FLIP OUT, a clone of Voltorb Flip, a minigame from Pokémon HG/SS. It's like a cross between Minesweeper and Picross. Flip tiles to multiply your score, but don't hit a bomb and FLIP OUT. This is my first finished game. Check it out and let me know what you think!

Controls

Use the arrow keys to move the cursor. Press "Z" to flip or flag the selected tile. Press "X" to cycle through actions. The indicator on the right shows what action you have selected ("Flip" or "Flag").

You can also use your mouse to play. Left-click on a tile to flip it. Left-click on the flag buttons on the right side of the screen to flag the selected tile.

As a fun side-project, I created pico-build. With it, you can build multiple lua files into a single PICO-8 cart. Here's a demo gif showing the usage:

There are a bunch of other great tools that do similar things. You should check them out too: p8, picotool, picobu.

The main things that pico-build does differently from the other tools that I've seen are:

  • Formats the separate lua files as tabs within the PICO-8 editor
  • Launch/reload cart in PICO-8 and log printh() output in the terminal

I'm using it now for my own projects. If you try it out, let me know how it goes!
