A simple shooter I'm working on. There are only two kinds of enemies and no upgrades, but it has a few ideas I wanted to try out. There's also no sound or music yet.
Controls:
Arrows move, button 1 shoots
Thanks to Ivoah for his 3D cube demo from picozine #2 (used for the wireframe projection and rotation).
The enemy sequences can easily be edited in the map editor. Each column is an event with the following values in the rows:
- Trigger (skull is all enemies dead, numbers are seconds since last event)
- Event type (enemy, or wave/game end)
- Enemy count
- Enemy flight path
- Enemy formation
Fazaa means "space" in Persian!

It was a pleasant Sunday morning drive in the mountains until a volcanic eruption happened to ruin everything.
Race home along the winding roads, swerving to avoid the slow and the doomed, just seconds ahead of a molten stream of lava.
Maybe if you can drive through the night and into the next day, you will be safe.
Keep the hammer down to avoid a fiery death, but don't skid out on curves or crash into the other motorists.
Up: Drive
Down: Break

This cartridge is feature complete, though it could use some better sound and, of course, some music.

Hi!
I was making tables recklessly and then i think i hit the ram limit. The thing is that it happen when i run the game, and in the first frame, not even where the tables are defined, and it hangs pico8 entirely almost every time.
So, i have one table less and it works, but if i put that last table item without removing another, that happen when i run the game.
I have a menu that doesn't define this vars, and then i hit a button it enters the gameplay when it defines them. It's my undestanding that this would have to happen when i reached the gameplay and the vars are defined, but pico8 hangs when i hit run.
I verified that is not a bug of the game and i'm almost sure that it is the ram limit, but is weird that it happen before the game reaches the segment when it defines this variables.
I'm not asking for more ram XD but i'm pretty sure that something is broken with the exception handling in case of runtime memory, and i don't entirely undestand why it overflows before reach the execution of the code that fills the content of these tables.
Thanks!

Having a blast writing tunes in Pico-8. I have a few more carts I'd like to share, but I don't want to overwhelm the forum with music-only carts. I'll wait a few weeks, or wait for a music only section.
Thanks for listening!

So this isn't a game, but it is interactive.
Controls: right / left.
Explore, there are a number of things going on. In the interests of not wasting everyone's time, I'll mention that by the time you see the full moon you'll have seen everything interesting, depending on what you consider interesting.
As for techniques involved, the source is a bit of a nightmare. I wrote the code mostly by piling on and re-using odd things here and there. It seemed right for this kind of thing where quirks are part of product. So: if you have questions about the techniques involved and doen't want to read through the code I'll be happy to explain it.
P. S. I would like to acknowledge Parlor's [i]The Stroll

This is my first level. It was a lot of fun when making this game.
I wish to make more games in the future.
