I made this for the PICO-1K Jam 2026! It was a blast. The whole code takes up 1023 compressed bytes out of the 1024 allowed. The game uses Pico-8's text functionalities in lieu of sprites and sfx. The snake's head is the yen symbol, '\26' in Pico-8.

Help a bee colony make some honey! 🐝🍯
Place pieces of honeycomb to help the worker bees do their job! Some pieces will come with more bees, and some will come with a hole in the hive for the bees to go through and find some nectar! After bringing it back, the nectar will take one more turn to ferment into honey, and if no more nectar is brought home, then the honey will be cleared, freeing some space in the hive!
Controls:
- Z/C/(O): rotate left
- X/V/(X): rotate right
- left/right: move horizontally (and down a little bit)
- down: move down faster
- up: hard drop
About:
This is small falling block game I made in 36 hours for the DTJ36 #28! The theme was "bee" and I loved it.

Explore a forgotten temple and retrieve the warping gem of the Soulbound.
Story:
As the more action-inclined of the famous archeologists Hilford brothers, you, Wellington Hilford, must get into the temple, find the legendary soul gem known for its power to bend space, and bring it back to your brother and business-partner Clarence. Can you do it?
Controls:
• Left/Right: move around
• Z/C/(O): jump
• X/V/(X): slash / action
• Down: drop object
About:
This is a rework of @benjamin_soule's LD47 game Soulbound! Ben felt that he failed to achieve the central mechanic's potential with his game, and we decided I would give it a try. The result is Soulbound Re-Cursed! A ~1h adventure puzzle game filled with treasures, puzzles and snakes!

Explore a piece of land and try to get close to its birds! A game inspired by my actual bird-fascinated cat, Pico!
This is an open-world puzzle-vania I made for @adamatomic's _update() jam! (check out Jackpot of Skulls and Frogwell too!) Adam provided us a cart with a pre-made _draw() function and a spritesheet tab, and that's basically all we could use to display things on screen, leaving us to steer the drawing logic from the _update() function! It was super fun to make something with it! Thanks Adam!!
In Bird Watcher, you gotta find ways to approach birds to get a good look at them. That might mean getting some obstacles out of the way, riding boats through water, and maybe getting the birds to show themselves or even hatch first!

Organize medical ingredients and complete recipes to heal some friends in mini pharma!
This is a small arcade puzzler I made in 9 days for the Falling Block Jam 2025! The optional theme was "Analog Memory", and this is why the people you help will give you beads as tokens of appreciation for your performance!
Ingredients come continuously from the top of the screen and you have to organize them to fill in recipes at the bottom of the screen. Completing the recipes continuously (no more than 2 gravity steps between ingredients) will get you better quality beads as thanks!

vvv Ludum Dare jam version here! vvv
(for anyone rating LD games!)
Description:
You are the Wax Whisperer. Your powers may well be unmatched, but some of your enemies are still out there… Not for much longer though, not with what your are about to unleash.
Burn continuous lines of candles to score points! The longer the fire survives the more points it brings you, and the closer it brings you to unfathomable power from this mysterious temple you’ve found your way to!

There is a Deluxe version of this game up on itch.io, which includes a Desktop Pet and a few wallpapers, for just 5$!
Explore an archipelago, encounter fellow explorers, and seduce and haggle with them to help you complete your map!
There is no time constraint, no danger, there's no gameover. Instead, this game proposes a calming experience of exploration and encounters. You can just stop playing when you feel satisfied. A play session will usually last 15 to 30 minutes.
Controls:[i]
- arrows to move around
- [o]/z to confirm dialogue options
- [x]/x to look at your map

Hi everyone!
So with the new tline function in Pico-8 0.2.0, it seems pretty obvious to start making mapped quadrilaterals and triangles, so I did just that.
Both functions are independant from each other (i.e. can be used separately) and can be taken from the code here and used in any other project, with or without attribution. (I do appreciate it though! :))
The two functions are:
tquad(xa, ya, xb, yb, xc, yc, xd, yd, mx, my, w, h) mx and my are map coordinates (in tiles), and w and h are width and height in tiles. (so w=1 h=1 means drawing one whole tile) xa, ya, xb, yb, xc, yc, xd, yd are the screen coordinated for the corners of the quad to be drawn.

I made this in ~3 hours for Nordic Game Jam 2019!
The theme was "that again", so I just went with symmetry and made a screensaver.
And here it is now, enjoy!

My goal was to make something meaningful because that's the direction I want my work to take in the future. The result is very experimental, super short and quite imperfect. But I do like it, and I hope you do too! :)
Controls:
- Use the arrow keys on a keyboard or the left joystick on a controller to move the selected hand.
- Move it to the highlighted spot on the screen.
- Embrace whatever is in front of you.

Grab a friend/family-member/stranger, two controllers and it's time to play Just Hit The Ball!
A very simple 2D volley game, kindof!
Finished in time for the last end-of-the-year celebration! (except for the third of the planet that's already in 2018, oops)
I got my grandma to play it, which was unexpected, so I can assert that this game is For The Whole Family!

Hi! This game contains flashy graphics and if you happen to have photosensitive epilepsy I would recommend not playing this game, sorry! :X
Walking through the forest feels great! But sometimes you get a little hungry... You're in luck though, because the forest is here for you in... Mushroom Délicieux!
The only controls are the arrow keys!

This is my latest Pico-8 voxel tech demo! It has a completely homemade voxel engine which you can totally borrow if you want to!
Also, you can (and should) read about the tech side of this project in this terribly long walkthrough!
And I do weekly Pico-8 tech write-ups on that blog now, so bookmark it or something! ;D

Animate tiny 8x8 people and things in Tiny Animator! (comes with Pico-8 sprites exporter)
(it should work ok here on the BBS but prefer downloading the cart and loading it in Pico-8, it'll work better)
With this tool you can create your own animations, using the base humanoid model or your own (instructions further below), put an imported skin on it and export the generated sprites, either to a png or to your clipboard as formatted sprites that you can directly paste into your Pico-8 sprite-sheet. And you can also save and load your animations using the clipboard!
EDIT: it seems, the use of the clipboard on the BBS is pretty buggy so if you wanna use the saving, importing and exporting features, please download the cart (right click on "cart" in bottom-left corner of the player and "save link as...").
