Customization Menu
You can have up to 16 styles in action at once. You can see which style you are currently editing at the top of the screen, and there is an "all" toggle to edit every style at once (press ⬅️ when on style 0 to toggle it). The first parameter is the effect that is applied to the slug. Depending on the effect you choose, different selectors will appear, and you can interact with them to try out different styles. You can also randomize the style you are editing and tweak it at will. There are also two global parameters, background color and speed.

I'm happy to upload my PICO-8 animations collection "Bizarroïd" in here!
It is a project that I started more than 1 year ago to get better with PICO-8. As someone who struggles with big and complex projects, I thought making a collection would allow me to see the end of a big thing since its easier to make lots of small animations than to make one big game.
Features
- 40 animations, mostly abstract, but a few are figurative.
- the possibility to randomize the color palette, "to renew your staring experience"
Controls
⬅️➡️ arrows to go through animations
⬆️ arrow to display the settings screen
⬇️ arrow to hide title of current animation
🅾️ button to shuffle the color palette
❎ button to reset the color palette
Conclusion
When I began working on this, I thought I'd continue until I reach the PICO-8 8192 tokens limit. It is now at 8115 tokens and I don't think there are enough to make another animation, so I'm posting it here. After that, I will probably try to make another animation compilation with fewer but better ones.
