5 years after its release, Shift Trap receives an enhanced edition! This great cart by Sol was held back by sound design that wasn't on the same level of polish as the rest of the game. I loved this game and wanted to tighten it up just a little bit to create the definitive version.
SHIFTTRAP - Enhanced improvements:
• Entirely new music composed by me!
• Removed the constant banging of the gears in the background.
• More pleasing sound effects.
• Added difficulty toggles in the menu between normal and hard.
• Cutscene timing and writing was tweaked to be more concise.
• Several new sound effects added to cutscenes.
• Three levels were tweaked slightly to improve the difficulty curve (levels 2, 11 and 21)
• The duration of the hourglass energy was increased to make it more useable and fun.

You are JAKE BULLET!!!! Exorcist Extraordinaire................
........and you`re on a mission from God!!
You have been sent into the Bowels of hell to rescue stolen innocent souls who have been body-napped by vile demons and using your mighty Exorcism powers, its your job to save these souls and allow them to ASCEND to heaven!
Only when all the souls are saved, will you be ready for ASCENSION!
HOW TO PLAY
Throw or drop Holy Bombs into the path of a demon to turn them vulnerable for an exorcism then pull out your holy cross for a bolt of GOD POWER!!!!!
Crouching and dropping a bomb will make the bomb not roll, useful when playing for oncomming enemies!
Demons will get angry if you leave it too long to exorcise them so dont dily daly!

I'm back!
Okay, I guess no one cares, lol.
I have a new game idea here:
A role-playing platformer game!
The main character is a ghost (a cute, white, round, bouncy one), and he wakes up in a big manor house for unknown reasons
So he had to search for various fragments in the manor and pick up memories of the past.
The gameplay of the game is that players can control the movement of the ghost, and fly in stealth for a limited time. There are still living people in the manor, so they cannot be detected.
Also here's a soundtrack I just made:

i tried adding display_hdmi_rotate / display_rotate / lcd_rotate / display_lcd_rotate =1 in /boot/firmware/config.txt but that only works if i disable kms which causes pico-8 to fail to boot.
i'm running whatever version of raspbian you can get pico-8 rotated on. raspbian full with cmdline boot, raspbian lite, 32 or 64 bit.
i added video=HDMI-A-1:800xx480M@60,rotate=90 to cmdline.txt and that only rotated the cmdline, not pico-8.

Drilt is an Asteroids-style arcade game I've worked on sporadically for while now. For reasons, the next step in its developement requires a complete rewrite from the ground up. So while I pull together a V2, I wanted to post the prototype version and gather some much-needed feedback!
Warning
This game features some intense graphical effects and filters. Most can be toggled in the settings menu as you see fit.
If you believe an effect that isn't disableable should be, please let me know!
Controls
Arrow Keys - move, navigate menu
Z / Select - confirm menu option
Description
Drilt places you in control of a mining ship in an unexplored asteroid belt. After suffering severe hull damage, the ship must replenish its leaking fuel with minerals from the rocks it drills. However, a lurking observer takes issue with your intrusion, and sends its fleets to combat you.

I made a game called Daruma Dolls for Brackeys Game Jam 2025.1
Apologies for not uploading the cart yet, the code is a mess at present, but I will put that out soon.
I didn't get much time so I didn't do everything, but I have so many ideas/features to add. Some of them are new expressions, different colored dolls, and better indicators when the rules change. Please check out this game and if you have any ideas, tell me. Thanks :)
You can play the game here on itchio and as usual I put in some effort on the game profile too.

I can’t figure this one out…
I’m trying to make a simple game where the player picks up strawberries in a set amount of time. I used Rnd() and mset() to randomize where the strawberries are on the map everytime, but I can’t figure out how to make the player interact with them. I can make the strawberries add to a counter, but don’t know how to swap the tiles to the version of the sprite without the red dot that represents the strawberries.
I know I’m doing something wrong but don’t know what. I’ve tried using collisions and flags, and mget and mset, but still no luck.
How can I solve this?

This is Lemon A.D.E., which stands for Automated Dialogue Engine (ADE). With one call per frame, speech bubbles will appear where you want them on-screen.
When a new string is passed to the ade() function, it is rendered with one more character each frame.

Hello! This is our entry to Brackeys Game Jam 2025.1
A quirky Earthbound-inspired RPG about pants. (more like a tiny demo if you ask me...)
Featuring a custom scripting engine, a cute protagonist and a story all about pants.
We may or may not continue working on this game to make the story a bit less about pants. (no guarantees)
This isn't exactly a "complete" game, much of the story is left to be told.

Finally finished my first game. Particle effects were modified from this awesome post https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=53826 and, after adding them, i realised that there's probably a lot i can do to clean up the code so any brutal code review is obviously welcome.

Hello. This is my first game (and using pico 8). I made it for my 5yr old daughter.
Unfortunately the id of the game is something random instead of the intended title...
goal
The idea is simple : solve the equation and receive a coin.
controls
The x is 'enter' and the arrows for navigating.
Please enjoy the game and I if you have any feedback please share.

This is my first Pico-8 game. Use the arrow keys to move the guy around and eat the donuts before the time runs out.
Also, LMK if there are any bugs I need to fix, I didn't really do any play testing

Welcome great adventurers! As you know lately we had troubles with the crypt of the old Lich King! His tomb attracted nearby goblin tribes and they set up camp on the many levels. We ask you to go and clean it up, find their boss so we can rest assured once again. The Lich? Don’t worry he was defeated decades ago, only bones remained.
Now, gather you party and go onwards!

Playing Instructions
On the menu screen, use dead left and right to select a game mode.. Press X to start the game.
The object of the game is to make lines of three or more matching vegetables. To do so, you can swap the position of any two vegetables on the play screen by holding down fire and pushing in a direction. When there are no valid moves left then the board is shuffled – until you run out of shuffles, then it’s game over!
Match three vegetables and they are removed from the board, with new shapes dropping down to replace them. Occasionally an immovable block will be dropped. These can only be removed by strategically dropping them until a line of three or more immovable blocks is made. Match four shapes in a row to destroy a full row or line and match five to destroy all matching shapes and get an extra shuffle.

100 Headaches
100 extremely difficult mate in 2 chess puzzles.
Based on the book 100 Headachingly Hard Mate In Two Chess Puzzles by Sam Loyd by Martin B. Justesen.
Gameplay
It is white to move on every puzzle. But the player ALSO makes black's move rather than a computer-automated response. That way, you can try out different moves for black to prove to yourself that it is, indeed, mate in 2.
Scoring
Plus 5 for every correct move. Minus 1 for every wrong move. Only on unsolved puzzles. Once a puzzle is completed, you can replay it as many times as you like and not lose/gain points.
Navigation
All progress is automatically saved. There is a handy 'map' of all 100 puzzles and you are free to jump to any number you like.
