I'm trying to change my email, so tried to change it through my account settings. After I put the new email in the email field, I get an confirmation email, but when I click at the confirmation link that's sent to that email, the bbs email doesn't change, I just get log out from my account. Pls help!

Gameplay
- Collect Holy Water to fill your Flasks and Level Up! Each Level will grant a different powerful Blessing. Activating a Blessing will consume all flasks.
Development
My first video game! Coded entirely on PICO-8 in May 2024, while restlessly tuning into the Lazy Devs Shmup PICO-8 Tutorial.
This was also my first PICO-8 project, and it won't be my last.

I would write my frustrations if the cookies of my login didn't run out and ended up deleting my draft so I'll make it quick before a vein pops; Platform stutters, no matter what I do, at random intervals. There's no cart (it's so annoying I cannot even write code). I've tried to:
- Reinstall older versions.
- Cleaning the pico8 roaming folder.
- Nvidia drivers and settings (vsync and such).
- Change foreground_sleep_ms and host_framerate_control.
This started happening after I upgraded to windows 11, before that I had 0.2.1 and I had no issues.
Please help.

Posting for feedback on my game in early development. The concept/goal is to game-ify the performance of an exorcism. This version is the first attempt I ran with, and I'm already itching to explore other options for what this game could be, but getting kind of lost. I almost see it becoming a more undertale style turn-based battle with real time events. There's a lot of questions to answer. What ways could the demonic force challenge or fight the player? What's it mean mechanically to exorcise and maybe then fight the demon? Could faith as a resource come in to play? Adding horror elements? Ditch the three lives and use a health system? I'd love to get your thoughts. Thanks.

Fight off waves of enemies and gain an upgrade after each wave.
I made this in about a month and was very inspired by the combat of Hollow Knight (this is essentially my version of the Colosseum of Fools from it).
Controls + Instructions
Controller works too, O and X are just some of the main 4 buttons.
move---⬅️/➡️
jump---🅾️
slash---❎
heal---hold ⬇️
ability---tap 🅾️+❎ at same time (+ ⬆️/⬇️ for some abilities)
You can hold the up/down arrow keys while slashing to direct it up or down, this can be done in mid air and you can bounce of enemies head if you slash down on their heads (aka, pogoing).

Space Collector
This is a small twist on Space Invaders game, my first Pico-8 completed game, and a submission to the PP Jam #5
Whole game and all it's content was created during the jam (two days).
How to play:
Use arrows to move your ship and X button to shoot
Release gems by destroying robots which hold them (be careful not to destroy gems!)
Collect falling gems to score points
Avoid robots' attacks and don't get killed!

my request
here are some fragments of the game code
if collectibletype==colt_ring then
s.score=100
end
add(entities,s)
return s
end
function collectible_update(s)
end
now if on one level I have 3 rings the same and for each ring I get 100 points
I would like to change the code to something like this
if collectibletype==colt_ring then
s.bonus+=1 end
if s.bonus=1 then s.score=100 end
if s.bonus=1 then s.score=200 end
if s.bonus=1 then s.score=400 end
so that for getting the first ring in any order there would be 100 points, for the second 200 points, third 400 points

Not sure if anyone else is seeing the same thing, but both of the devices (Linux laptop, RGB30) I use for PICO-8 0.2.6b, the "New" and "Work In Progress" lists in Splore don't seem to update to match the lists on the BBS. I happened to notice when trying to load my new game on my RGB30 via Splore, but there are a couple of other things I'm not seeing either. Just a rough estimate from looking at the timestamps, this seems to affect the previous 12 hours from the time of this post. My internet connection on both devices is fine and I'm not getting a "Could not connect to BBS" message, it just seems stuck in the past. Not sure if this affects any other parts of Splore. The Featured list does match the one here, but I'm not sure when that was last updated so it could be affecting that too.
Is anyone else seeing the same behavior? I don't think this is just me, but I don't have any way to confirm.
EDIT: Someone just posted a new cart, and that does show up, but the stuff that was missing is still missing, so I'm really not sure what's happening.

Word Zapper for PICO-8 is a mostly faithful recreation of the Atari 2600 game Word Zapper. The original game was published in 1982 by U.S. Games, under their Vidtec label. Fun fact: U.S. Games was owned by Quaker Oats, who bought the company to compete with Parker Brothers, owned at the time by rival cereal company General Mills. Yes, the 80s were a crazy time when cereal companies owned video game companies! Word Zapper was and is one of my favorite games for the 2600 - I even have the actual cartridge. Sadly, Parker Brothers had Frogger and The Empire Strikes Back and won the cereal company video game wars. U.S. Games was shuttered by Quaker Oats in 1983, a year after it was acquired.

Hi everybody!
I am keeping a Google Drive Folder with all Pico-8 featured carts up to now, so I can put them in a handheld and explore what the community has been up to. I hope this is useful!
Here it is: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-l8jHacFznZ3jldSRkcU5oTfiEKOtIv6?usp=sharing
