆️ move bubble wand right
In game all controls are d-pad as my kids seemed to do better with fewer inputs.

Got inspired by Devine and their work on letter detection. Went down a couple different paths, ended up with this (non-unique) idea of splitting up the alphabet into 4 parts, allowing for any letter in 3 or less dpad entries.
This is a prototype. Not sure how I'd want to allow for other punctuation, or numbers or even "done-ness" of entry. But it "works" enough for a quick show/prototype.

I've been working on a little tweetcart so that I might have something to actually release while still at work on more ambitious projects.
I was able to get it down to 272 chars. It runs at 60fps.
Edit: Used up the last few characters fixing a bug, refining the decay and adding some slight interactivity. Some chars can probably be reclaimed by combining the loops somehow (and using goto instead) but I'll probably just leave it at this.
It starts slow and continues building over time. Enjoy!

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.
