Simple Shooter Bullet Barrage

by eduszesz

[Click to Play]

This is Simple Shooter

Bullet barrage!

In this short basic shmup (Shoot 'em ups) you will face numerous waves of alien invaders trying to destroy our galaxy. Make them feel the taste of your space bullets and cover them with a barrage of bullets

Game Play

You must shoot down all the aliens. Also, try to collect bonus coins to get special shoots, extra lives, and shields throughout your journey of liberating the galaxy. These power-ups will be very helpful in your task of repealing alien attacks.

Controls

Cursor movement: arrow keys
Fire: Z

Use special shoots: X

Controllers are also supported.

Development

I made this game based in part on the Basic Shmup Tutorial using Pico-8 for the Basic Shmup Showcase Game Jam

The game has 8 procedurally generated levels filled with six types of enemies with different movements and attacks, and the final boss fight.

Update v1.1

Based on the feedback received during the jam period, some modifications were made:

Overheating mechanic was deleted
Pickups are saved during wave transitions
Shields now have an indicator like the special shoots
The artwork of the first enemy was modified to make clear that it is an enemy and not a pickup
Behavior of the green orbiting enemy and the boss was modified to prevent warping during the attack phase
Music was added.

Update v1.2

New shield graphics
Shield killing bonus. In the previous version was possible to kill an enemy using the shield by pushing the enemy off-screen in the x direction, but the player did not receive feedback in this action. Now bonus points are given when such a kill is performed.
Little tweaking in the warp animation between stages.
Now is possible for the player to move the ship in the title screen.

Update v1.3

Now autofire can be enabled using the main menu

Special thanks to:

Krystman for the Basic Shmup Tutorial I used a number of concepts and functions from this tutorial and learned a lot. Thanks for showing us the way of the shmup juiciness!

Gruber for Pico-8 Tunes Vol. 2. I use the songs "Into the Belt", "Flight of Icarus", and "Dimensional Gate" for this project.

My dear friend Fabio Coltro for helping me with the drawing and animation of the boss. I think that working together we got a great boss for this game.

I'd like to thank also TheGacko, Aktane, and the other guys at LazyDevs Discord for playtesting and for the feedback.

Have fun!

This is Letris!

A Tetrislike game.

Letris is my implementation of Tetris using Pico-8.

I tried to do it based on what I remember as a child playing those cheap Chinese Brick Games that had multiple versions of Tetris clones. (Sadly, no Game Boys were easily available in my country when I was young).

I hope you guys have fun with this game as I had when I worked on it.

Controls

Z and X: Rotate the price

Down key: Drop the price fast

Left and Right keys: Left and right movement

The pause menu could be used to toggle the music and to add the up key to rotate the pieces along with Z and X buttons.

Special thanks to:
RobbyDuguay for Nine Songs in Pico-8 (https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?uid=11038). I use the song "Hijinx" for this project.

Krystman for Porklike - Video Tutorial - Making a Roguelike in Pico-8 (https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=33121) I used some functions from this tutorial and learned a lot

This is Bug Defense!

In this tower defense game, you have to ensure that bugs do not destroy your computer. Victory is achieved by fixing bugs.

Game Play

Bugs will move through the conductive tracks in your mainboard. Place your towers along the way to destroy the bugs before they get to the exit. All bugs can cause malfunction to your towers.

Controls

Cursor movement: arrow keys
Select and create towers: Z
Cancel: X

If you had selected one type of tower and need to change to another type, press X to cancel the selection and Z to select the new tower.

Development

I made this game for the Game Off Game Jam: 2021. The theme was BUG

The game has 8 handcrafted levels, five types of enemies, and six types of towers to use to defend your place in the computing world. Initially, I was planning for 16 levels, but I had to cut them in half or I would not finish the game in time. It was my first experience with the tower defense genre. Definitely, it needs more polishing and balancing.

Meet your enemies:

	[8x8]

Beetle: the first contender to show up. Not special, but can cause some damage to your computing tasks.

	[8x8]

Slug: The slowest bug you will face. It is more toxic than any other bug in the menu.

	[8x8]

Centipede: Its multiple legs will disable any booby traps you plant along the way.

	[8x8]

Scorpion: It is like a war tank and will try to destroy any terminals it can find.

	[8x8]

Flies: They fly fast, nothing can slow them down.

What you have in your arsenal:

	[8x8]

Spinning gun: spits bullets when bugs came close. The cheapest one to get.

	[8x8]

Booby trap: When triggered, this lethal explosive takes down almost any bug.

	[8x8]

Laser: Multi aiming high energy gun. It fries bugs like no one can do.

	[8x8]

Sticky trap: Slow down enemies. Flies are not affected.

	[8x8]

Auto turret: Do not waste bullets! This high-tech gun fires directly through the enemies.

	[8x8]

Terminals: They fix bugs for you and give you the ability to buy your defense equipment.

Special thanks to:
RobbyDuguay for Nine Songs in Pico-8 (https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?uid=11038). I use the song "Empire" for this project.

Krystman for Porklike - Video Tutorial - Making a Roguelike in Pico-8 (https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=33121) I used some functions from this tutorial and learned a lot

Have fun!

Update

Correction of the interaction between the enemies and towers.
Bug fixing in level 7: Enemies were not following the correct path.
Correction in the Terminals respawn after game over and game reset.
Added sfx when button X is pressed
Cursor blinking to help to see it on the screen
Selected tower sprite is shown as a preview with the cursor
Fixing the "bug fixed" message appearing partially off-screen when terminals are positioned close to the edges.

This is Pico Harvest!

In this little farming game, you play as a happy farmer in his red tractor. Your crops are ready to be harvest in a maze full of ravens and moles.

Game Play

Scare off the birds using the horn in your tractor. Drive carefully to avoid the holes made by the moles.

Do your harvest before the night falls

Controls

Keyboard:

Movement: arrow keys
Action (horn): Z or X

Controler:

Movement: Dpad/analog stick
Action (horn): 🅾️ or ❎

Development

I made this game for The Great Autumn Game Jam: 2021

The game uses procedural generation to create the level. The maze is created first and templates are used to populate the level with assets.

This is my first game jam. It was really fun to work in Pico-8 with the theme of autumn and harvest season.
