When I put this game on Steam in 2023 I wanted to make it available to the Pico-8 community for free, but I didn't want everybody to be able to play it for free because then who would buy it? The compromise I came to was to make the cartridge available for download, but not upload it to the BBS.

Basil's out sniffing around and scattering dandelions again. Oh look, there's a cave. I wonder what's inside?

I made the original Basil's Adventure in 2016 as a Christmas present for my wife. I had just found out about Pico-8, and I thought it'd be fun to make a simple exploration platformer. She loved it.

Since then I've done a bunch more Pico-8 projects, including two more wintry games intended as greeting cards for my friends. They've all been weird little design experiments, like, Gordy and the Monster Moon is an attempt to do a game that feels like Zelda with none of the usual Zelda interactions (no sword, no bow and arrow, no hookshot, no boomerang, no bombs, etc.),

Look Who's The Shining Two! follows the adventures of Adult Danny Torrance, who has just gotten a job at the Overlook Hotel but is stuck in the haunted hedge maze on his first day. Can you commute to work?!

This game was created for the PiCoSteveMo game jam, with music by kittenm4ster and technical support from pancelor. Thanks to BaseCase for hosting PiCoSteveMo!

Hi, all! I've been making Pico-8 stuff for a while and putting it in various places but I decided to finally start uploading it here and trying to be part of this community.

This is Bouncy's Winter Solstice Ride, another greeting card game I sent to my friends and family over the holidays last year. It's a game about sledding around and delivering presents to all the animals in your village.

This is Maximum Overdrive 2, which I made for PiCoSteveMo, a game jam themed around the works of Stephen King. It's a non-combat roguelike in which you're trying to survive in a future where self-driving taxis have paved the entire planet.

This is Hop's Big Adventure In The Gift Dimension, which I made in 2022 as a Christmas greeting card game for my friends and family. It's a mash-up of Glider and VVVVVV.

This post originally contained all four games I'm uploading but it looks like that's not how you make games available on the BBS, so I'm editing it and creating separate posts for each of them.

This is Basil's Adventure, which I made in 2016 as a Christmas present for my wife. It's a platformer in which you play a dog exploring a cave.
