It's the Pico-8 Advent Calendar for 2018!
This is the main menu for a collaboration organized by Bigaston.
Come back on each day from the 1st to the 25th of December for twenty-five different surprises, each made by a different developer! This menu cartridge will link to all of the games as they are released, though the individual cartridges will also have their own threads.
this is pure awesome - thank you; I truly feel like a child waiting for X-mas again (at the age of 40) - new 8-bit games every day until X-mas!? wow... thanks to everyone involved!
Day 1: "Saint Nick's Dash Away All!" is out now!
Join me over on the main thread for the game if you have any comments, suggestions or want to post a highscore!
Day 2: Happy Challah Days!
This is a light, multi-day adventure game about making challah bread for Hanukkah! It's multi-day, so more parts of the game will unlock as Hanukkah unfolds in the real world. Enjoy! :)
Here's my entry for Day #3, "Winter Golf" - I hope you enjoy it!
(I've been getting reports of browser-crashes in the BBS version. If you're encountering that problem, consider downloading the cart to play it in the editor or running it on itch.io - I haven't seen the crashes happen in either of those.)
Hey there, here's my entry for day #5, Gim'a'gift!
You're Santa and you have to get back th egifts those aliens stole. Shoot them and avoid bullets, get the gifts back and drop them to the houses for extra points!
Commands:
- Arrow keys : move Santa
- Square button : shoot
- Cross button : drop a gift when available
Day 7: Not A Creature Was Stirring (...Except Squeaky Whiskerson and his Marvelous Musical Mice!)
These are all so great. And the cart loading is cool and crazy-looking. Seems like compressed data loaded at specific place? Pico-8 WIZARDRY, I tell ya!
Day 9: Santa Panic! A gift-wrapping arcade game for 1 or 2 players. By dddaaannn (me!) and TimSwast.
Ding ding, it's time for day 10! Bake cakes, make combos, rack up insane points :)
==For The Snowball Golf Game==
Marvelous ! Simply marvelous, and very clever way to increase game play by requiring hole-in-one.
Gift won for doing so is well worth it !

Hit the slopes and clear as many gates you can. Use cards to move and build you deck as you go.
