Welcome to Pack Tactics!
Pack Tactics is a party game for 1-6 players* where you each captain a submarine and hunt your target, without them managing to track and hunt you! The game is sort of the inverse of battleship. You need to try and remember where your own ship is, even if you can see your enemies. You can ping to locate yourself and nearby subs, but then everyone knows where you are!
A 2 player campaign is included with 16 levels, but I recommend playing Custom Scenarios with more friends once you get the basics down. PVP is very entertaining.
* I haven't thoroughly tested 6 player games because my computer doesn't have 6 USB ports.
Queueing for play.
Once a level is chosen, the game will prompt all players to press the fire key 🅾️ and confirm they are active. All inactive players will be controlled by Ally AI, unless the game detects it is a PVP scenario. In which case uncontrolled players will become grey enemy AI.

I Wanna See If Pico 8 Was Easy To Make And How It Was Made, Because I Want To Make My Own Fantasy Console
2 comments
A lot of old games save space by using the same data for multiple purposes. I’ve seen code used as graphics, code inside graphics, graphics containing map data, and was daydreaming what parts of pico8 could be interesting to use as double purpose.
The game thumbnail seems very promising : 128x128 32 Colors is 10Kb worth which is pretty big for pico8.
There ´s nohing in the api related to it, just a keyboard shortcut to save the current screen to it. It’s hidden when using the built in editor, but you can see it when viewing a .p8 file.
I’m a newbie in lua, and don’t know if it’s a valid lua section, or maybe a type of multi line named comment designed for documentation for example.
Or maybe it’s just part of the .p8 format and never passed to the interpreter ?
If there’s a way in code to interact with it, I’d love to know.
Or maybe the source code is somehow in the scope of the program and can be opened and parsed ?

Hi, all! I've been making Pico-8 stuff for a while and putting it in various places but I decided to finally start uploading it here and trying to be part of this community.
This is Bouncy's Winter Solstice Ride, another greeting card game I sent to my friends and family over the holidays last year. It's a game about sledding around and delivering presents to all the animals in your village.

This is Maximum Overdrive 2, which I made for PiCoSteveMo, a game jam themed around the works of Stephen King. It's a non-combat roguelike in which you're trying to survive in a future where self-driving taxis have paved the entire planet.

This is Hop's Big Adventure In The Gift Dimension, which I made in 2022 as a Christmas greeting card game for my friends and family. It's a mash-up of Glider and VVVVVV.

This post originally contained all four games I'm uploading but it looks like that's not how you make games available on the BBS, so I'm editing it and creating separate posts for each of them.
This is Basil's Adventure, which I made in 2016 as a Christmas present for my wife. It's a platformer in which you play a dog exploring a cave.

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!
