Once up on a time there was a coffee lover.
This coffee loving blob is out of coffee and the factory seems to be down.
No one else seems willing to fix it so it is up to you to restore it.
After all, coffee is the fuel for the people.

Slice, swing, shoot and dash your way to victory
Monsters have stolen souls from your land and it is up to you to get them back.
As a dodgy armless creature that uses weapons as substitute to arms, it should not be that difficult, right?

Introduction
In Dice Mice, players take the role as a posh mouse fighting through trash monsters that have taken over your land. In your disposal you have five dice that can be used for attacking the monsters five different cores.
Defeat monsters by attacking their heart core, but just focusing on that core won’t do you any good, you have to take into account the attack and defence core as well. If you are feeling adventurous during a fight then try to go for a quintuple for an instant victory!
Just know that if things get tough there is always the flee core; run from the battle and try a new one! Maybe the next encounter will be in your favor? Or if you are in a real pinch, try to build on the bandage core to heal during battle!
After each defeated monster you earn loot, you will need it to defeat your nemesis!
May the odds be ever in your favor!

The goal of the game is to have as many bullets active without getting destroyed.
Each level gives you one more bullet to handle.
To help you stay alive for longer, the tank is equipped with a shield, but after you use it you have to recharge it by moving and have bullets active!

Introduction
Stretched City is a tiny room editor for PICO-8 games.
It can be used for other programs as well, but then you have to parse the string yourself.
The tool works in the web, but for a more smoother experience I would recommend you to use it in PICO-8.
A room is 16x16 in tile-size. It goes from row to row writing down the id of that tile. 0 represent an empty tile.
So if you want to use this in another program it should not be that difficult to parse the string.
To load your string into the map in PICO-8 use this method:
function load_room(room_str)
local room=split(room_str)
local m_x=0
local m_y=0
for i=1,#room do
mset(m_x,m_y,room[i])
if m_x < 15 then
m_x+=1
else
m_x=0
m_y+=1
end
end
end |
Controls
Move cursor
Keyboard: Arrow keys | Controller: D-pad or Joystick
Add tile

Stand still for a while on a tile you want to copy
Press P to open the pause menu where you can Save/load and Delete current room.
Have fun and hopefully this can be used in some ways when you need a lot of levels in your PICO-8 game!

Introduction
In FIGHTY LONG LEGS, players take on the role of small blobs that wants to be the champion of stretching. To do that they need to knock each other out from the arena. The more damage you have taken, the easier is for you to be knocked out so be careful. Also attacking too much will send you into a fatigue state were you can't attack anymore so keep in track of your stamina is crucial to win. When no hearts are left one victor will emerge!
To make this more interesting powerups will spawn during the match. I won't spoil what happens when you pick them up though!
You can play this game both by yourself or with a friend/nemesis.

Introduction
In Cards with Personalities, players take on the role of a humble hero trying to assemble a team of great personalities to defeat the weird bosses that roam the lands. Each turn, you will play cards from your hand to gain Gold, Attack or other effects (like converting monsters to your side). You can spend Gold to acquire new cards from your deck.

Controls
Move cursor
Keyboard: Arrow keys | Controller: D-pad or Joystick
Action button
Keyboard: Z | Controller: A / Y
Secondary button
Keyboard: X | Controller: B / X
(All actions that you can take are indicated at the bottom screen)
Rules
Every turn starts by you drawing five cards from your deck. Your deck always starts with the same ten cards, seven mediocre bards and the three common guards. In order to win you will need to buy and defeat cards in the middle lane to build a better deck. To do that, first draw from your deck by pressing the action button, then select which card you want to play and again presss the action button. After that, select the monster or minion you want to slay / buy. If you want read more about the cards, press the secondary button on them at any time.
Cards
There are three types of cards:
Minions
Cost Gold to buy and are indicated by the color of light blue (or brown for common cards). When bought, they are put in the graveyard and will be shuffled in the deck when there are no cards left to draw from your deck. The effects of the minions are activated when they are played.
Monsters
Cost Attack to slay and are indicated by the color of dark purple. Monsters in the lane attack every turn for one damage so keep that in mind. The effects are played out when slaying them. After doing its effects the monster is removed from play.
Bosses
Each boss has different effects. They will only attack when their criteria are met. The criteria are always depending how many turns a player have taken. When the number of turns corresponds to the criteria, the boss will attack and the turns will reset to zero. Bosses will also boost up their attack, they also follow a similar pattern to the criteria. Every turn end the boss will add one point to the boost, when all the dots are filled up the boss attack will increase and the dots wil reset to zero.
One really important thing to keep in mind is to remember to attack the boss, this will attack the boss with your remaining Attack so if you plan to slay monsters do that first. An option exist in the pause menu to auto attack on turn end.
End turn
If you have no cards left to play and you have done everything you planned this turn, press the action button on your deck and the turn will end. Three things will always be checked. First all your resources will reset (excluding block that will reset last). Then if monsters exist in the lane they will attack. And lastly if the criteria of the boss are met, it too will attack. Then five new cards can be drawn again and a new turn starts.
Game end
Each game will have you trying to reduce the current boss health to zero. If you manage that you will be rewarded with lots of XP to unlock more bosses and backgrounds. If the boss manages to reduce your health to zero the game ends as well, only rewarding you XP for how much health you managed to reduce from the boss.

Zelda + Wario-Ware + Golf = Legend of Hippo
This is one of my most ambitious PICO-8 game yet!
You control a small hippo that have an ability to transform into a ball with three different forms.
To win a level you have to follow the rules, they are always visible in top center of the screen.
Much like Wario-Ware the time is always ticking so you have to be quick!
Controls
Move: Arrow keys
Dash: Hold Z and release, the longer you hold the faster the speed

Update 1.1
This patch mostly focusing on making it more easy to prepare for a level. This should make remix less frustrating. Also some small polish on levels and graphics.
- Shows instructions for longer time to prepare for the current level
- Can change ability during instruction splash
- You and enemies are visible during switching of levels
- Remember what level you are on when you go back to menu
- Added animated flames

FORMS
1: Push
Pushes enemies away, if an enemy is hit and collides with a wall with enough speed, it dies.
2: Jump
You are invincible and go through most of the objects. Cannot kill though.
3: Bomb
You transform into a bomb, after some time it explodes, destroying enemies and most objects.
Good luck and have fun!

Some small tips
-
You always take one step, then all enemies takes their coresponding steps. Making a move does not count as a step, so use this to you advantage!
-
Keys open doors, however this is not the only way to go to next level, bombs works great!
-
Green potions gives you a random power to use so grab them if you can!
-
Crabs only takes one step so I would recommend to not use any weapons to destroy them.
-
The red mouth traps can hurt both you and enemies so be careful!
-
Snakes moves like towers in chess!
- Towers only shoot if there are enemies on the level!
Stay awesome!

This is not normal arkanoid, this is HYPER ARKANOID
This was a mini-project just for this weekend! Wanted to make a game with no sprites or map usage. I also wanted to use simple PCG to generate endless amounts of levels!
Added some rules to Arkanoid make it faster. At any time you can add a ball, but doing so at the expense of your Hp. Each broken brick generate ammo for you to use, so shooting will be your secondary weapon to destroy bricks.
Have fun and stay awesome!

- Arrow keys to move
