Result of mini gamejam with my 6 year old kid.

This cart has already had its ID written to the bottom of the MAP (x:0-127, y:32-64).
When you run it, the following processes are performed.

• Change the drawing target to the sprite sheet
• Call rectfill() with color 0 on the bottom of the sprite sheet (shared with the bottom of the MAP)
• Change the drawing target to the screen
• Draw the bottom of the MAP

The screen should turn completely black as expected, but the MAP continues to draw what it was before it was updated.

Finally, it calls cstore() to exit, and when you run it again, it will update to a completely black screen.

Murdercrab! A 5 stage caravan thing that I'm currently tweaking. There is a bug or two but should be able to make it all the way through to the TLB. There are lots of knobs under the hood to mess with level scaling and balance, let me know if you come up with a good balance. I'm still dinking around with the bullet patterns as I'm not really happy with them atm.

Ripped all the music from pico tunes, so all credit goes to gruber for music

Update 1
I found the fun
Most of the balancing and patterns are in a better state, although the game is too easy.
The core gameplay loop is locked for the most part. I'm still chasing a couple of errors and bugs, especially with the hi score.

Next step is to split it in to two carts and polish

Update 2
did the split and a little polishing. High scores still broken.

Hmm, ill have to figure this out later, it's not loading right in the BBS. If you download both carts you should be able to play it fine. Start with the menu cart

Basically remade the original Super Mario Brothers for the NES from 1985.
The game is still work in progress, so Question Blocks don't work yet.
More will be added soon!

I've been working on a little side project while making my first Pico-8 game.
It's a cart with some art in it.
I've recently tried adding in a zoom feature for the smaller art.
But for some reason it won't change screens.
Any help would be great.

Well, this is no pong.

This game was made for the NOKIA 3310 JAM 6, in like 2 days or so.
The entire game was made in only like 823 compressed bytes! which is like a 1/20 of the original donkey kong game :O
Check out the original jam post Nokia Jam / Nopong

READ THE CONTROLS!

• Left and right to move
• DOWN TO GAIN MOMENTUM DOWNWARTS
• you have to keep your height to break the blocks

Gain points by breaking blocks,
when you break all blocks you have to die ONCE and then go on the platform again,

I recommend playing it with sound, have fun :)

We are holding our next big PICO-8 giveaway event in April!

This time we are holding a Game Design Jam on itch where participants can win a PICO-8 license just by planning and designing the game they want to make!

Starting April 1st and running the whole month, we will provide a template document to make it easy to write down the game ideas and plan it out in detail. Open to all ages and experience levels!

Itch.io Jam Page

I know most people here already own PICO-8, but you can help us spread the word!

You're also welcome to join too if you just want to try out the Game Design Doc template we made and see if it helps you work out the details of your game. When you submit, there will be a checkbox to opt-out of winning a reward.

nerdyjam giveaway event

Decided to try Pico 8 first before diving into Godot 4.

Yes, Tucson is hot and I would not recommend coming during the summer as it literally kills your incentive to do anything as it drains your energy like getting a zap by an electro-static charge.

Crabby Human Rescue

Save the people sinking into the deep sea! See how many you can save by the end of the level by blowing bubbles to keep them afloat! Just be sure to position them near the magical gateways so they can be teleported to safety. Just be careful and don't ever let them EVER touch the ground.
