I really hope to be able to bring this to the pico-8 community soon.
I can easily get stuck in a rut and let my projects stagnate.
I'm not having much luck getting the cart to work in browser. You will likely need to run it to your system.
Please share any feedback you may have.

Mini Cars [early]
It was just an idea I had; I wanted to code working streets, and I did. It was like a fun mini-programming challenge.
There are three cars that you can switch between with [O/C]:
normal: takes a random turn
clockwise: takes a right turn
counter-clockwise: takes a left turn
Use Mouse and X to place cars. Cars on grass will be destroyed.
You have a budget of $100 when a countdown will start; if during that time a car crashes, you lose, but if nothing happens, you win.
Your score is how many cars there are after the countdown.
About
After the streets worked, I had no clue what to do. So I came up with this, which I am not very proud of. I would be happy if someone had a better idea.

Displays an animation of a parabola.
After opening the menu, use the up and down keys to select the item you wish to control.
Z: open control menu / close control menu
- START: Specifies the animation start position.
- TARGET: Specifies the animation end position.
- HEIGHT: Adjusts the height of the middle point.
- DURATION: Specifies the animation length. (If TIME exceeds DURATION, the animation will start from the beginning.)
- FRAMERATE: Switches the frame rate to 30 or 60.

Started with the Moon Lander tutorial on YouTube, then got a bit carried away adding new features and redoing most of it.
Fancier ground graphics, added planets, moving star field, and lots more.
The faster you land (and the less fuel you use) the higher your score for that level, and it tracks your score accumulating until you die. Makes it pretty fun as you try to do suicide-burns last second to still slow down enough and not go splat.
Stores your best score for next time you play.
First PICO-8 game I've shared with friends/etc who seemed to like it, and now adding it here so we can access it from Splore.

Gift Drop
20 Game Challenge entry #2
Jetpack Joyride clone
This is my version of Jetpack Joyride, converted to a holiday theme, for entry 2 in the 20 Game Challenge.
Controls are simple:
Press Z or X to see a brief instructions screen.
Press Z or X to start the game.
In game, press Z to fly, release to fall
Press forward to throw a gift forward, down to drop it
Get your gift in the chimney to score points (3 pts for a thrown gift, 1 for a dropped gift)
Any ungifted chimneys are -1 point when they go offscreen
As you progress farther, there will be more obstacles, like birds, to knock you back and deflect your gifts

If you'd like more, consider hopping over to my Ko-fi page, where I share pixel art, game devlogs, postmortems, code rundowns, all that gamedev jazz! And if you can maybe drop in a coffee so I can make the next one faster!
Thank you Csöndi, Nerdy Teachers and Fletch for allowing me to keep up this hobby!

mer ork - a demo released at Assembly Summer 2024. A conclusion to the quasi-trilogy started by snäkätor.
Placed 2nd in the Fantasy Console compo.
Uses the tiniest trifill function by p01 from the Trifill Thunderdome for triangle rasterization (yet again!), and PX9 for data compression. Picotool is used for minification, again.
Runs perfectly on v0.2.6b, and on future releases too, I hope.

This is a little game I made for the 10th LowRezJam in 2024
The objective is to keep the seesaw as level as possible, this will fill up the green progress bar. Lower your time the better
More horizontal seesaw = More faster progress fill up

I thought I'd upload this because I doubt I'll be able to finish it - at least as a Pico-8 game. Basically it was too ambitious and I ran out of space. Maybe I'll port it to Picotron someday, but for now it's basically a tech demo.
You wake up in an android body in a factory in a mining town on Saturn's largest moon, Titan. You have to solve the mystery of who you are and what happened, and maybe how you can put things right.
Or at least you would if the game was finished. For now there's a little puzzle about exiting the factory, and some dialog sequences. After that there's a car to drive, a slightly glitchy plane to fly and some empty buildings you can look inside.
It's intended to be a game about exploration and dialog.
