Race a speed boat around a track. Controls are fast.
Its a little rough, but I'm considering it feature complete at this stage.
Enjoy!
Technically I've learnt a bit about dynamic features.
For instance, the speedboat on the menu is moving itself, the waves are dynamically generated, and bouncing off the wall is based on your angle of hitting it.

A (barely) unfinished game I made a few years ago. Like 2048, but instead of numbers, you have chess pieces! They will move in the direction you press, but they'll choose at random if there's multiple options. A piece can capture a piece of the same type and upgrade!
Pieces upgrade as follows:
Pawn -> Rook -> Knight -> Bishop -> Queen
Two White Queens combine into a Black Pawn. Black pieces upgrade similarly, but with a twist: a black piece can also capture a white piece of the same type, and it simply destroys it with no reward!
The win condition wasn't implemented, but you should consider it a victory if you manage to create and combine two Black Queens.

Tomorrow’s winds will blow tomorrow
A torii gate stands, braced against the wind, in the middle of the lake. Snow falls from grey clouds and only the feintest silhouette of the sun is visible.

Block Buster
A simple but addictive falling block game where you swap stacks of coloured blocks to prevent any stack from reaching the top. Includes 2 timed modes and an endless mode with their own highscores.
How to play
Move the cursor left and right and press O to swap the selected stacks.
Press down to drop the blocks faster, or X to immediately drop them to the top of the stack.
As you match blocks the speed that they fall will increase. For endless mode higher levels apply a multiplier to the score.
In timed mode see how many blocks you can match within 2 or 5 minute rounds.
Development
In late August I was looking to keep myself occupied with a simple coding project while I waited for my other half to go into labour. The code comes in well under the token limit at 3833 tokens, 90% of which was written in one day and I've slowly added bits of polish in the time since. The hardest part for me was trying to make such a simple game visually interesting. I'm fairly happy with how it's turned out and now I can finally push my first release to the BBS some 4 years after I became excited by PICO-8! :)

Fast Asleep
A fast-paced arcade game about counting sheep to fall asleep! Open gates to let sheep in - but be careful not to let any wolves in!
Keep counting sheep to stay asleep. Letting wolves in the pen is not automatically a game over... Instead it increases the speed of the sleep/wake meter - making the game harder.
Gameplay is similar to the mobile game Timberman.
How to play
- Use the X and O buttons to navigate the menus.
- Use the UP arrow key to open the top gate. Use the DOWN arrow key to open the bottom gate.

PHOTOSENSITIVITY WARNING:
Contains flashy rapidly changing text.
The text in the cart should explain what this is well enough; this idea was borrowed from a friend, and is based on the classic "infinite monkey theorem" (which I was very surprised to learn is the actual name). After hearing about this idea, I wanted to implement it into PICO-8, thinking it would make for an interesting little text effect. I don't think it has any practical application, but I created an alternate mode (activated with X) which reminds me of a hacking scene, the kind you'd find in a movie that doesn't know what hacking is about.

Hey!
How to replicate:
If you enter CONFIG, then enter CONFIG THEME, then press up twice and execute CONFIG command without retyping it, it will execute CONFIG THEME again instead.
Expected behavior:
Execute CONFIG and not CONFIG THEME.
If you do the same, but then retype CONFIG from your keyboard, it opens CONFIG properly; even if you use UP twice, delete a single character and then retype it, it will work properly. It glitches out only when you're repeating the command while recalling it with UP and not altering it.
