About
Praxis Fighter X is a fast-paced single stage retro shoot-em-up. Dodge bullets and fight off the militarized police force defending a corporate toxic sludge pipeline.
Inspired by old-school shmups/STGs, the game focuses on reflex-based action and satisfying destruction while including some modern comforts like a smaller player hitbox and a focus mode.
It's on the difficult side but with dedication and the power of 3 Continues you will persevere.

This is a game I made before I made this account, in fact this is the first game I made on pico-8. It never really had a name until now, just being called 'coingame'. But now that I'm releasing it I decided to give it a slightly better name, Green-Man's Coins.
Green-Man will likely appear in future games, including a way better one that I'm working on right now.
Feb 2, 2023: Deluxe version! menus, music and more!
Items:
- GreenMan: Your character. Use the directional buttons to move.
- Friend: Friendly character. Will destroy an enemy if it touches one.
- Enemy: Enemy character. You will lose one life if you touch an enemy.
- Coin: Collectible. Collect one to increase your score.

two warriors stand, ready to compete in a pure test of ability.
No tricks or gimmicks,
just their brawns, brains, and faithful swords.

Is there a way to, at runtime, trigger a reload of the game (changed code, possibly with #include s, and all) ?
Reason : I'm coding in an external editor and want to eliminate the edit-save-switch-run-switch loop by periodically, say within _update, trigger said reload+run.
Thanks

Here’s a simple example:
a=0
while(a<4) a+=1 if(a!=3) ?a
print('lol')
|
Expected output:
1 2 4 lol |
Actual output:
1 lol 2 lol lol 4 lol |

CPU meter can also be switched using Ctrl + O. As per the PICO-8 manual, originally only Ctrl + P is required.
This specification seems strange to me.
Recently, it has become possible to implement an option to operate in combination with Ctrl.
For example, when developing tools, there are times when you want to use the Ctrl + O keys to open files (data).

This is my game for global game jam 2024, from Rome, Italy
It's a Street Fighter style game turn based. Your opponent starts a joke, and you have to replay in the right way using the right movement combination.
Jokes are in italian just because they are inspired by Pera Toons a famous italian author for kids. The game is designed in coop with my 9 years old daughter Margherita who also creates the pixel art

Someone randomly mentioned Minecraft on the official unofficial Discord, and with the PICO-8 Free Music Jam starting tomorrow (plug!), that inspired this chill but slightly dissonant background loop. Approximately two and a quarter minutes long, uses 00, 01, and 02 for custom SFX instruments, total of 15 SFX and 16 patterns.

My First Try - This "Game" is a Test!
After some umming and ahhing I decided to give PICO 8 a try. I've played around with the likes of Unity before, but for all intents and purposes I'm a complete noob when it comes to both coding and game dev.
The Intention
My intention here was to get familiar with PICO 8 and Lua. I spent a few weeks looking at tutorials and making up as I went along. The general plan was to create a vertical slice of a top down shooter in a similar vein to the classic VIC-20 game AMOK.
The Concept
The protagonist is able to move and shoot projectiles in 4 directions from a top down perspective.

Now it's time to move on to the real game. This is only the start of the torture in comparison to the real game's C-sides.
