PICODEX DUAL - BY ALANXOC3
alanxoc3 welcomes you to the world of pico-8 pokemon... again? thats right, picodex is back with a gen2 sequel. released on the 25th anniversary of pokemon gold and silver and silver!
this is a complete battle simulation game for pokemon gold/silver/crystal/stadium2 (GSC2) somehow crammed into just 32kb. for perspective:
- 152 kb is the size of this game's manual.
- 373 kb is the size of pokemon red/blue.
- 503 kb is the size of pokemon yellow.
- 710 kb is the size of pokemon gold/silver.



Popcorn Beasties is a button masher game. Try to mash the button to keep beasties in the room. Beastie sprites and names are procgened, so don't expect to play the same game twice!
If you're bored, you can switch or move the active beastie too.
The beasties procgen algorithm was originally created without a game a few months ago: https://tilde.zone/@alanxoc3/111673852422942696
This was made for the Trijam #265.
Gamefreakfatty worked with me on the code.
Tigerwolf181 was responsible for the popcorn machine sprite.
And I made the annoying song... Enjoy! (or don't)

A submission to Trijam 226, modded within 3 hours from a game we made 2 years ago. (https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=44877)
The theme was "You gain a little, you lose a little". In this game, every few seconds, you gain a stat and lose a different stat randomly. Controls are arrows & X/Z. X or Z will roll. The character auto-shoots enemies.
This mod/jam took 2 people:
- alanxoc3: code
- thegreatcadet: graphics & music
There are likely many bugs in the game, but whatever. Enjoy :D

I made a non PICO-8 game for Ludum Dare 53, but lucky for you the music was made in PICO-8! Including it on the bbs mainly so it gets added to radico8.
You can play the game for free on itch.io here:

I'm running the latest version (0.2.5e).
Pico8 works fine when you link your own SDL library and change the video driver.... Until you press alt+enter (fullscreen toggle). Pressing that makes pico8 have a segfault under linux:
> SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland /opt/pico8/pico8_dyn zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped) SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland /opt/pico8/pico8_dyn |
Same thing with kmsdrm:
> SDL_VIDEODRIVER=kmsdrm /opt/pico8/pico8_dyn zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped) SDL_VIDEODRIVER=kmsdrm /opt/pico8/pico8_dyn |
But it doesn't happen with the default for linux (x11):
> SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 /opt/pico8/pico8_dyn |

Made for Mini Jam 108. We started a day late and finished a day late. Standard PICO-8 controls. Z is select. X is back. Arrow keys move the selection.
It's can be hard for a lone hermit crab to survive in the wild. Luckily, this hermit has a giant sword! Chose between 9 action cards to defend yourself from predators!
Movement Cards (Green)
- Move - Move one tile in any direction
- Jump - Jump over a tile in any direction
- Charge - Charge in any direction until you hit something
Attack Cards (Red)
- Stab - Point your sword in any direction
- Thrust - Hit the tile in front of your sword, and return to your original position
- Spin - Hit all adjacent tiles




REWOB. Delay the inevitable destruction of animal shaped planets long enough for its inhabitants to escape! Standard PICO-8 controls. X or Z to shoot. UP/DOWN to thrust. LEFT/RIGHT to steer. P/ENTER to open the PICO-8 pause menu and reset your save progress. Wob means your death count, because why not?
Made in 72 hours for ludum dare #50. Polish was added the week after the jam ended based on feedback from people playing the game. If you want to play the original submission, that's here:



A Healthy Dose of Dungeon. Made completely from scratch in 72 hours for ludum dare #49. You don't know how you ended up in a dungeon, but you must escape it with nothing but your bare hands. An experience like this could make anyone's mind unstable!
Standard PICO-8 controls (arrows/z/x). Press x to hit enemies. Press z to dodge roll. Use the arrows to move. Every time you hit an enemy, your attacks do more damage and your character is faster. When you take damage you enter into an angry state in which you are super strong and you cannot get hurt. Your character is also invincible while dodge rolling.
There are 6 different medical conditions the character can be diagnosed with at the end of the game. Here is how to get diagnosed with each one:



A game made in one day for this game jam: https://itch.io/jam/vetelinos-summer-jam-july-2021
You are a ninja agent penguin on a unicycle and must stop ice cream terrorists from doing something horrific.
Arrow keys to move. Z & X to shoot.

You must go deeper down the well to be safe from the dangers of the surface. Little did you know that the well is dangerous too!
This an updated version of my game for ludum dare #48. The theme was "deeper" and my ludum dare submission page is here.
Controls are:
- Arrow keys to move
- Z to jump
- X to shoot
Have fun :).
