this game has a nice peel..
controls:
- Up and Down = move the knife/stick
- hold c = move faster vertically
Lore:
After years of practice this now is the final exam, bob has to make it. After failing school, work and college, his only choice was clear. To eat potatoes, that would make him grow bigger and stronger, or so he thought. Life is hard, it was a constant pressure on him, he could not rest a minute. that's how busy he was, peeling potatoes. The problem was there, bob didn't have a proper peeler, or a knife. He had to use a stick (don't ask how its possible). The potatoes were weird as well, there were only huge ones. In fact, he was standing on the potatoes. But after years of training and hard work, it finally came to him. He knew the perfect job for him. So he applied for a job at peelstation, you know, the place where they make potato games. But here comes the twist. His parents were actually giraffes. But to him, it didn't matter, his goal is clear. He needs to get a 100% on this test, otherwise he isn't the potato master. Just imagine the consecutive, it would be eternal shame. This here is the moment, can YOU make it ?

A simple SameGame clone with limited and endless modes.
Rules
In SameGame, you need to remove groups of like-coloured tiles from a randomly-generated board. Clearing larger groups of tiles will award you more points. You cannot remove individual tiles.
Tiles will fall downwards if the tiles below them have been removed. If a column is cleared completely, all of the tiles to the right of it will be shifted left to close the gap.
Modes
Both modes start with the grid full of random tiles.
- Normal Mode
In Normal Mode, the goal is to remove as many tiles from the board as possible. The score and move counters don't really mean much in this mode. - Endless Mode

> The year is 1974. You just got out of the theater and saw that scary shark flick. As you walk home thinking about the movie, you pass an arcade and there it is: A brand-new game based on the movie you just saw. You check your pockets for quarters. Let's do this.
This is my entry for the 2024 FishFest Game Jam. Help Kalea the shark get her dinner. But beware! Barrels of gunpowder, harpoons, and a guy named Quint are out to hurt you. Try to string fish bites together for more points.
How to play
Hold Z or X and release to jump out of the water and eat fish.
Avoid barrels, harpoons and oxygen tanks!
Here's a proof-of-concept for a zoomable camera:
Features
- Multiple cameras
- Set target coordinates, drawn at the camera center
- Set zoom factor, for drawing scaled map and sprites
Functionality
- camera.get_center()
- camera.set_target(x, y)
- camera.get_target()
- camera.start_draw()
- camera.draw_map(tx, ty, tw, th, x, y)
- camera.draw_spr(s, x, y)
- camera.draw_sspr(sx, sy, sw, sh, x, y)
- camera.end_draw()
Relies on this smap function. Code is below or via GitHub.
Hi all, here's a tutorial for creating circular movement, including 'wavy' and circular text (click the image below):
The code can be found below, or on GitHub
How to play:
Arrows to move, X to start. You can step twice, before most monsters stepping once. There are exceptions to this rule.
Find Swords and Shields to help you overcome the enemy horde!
Search the key, uncover where the trapdoor is, and progress further to grab the McGuffin.

Z key / O button: fire machine guns (front-facing, infinite ammunition)
PHOTOSENSITIVE EPILEPSY (PSE) - SEIZURE WARNING FLICKERING IMAGES!
Just finished a write-up on this but managed to lose it somehow, so here's the short version.
Trying to write a couple of my own Triangle Fill algorithms before digging into any of the ideas presenting in this thread:
https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=31478
One of the algorithms I tried poorly "borrows" ideas from Brenesenham's Line Drawing Algorithm found here:
The Jelpi demo included with PICO-8, but with a cheat menu that can do some pretty funny stuff.
Cheats
Page 1:
RESTART LEVEL
: Restarts the current level. Unmodified from the original version.THANOS SNAP
: Activates the glitch mushroom effect, but way more intense. Destroys the game pretty much instantly.MAKE BREAKABLE
: Makes all of the tiles in the current level breakable.SKIP LEVEL
: Skips the current level.
Page 2:
INVINCIBILITY
: Activates the invincibility power-up effect for the duration of the current level.INFINITE CHARGE
: Disables the cooldown on Jelpi's charge attack, allowing him to go very, VERY fast.TOO MANY GEMS
: Turns the breakable blocks and some background objects into gems.
Petri
Petri is a chill cellular life simulator. Witness the rise and fall of countless living cells all trying their best to survive and reproduce.
Behavior and ultimate fitness are governed by stats, mutations, and a move-set, all of which are encoded into rudimentry DNA that is passed down to offspring.
Cells that consume enough food become healthy enough to reproduce. Reproduction weakens a cell, but allows it to pass its DNA (with potential mutations) on to the next generation.
Controls
❎ (X): Cycle through display modes
Enter/Pause: Display pause menu and adjust various game parameters
Additional Info
Stats
Each cell has three stats: strength, agility, and speed.
- Speed determines how likely a cell is to move
- Strength determines how likely a cell is to consume energy each time it moves
- Agility determines how likely a cell is to change direction each time it moves
Move Sets
Each cell has a move-set consisting of a list of numbers, 1-4, representing a cardinal direction.
Display Modes
The default display mode will output the number of living cells, the number of total births, the number of total dead cells, the amout of food currently in the environment, and the highest generation achieved.
The text-based display mode outputs the stats of the most recently birthed cells. Move-sets for each cell are indicated by a band of pixels, each color representing a different direction.
Sounds
There are only two sounds effects in the game, one to indicate a birth, and one to indicate a death.
