A lil thing for Pico-1k jam
Type out the source code for the game itself!

I think this one was more fun to make than it is to play. It presented interesting challenges like how the cartridge stores its own code, a or using escape characters.

The Marble Cup is the most prestigious racing competition, and every sixty seconds twelve of the greatest mice come together and compete for the glory, and a chance at the coveted Crimson Crown!

I built a whole physics engine for Momo's Momentum, which I lost motivation on after releasing one level. But I wanted to use the tech to make a marble racing simulation. It's like cocomelon to me.

  • A new race every 60 seconds, generated using the date and time as a seed
  • No gameplay, just watch and have fun :)
  • 12 marble multiball action
  • The winner of each race receives a crown for the next one
  • Use up/down arrow keys for manual camera control
  • Press Z/X to toggle a zoomed-out view and see the whole course!

Happy 8th anniversary to Celeste Classic, here is my celeste-inspired ball physics game:

Cart #momos_momentum_grapple_demo-4 | 2023-08-14 | Code ▽ | Embed ▽ | No License

Momo's Momentum is a ball-physics platformer, where you help Momo the Mouse rescue her Mom from the mischevious Mr. Mobius. Use grapple hooks to build up speed and transfer your momentum to get around over a dozen platforming challenges inside a giant clock!

This is the culmination of working on-and-off for about 20 months, and leaving it be twice in that time frame. (Probably one-third of that has been active development). It's been scope creeped to heck, but I have a clear vision for it finally: I'm working to make six levels of this size (20-30 minutes for a first playthrough), with cutscenes, and bonus minigames. I'm in over my head and right now only have this one level to show for it -- but I'd like to share this level as a preview, because it took so much work to get here and I'm proud of it!!

Xicarus's Xtreme Xventure

You are Captain Xavier Xicarus (xe/xir), a thrill-seeking pilot in a doomed solar system.
In 22 seconds, the Xun will explode, taking all life and all planets you know with it.
In the meantime, though, it's a great chance to do some sick donuts around a dying star.

XXX is an addictive and deterministic score-em-up where you maneuver an agile ship across treacherous environment.

Features

  • Addictive 30-second game loop
  • Refined, skillful gameplay
  • ZERO randomness; deterministic physics
  • Beautiful low-resolution graphics
  • Learn about doomed planets
  • Reach the highest score you can!

Controls

  • Arrow Keys to steer your ship
  • Press X to activate your boost, once every 30 seconds.
  • Press Z to open your Solar Atlas, which lets you view planet orbits, and learn about their composition
  • Press "Enter" for options

Credits

  • Brook.p8 - that's me!
  • Elyon - Lore ideas and support
  • Playtesters, including Kartik, Morgan, Nova, Tamsyn, softmagic
  • Shoutout to trans folks and autistic people everywhere, and especially autistic trans peeps!
  • Made for LowRezJam 2022 (I forgot to post it here oops)
  • Inspired by Outer Wilds

Meet the System

  • Xun
    Remaining lifespan: 22 seconds
    A hot and burning ball of code and plasma, facing imminent collapse
    Our beloved sun at the center of our system
  • Xerth
    Orbital radius: 29,000 pixels
    Its neon sea, which neatly divides the planet in half, creates the perfect habitat for life as we know it
    We call it home <3
  • Devril
    Average temperature: 450°F
    Due to the high heat and an atmosphere rich in oxygen and carbon, this planet is constantly lit aflame
    Possibly supports marshmallow-related life??
  • Keple
    Planet radius: 1200 pixels
    This body's orbit is extremely off-center, passing both closer to and further from the xun than any other planet
    Due to the extreme fluctuations in temperature, and its mossy poles, it does not support life. And if it did, it'd probably be lame anyway. Like moss or something.
  • Bolong
    Orbital eccentricity: 0.42
    Tidally locked with the sun
    Due to its fast movement as it approaches the sun, Bolong's dark side is notable bigger and denser than its sunny side
  • The Cube
    Sides: 6
    ???? What???
    We don't know how it got here
  • Debris Belt
    Number of asteroids: 1.27 million
    That's a lot of rocks
    The ring appears to extend beyond our observable universe

Thanks for playing!

This is not a custom font, but rather a supplement to PICO8's default font!
I was always annoyed with the M and W in a 3x5 font. But, with the new P8SCII features, it's possible to move the cursor with command characters! Therefore, I made a function that replaces all instances of M and W, and replaces them with a 5-width version!

It also changes the I, makes thin punctuation have less whitespace, and changes some other symbols.

Limitations:
-Mostly, issues with P8SCII features! So I think it should work fine with games not using P8SCII
-If you use use both the default font and custom fonts, you have to be conscious of where this is used

What do an excitable asexual pirate, a cultured genderqueer vampire, and a lesbian bird who may be at an important decision point in her life all have in common? They're all your friends, and they're all counting on you to make an absolute banger of a flag for them! In Flags for Friends, you play as a queer artist in a post-scarcity era and make custom pride flags for -- wait for it -- friends!

Design the Perfect Flag!

  • Use a limited toolset to create an awesome flag based on thoughtful prompts provided to you by your friends
  • Or, go rouge, and make whatever the heck you like!
  • Design the perfect flag using only the colors of your favorite pride flag - plus, one extra, customizable color, for that extra bit of flavor

I worked more on my LOWREZJAM entry to expand it into a fully-featured title!

PUSH BLOCKS. FORM SQUARES. OR DIE TRYING!
Pushamo is an arcade push-em-up. You control a character, pushing shapes within a grid to form squares, which clears blocks and earns points. Bigger and more spectacular clears grant you even more points!
Your goal is to reach 4000 points as fast as you can.

The full version is available on itch for $5, all of which goes to support the Autistic Self-Advocacy Network!
The full version has many many more modes, including 2-player coop, all-clear puzzles, and an awesome scenario mode that changes core rules of the game.

Do this as many times as you can in just 30 seconds!
(My best is 8)

Controls: Arrow keys to move the tornado

It's a mini version of another game I;m working on, [GOLFNADO][https://beanborg.itch.io/golfnado]!
