This is my entry to TweetTweetJam 9, a game jam where games had to be written with at most 500 characters of code. I ended up using 484 characters.
Billabong is a two player strategy game. Players take turns to flood the maze with coloured liquid. One player fills the maze with red liquid, the other with blue. The player who fills the most of the screen with their colour wins.
To start flooding a channel, tap the screen if playing on a mobile device, or click with the mouse if playing on a desktop machine. The game works best on a mobile device so that the players don't have to share a single mouse.
The stats display at the bottom of the screen shows the players' scores and who has the next turn.

cart A: (broken)
msg="havent pressed test yet" menuitem(1,"★test",function() msg="pressed test!" end) ::_:: ?"\^1\^c" --https://www.lexaloffle.com/dl/docs/pico-8_manual.html#Control_Codes print(time(),0,0,7) print(msg) goto _ |
cart B: (working)
msg="havent pressed test yet" menuitem(1,"★test",function() msg="pressed test!" end) ::_:: flip()?"\^c" --this line is the only difference print(time(),0,0,7) print(msg) goto _ |
These two carts should behave the same, but the menuitem function in cart A never runs -- after opening the menu and selecting the menuitem, it still says "havent pressed test yet"
cart B works as expected -- it says "pressed test!"
My system is linux / pico8 0.2.6b

Parascute
Parascute is a 2D game about turtle eggs that have been snatched by an evil eagle. The player is a tortoise that must catch the falling eggs and save them from a fatal fall.
Controls
- Left and Right arrow keys to move around
Rules
The rules are simple: save as many eggs as you can!
To do so, follow along with the flying eagle and catch the eggs it drops. But be careful, sometimes the eagle will drop rocks to break the eggs you have already caught in your basket.
About
The project is meant to be a learning project. The main focuses for this game are to improve my competence in basic music composition and learning to implement an Entity Component System pattern.
I wat to give a shoutout to the amazing

Blue and green disagree, only one way to solve this problem. Dropping rocks on each other's heads. The first person to drop a rock on the other's head three times wins the game.
Only one controller is required to play. new update : the first player will be the green player on the left and presses either the buttons or the arrows the other player will be the blue player.
This game is very freely inspired (copied) on Dong dong a two-player mini game present on WarioWare Inc on GBA. Thanks to them.

How To Play
- Z - Shoot
- X - Rockets
- Arrow keys - Move
Some enemies have a blue outline - when they die, collect their ghost for a large score bonus. Each ghost is worth 50 points times the number of ghosts collected so far - so the key to a high score is to not miss any of the ghosts.
After you've used your rockets 3 times, they take 10 seconds to reload. Save your rockets for difficult situations or blue enemies.
Inertia is on by default, which makes the player's helicopter move smoothly. If you prefer more responsive controls without acceleration and deceleration you can turn inertia off.

Hi..

I decided to make a funky stars demake...
I also remixed it a tiny bit!
the tic80 version really inspired me to try doing it for pico-8, and i hope it sounds good!
enjoy!

Play as the Special Teams HOLDER in this high stakes, pulse pounding simulation.
Phase 1 - Press O (keyboard Z) to snap the ball, use the direction pad to catch the ball and move on to phase 2.
Phase 2 - Use left and right to align the laces perfectly in the center, ensuring the kicker has a perfect setup.
Press X (keyboard X) at any time to restart. Being a Special Teams HOLDER requires lightning reflexes- arrows on the keyboard will work but it is best played with a controller.
Do you have what it takes to be a Special Teams HOLDER?
Made for the 21st Eggjam. Special thanks to Simon Wittmann for the inspiration and technical consulting.

Simple Background Editor!
NOTE - "tile" mode is just for debugging how it will look against a tilemap, its not saved to the background
controls are explained inside the tool, you can also right click to copy the color the cursor is over!
once you save the background, it will be copied to your clipboard as a string to use.
Background Usage Example!
open this project in pico-8 to see how to implement these backgrounds, theyre fast n' cheap!

Henry Jr and the Satchel of Doom
You are a famous professor of archaeology and you have found a secret cave somewhere in the deepest jungle of the Americas. Luckily, you came prepared with your trusty satchel. It is a satchel, not a handbag! But it is also doomed. It seems there is always room for more, no matter how many artefacts you stuff into it. Like your greed! Unfortunately, you have no choice but to travel deeper into the cave to find more artefacts.
Avoid shooting skulls, flying blocks, deadly traps and ugly nazis.
Update 1
Fixed an issue where players could get stuck in a bonus game loop. Hopefully 🤞
