Loose Ties is a turn-based tactical game about deducing out who is at the party. Move through the house, chat to the guests, and dance to get a little extra attention. Deduce the personality of each guest by observing how they behave before the vibes turn sour! Can your social battery hold out for 4 wild nights?
Loose Ties was developed for the 2026 7 Day Roguelike Challenge.
Credits
The character sprites are adapted from Loren Schmidt's phospher art pack. There's so much character in here, check it out!
Shout Outs
I wanted to include some shoutouts for projects that I drew inspiration from while making Loose Ties!

The year is 2115. The Koh-i-Noor diamond collects dust in the Tower of London, starry, stolen vestige of the rapacious British Empire. We are taking it back.
Lion's Diamond is a stealth game where the plan counts for as much the execution.
Background
This is a PICO-8 game made between 26th Jan 2026 and 16th Feb 2026.
FAQ
Q: I'm pressing the "echo" button, what am I looking at?
A: Lion's Diamond is set in a tower made of many floors. The echo ability shows you a slice of the floor below you using echo-location. This is useful for making a plan before you enter the floor!
Q: Ok, I've got "echo" figured out, but what does "drill" do?

The kingdom is desperate.
Drunk on their fame, our plumbers refuse to work.
The waterworks are on the brink of collapse.
Only one person can save us...
THE OTHER PLUMBER
Background
Inspired by the release of CorgiSpace and SEBI16, I wanted to try out PICO-8. Here is the result! My first PICO-8 game, made between January 18th-22nd of 2026. Thank you for playing, I would love to hear your thoughts!
Dev Log
I discuss the game and puzzle design of The Other Plumber here!
Hints
Below are a series of hints for each level, each one should give slightly more away than the last.
The final hint will give the solution to the puzzle. The solutions are given as a sequence of coordinates which pipes should be dropped from (if its a corner spot then a direction to drop will also be included). So 3x0 means drop a pipe from the middle column of the top row, 0x3 means drop a pipe from the middle row of the left column, 5x6 means drop a pipe from the 5th column of the bottom row, and 6x6up means drop a pipe upwards from the bottom right corner.
