This started as an exercise to learn player movement and control, and then as I was trying out new things I just kept adding until it wound up being something kind of fun. I'm new to this and trying to learn, so feedback and criticism are very welcome! Thanks!

A little "interactive experience" to see if I understood particle systems. Press "c" to fire.

My first attempt making a new concept from scratch. Had to learn/trial-and-error circle math to make it work!

I'm proud and honored to have been interviewed in Retro Gamer issue #268 about being a PICO-8 gamedev. Big thanks Andrew Fisher who runs the homebrew section at Retro Gamer for the opportunity to share a little bit of my story. The issue is the one with the Mega Drive on the cover and it just hit shelves here in the US in March (last month in the UK). Barnes & Noble stores carry it but you can also get a subscription online - highly recommended.
It's only 4 paragraphs and few screenshots but it's still neat to see yourself a video game magazine...long time reader, first time featured :) I'm not sure if my story or games deserve such a spotlight but I'll take the 15 minutes of nerd fame. And anything to shine some more light on PICO8 is always part of the mission as well...according to the article, I'm an "advocate" lol

Goal:
Dig as deep as you can!
Movement:
Press and hold a direction to accumulate charge, and let go of all direction keys to slingshot the ball in the desired direction.
Available charge accumulates over time, and is displayed at the top of the screen.
The faster the ball, the more damage it deals.
Score:
Bricks spawn with varying health. Each time a brick is destroyed, its initial health is added to your score.
Power Ups
2x doubles the amount of points bricks provide.
4x quadruples the amount of points bricks provide.
Maximum Charge keeps available charge at the maximum amount.
Maximum Damage allows the ball to destroy any brick upon contact, regardless of speed.

Do you have examples of carts that imply that pico8 actually existed? Like with an authentic cart label or a "copyright" disclaimer, or something like a pdf MANUAL included with the game, just like how real game cartridges were distributed back then?
I really like the idea of implementing something like this in my games. Here's what I did for one of my tools:
This only extends to the cart label having a "studio" name, a pico8 logo and a creative commons license logo though.

I need help with this one error I've been getting. I've tried adding a wave feature to my shoot em up, and now every time I get to wave 2 it gives me this error.
I just know that something about the wave changing and the lack of enemies on screen has to do with it, but I can't figure out where the issue is.

tennis is just a small, 2-player game, where you must, well, play tennis! Hit the ball back and forth, and if it hits your side of the screen, the other player gains a point, and the first player to reach 7 points wins!

11 year old dominic made this game!

No Audio Warning, Use headphones as you please, for there is no sound. Crank up the Volume!!!
Is this game possible to be beaten? I surely didn't check. That's not whats important. What's important is that this is indeed a waste full of wasteful time. :)
