By https://www.instagram.com/shandaram77/ and me for the climate march in Hague on February 7th.
Hi everybody!
Last week I launched one of the smallest JRPG's you'll ever play: TinyRPG! Recover your stolen egg by defeating monsters, level up and discover hidden areas in my second Pico-8 game! (It's a multi-cart so unfortunatly not on the BBS)
https://prrrpl.itch.io/tiny-rpg
I'm really curious what the talented people in the Pico-8 community think of the game. I want to develop the game further so any feedback (especially on the player-experience) is very welcome!
Another thing I'm struggling with is attracting players! Does anybody have any suggestions with regards to this topic? I've reached out to IndieGamesPlus.com but I had a hard time getting in touch with other media-centric folks with an affinity for the smallest Indie Games.
Thanks so much in advance!

An attempt to replicate the Star Gate effect from "2001: A Space Odyssey." Use Z to turn the 'music' on or off.
Made in ~2 hours , because I lost a challenge. Based on an original idea by raphael stemmelen.
Controls :
Arrow keys : move
I didn't find any way to change it,is it even possible?
Left/Right to move.
X to interact.
Move fast, complete collegaues' requests, and earn money to buy the gift.
This game was made by me and my collegaues: Ilya Aleksandrov and Ilya Koplevsky for a quick 5-day jam - the Black Humor Jam at itch.io
We've worked together for a few years, yet this is our first attempt to work as a gamedev team.
map(level*8,0,0,0,8,15,0) for i=1,8,1 do map(level*8+8-i,0,56+i*8,0,1,15) end |
First I want to say Pico-8 is a lot of fun and I was able to get into it quickly despite barely any knowledge of LUA.
So I got the idea to only draw half a level and mirror it to be symmetrical, however collision detection doesn't seem to work on the right side. I can post more if anyone needs more information, but I've included a GIF showing the issue and the code I used to generate the map.
Pull boxes, press X if stuck.
Interspace
Take control of a small ship and blast your way through hordes of enemies.
This game is also on itch.io!
[https://justfire45.itch.io/interspace]
Match the sin wave and press X to score. Don't touch the robots! If they start giving you too much trouble, drop them a doughnut to chase after.
If you make it to level 4, the special gold robots chase after you!
Hi, everyone. I made a very simplistic scene manager for you all to use, its somewhat compressed as well. here's an example:
Basically, this scene manager allows you to create init, update and draw for each scene (as well as anything else you want to cook up, of course).
HOW TO USE
to make a new scene, use the command 'nscn' inside of your init function. for example: nscn({init=function() end, update=function() end, draw=function() end})
to grab the current scene thats running so you can modify it or its variables, you can simply create a local variable called 'self'.
local this=scn['self']()
(or local this=scn.self())
to switch to a scene, you'll need to comment the ID of that scene so you don't lose track. I recommend you have a function that launches at the init() of your game that creates all of your scenes for you.
command to load a scene: scn_mng.go(id) where id is the scene number you want to run.
Finally, you need to put the 2 commands inside draw() and update(). in update(), put scn_mng.update() and in draw put scn_mng.draw()
code snippit:
--scene manager
--shooting★
scn = {self=function() return scn[scn_mng.r] end} scn_mng = { go=function(s) scn_mng.r = s scn[s].init() end, draw=function() scn[scn_mng.r].draw() end, update=function() scn[scn_mng.r].update() end } function nscn(d) local a={ init=d.init or function() end, update=d.update or function() end, draw=d.draw or function() end } add(scn, a) end |
code example (used in cart above)
--sample
function create_scenes()
--scene 1
nscn({
init=function()
--create a local var called
--this and set it to self
--scene
local this=scn['self']()
--create particles
this.particles = {}
for i=0,16 do
local a={rnd(127),rnd(127),rnd(2)}
add(this.particles, a)
end
--create a timer to switch
--to scene 2 with
this.timer=0
end,
update=function()
--create a local var called
--this and set it to self
--scene
local this=scn['self']()
this.timer+=1
if this.timer==120 then
this.timer=0
--switch to scene 2
scn_mng.go(2)
end
end,
draw=function()
--create a local var called
--this and set it to self
--scene
local this=scn['self']()
--draw particles
for i=1,#this.particles do
pset(this.particles[i][1],
this.particles[i][2],
7)
this.particles[i][1]+=this.particles[i][3]
this.particles[i][2]+=this.particles[i][3]
end
end
})
--scene 2
nscn({
init=function()
--create a local var called
--this and set it to self
--scene
local this=scn['self']()
this.timer=0
end,
update=function()
--create a local var called
--this and set it to self
--scene
local this=scn['self']()
this.timer+=1
if this.timer==120 then
this.timer=0
--switch back to scene 1
scn_mng.go(1)
end
end,
draw=function()
cls(1)
end
})
end
function _init()
--create scenes
create_scenes()
scn_mng.go(1)
end
function _update()
scn_mng.update()
end
function _draw()
cls()
scn_mng.draw()
print('running scene '..scn_mng.r, 0, 0, 7)

I am interested in the future making a game (not even sure if it would be in Unity, Game Maker, Godot, or something else) and having some dusty arcade cabinet that you find - and it has a Pico-8 arcade game on it!
I am wondering how feasible it is for the Pico-8 game to be embedded and how well the game canvas could be moved around and positioned, incorporated into the game, to look like it's in a cabinet, etc., or if it's even possible at all.
its gonna be a race
update:I added more sattelites and a cow (very productive I know).
Still thinking about the gameplay, I think I am going to make them be able to bump into eachother and collide with astroids and maybe sattelites aswell. and when they eventually get to the moon. maybe do a moonlander mini-game or something.
