A simple racing game, arrow keys to change the car's direction.
The car cannot be stopped, like in Snake, and it explodes even if you slightly brush up against the wall.
You have to do 3 laps without crashing to win, post your times below!
If you find any bugs, then please let me know.
Known issues:

• The number 3 on the lap indicator does not turn green when you finish the race
• You can reverse out of the finish line and go back onto it as long as you have not crossed onto the one-way blocks, and it still counts as a lap

A simple top-down "game" that I made featuring Jelpi, arrow keys to move.
This is the first proper thing I've done with PICO-8 and text-based programming in general, not including my other test thing that I uploaded about a year ago, as that was just a simple "hello world" program.
It took a year to make this as I've only recently started using PICO-8 again, but it was nice to make something with it!
There's definitely a lot of ways this could be improved, like making the code more compact and readable, or stopping the "loading" icon from appearing when you wait at the title screen, so any advice and tips will be greatly appreciated! :)

Turns out that PICO-8 might actually be easier to use than I initially thought.
