Since I've purchased Pico-8 I've transitioned into a beautiful trans woman, and my nickname that I used to purchase Pico-8 has my deadname in it.

Would it be possible in some way to change it into something different? I'd love for my carts (including the old ones) to not have my deadname slapped on them on the forums & in SPLORE (and yes, I know my old carts that I signed with it, still will have the cursed deadname inside them...)

Also there's the need to rebuy Pico-8 if I make myself a new account, with my truename or something more neutral as my nickname.

So, is it possible to change my forums & SPLORE nickname to get rid of my deadname? I wanted to start using Pico-8 again, because I didn't use it since 2020-ish and there were lots of changes made, libraries released & really nice games since then. I would be very glad if it is possible :) I'd prefer to be LilyUwU2001 starting from now, if possible.

OVERVIEW

Alpha Strike Deluxe is a shoot-em-up in the classic NES style. Shoot your way through 5 levels, destroy everything that moves and save the world from danger. It's a remake of my 2016 game Alpha Strike, now with better code, silky smooth 60FPS and swanky graphical effects!

WHAT WAS CHANGED?

• no more grid! Every object in the game moves smoothly and isn't bound to the grid now!
• separate scores and lives for both players!
• graphical improvements! New sprites for all enemies, some terrain sprites, and swanky graphical effects like trails and explosions! No more 8x8 explosions and tiny spaceship trails!
• balance fixes! The difficulty curve is now smoother and the game is a bit easier (but not too easy!)

V0.31 of the game.

A tiny demake of the PC Atak Marsjanów games (available at atakmarsjanów.cba.pl) that is mostly inspired by the third game, made by one of the original authors.

Run and shoot Martians in this epic 8-stage adventure to kill the Dark Nebulla Twins!
Listen to arrangements of Polish pop music! (coming soon!)
Beat 8 different stages in different environments!
Save the world from Martians!

The cousin that gave me ideas and wrote the plotline for the original games wasn't involved with this, so please treat this as a non-canon Gaiden Game.

Thanks to Benjamin Soule for the original cart.

Music from Surfin' Pico8.

Shoot down paratroopers before they explode your cannon!
Frantic arcade action with increasing difficulty.
Made for the CGA JAM on Itch.io.

Z to shoot left
left arrow to shoot upwards-left
up arrow to shoot up
right arrow to shoot upwards-right
X to shoot right

Inspired by games:

• Paratrooper (Greg Kuperberg, DOS)
• Typing School (some unknown chinese pirates, NES/Educational Computer famiclone)

to clarify - used themes are History Repeats (it's a remake mashup thing of two old games) and Gravity (paratroopers fall from the sky, and dropping them on others plays a big role here)

fun fact: this was supposed to be a typing game but pico doesn't have a keyboard

PLAY ON ITCH.IO:

An arcade-ready remix of Mountains of Demise 2.

Among differences from the original game are:

• intro loops
• Time for an Epic Quest (title theme) replaced with Mountains of Demise 3's title theme
• coin system
• no passwords
• option to disable continues
• service menu

To insert a coin, use the Tab key.
To access the service menu, use the Q key.

“A babe, a stogie, and a bottle of Jack. That's what I need right now.”
Duke mused on his recent defeat of the Rigelatins, his voice raspy even in his thoughts. After single-handedly saving Earth -again- he was ready for a long period of lying the hell down.

“And no more freakin' aliens.”

Just then, a white-hot plasmatic blast punched through the hull of his cruiser. Klaxons flared, warning lights flashed, and static filled his monitors. He flipped on his comm.

“Hey, anybody out there? I got a little probl...” Duke started.
“Mayday! Mayday!” the radio replied. “Los Angeles is under attack! There are aliens everywhere, and they've mutated the LAPD. Is anyone there? We need help!--”. The transmission went silent.

"Great," Duke grumbled as his careening ship missed a skyscraper. "What's the problem with all these aliens attacking Earth anyway? How many alien races have to get their asses kicked?"
Duke slammed his fist into the waiting eject button.

"I guess one more."

So, this is an extensive mod of Star Beast by electricgryphon.
It adds ammo, music, and changes almost everything to be Duke Nukem themed.
What I have to say - just have fun! Because of Pico-8 limits the Doom-style original can't be recreated.
