I just completed my first Pico-8 Game.
Event was a local (online) GameJam-Project (8 hours to create a game from scratch, theme was "Sailing"). Thing is, I've never touched Pico-8 before, nor had I any Lua Experience whatsoever, but I wanted a challenge and (kinda) succeeded; fiddling with the Pico-8 Engine was tons of fun, and I certainly will continue my Pico-8-Endeavours in the future.
The following day I tweaked my code and added fancy stuff, like, a Scoring Objective.

Use [Arrow Keys] to navigate the Ship.
Press [X] and any direction to throw out your fishing rod.
Catch as many Fish as you can without crashing your Ship.

The Moving Fish scores 1 Point, the Stationary Fish 3 Points, but it will disappear after a few seconds, so you gotta be fast. A new Stationary Fish only spawns after you've caught the Moving Fish.

Good Luck!
