Old version :
A small shooter that I did to discover Pico-8.
It clearly needs a lot of polishing (hitboxes, variety, music), but it's playable...

Here's my generic "Look everyone! I made raindrops!" cart, since the theme is rain.
If it sounds absolutely horrible, don't use the web player. The web player skips frames, which does not bode well when the raindrops themselves are playing the music.
If it still sounds absolutely horrible, I'm sorry for being terrible at music. I will try harder next time.

Non playable but the invaders move and make sounds, and the red spaceship has its "siren" too!

left/right to steer, 'z' to draw in the sail, 'x' to let it out. Finish all the waypoints without running aground!

AIR RAIDERS
The object of the game is to blast enemy aircraft out of the sky... and dodge ground missiles!!! Zero in on enemy planes! Bank left, bank right, dive, climb out! Watch your elevation! Keep track of the fuel! Run out of ammo...land and refuel...take off again!
For Your PICO-8 Video Game System
You should download and play it though, the web player seems to break some minor things.

I need to recover from Bombmans. So, have Snakes and Ladders. The one and only purely skill based board game now for the first time (probably not) in digital form. It's a metaphor for life or something.

Rain with its most stalwart companions, melancholy and misogyny
Figure out the controls yourself I don't even care
You know what don't even play it'd go over your head anyway
Older versions, for those who won't stop living in the past

Press Z to frog. Go do frog stuff.
This is now a complete game and solvable. It'll tell you when it's over.
Puzzle games are meant to have solid mechanics, so unless a frog starts floating, you're probably not actually stuck and it's probably not a bug.

This is just a display issue in the command shell mode, but if you cd to a path that ends in a slash, it works, but the slash becomes an extra slash in the display of the current working directory:
> cd foo/ /foo// > ls directory: /foo// bar ... > cd bar /foo//bar/ > |
Pico-8 0.1.3.

I'm not sure how practical a request this one is, but if Pico's vocabulary of Lua operators were expanded to include nand, nor, xor, and xnor, my life as a golfing programmer would be so much easier. (And if that can be done, could we also get the bitwise functions as regular old | & ^ ~ << >> operators instead?)

Newest version:
How to play:
- move with arrow keys
- drop bombs with z
- collecting powerups increases you bomb count and flame reach
I'll just pronounce this game complete (for now). I pretty much burned myself out making it (and doing nothing else) for a whole week. It was fun though.
Changes in v1.0
- Fixed a graphics glich when starting a game with no players
- Added support for 4 human players
- Added a demo mode that starts after idling for 10 seconds in the menu (makes it easier to show it to people on a phone)
I made a timelapse video of the creation process.
Old stuff:
[hidden]
I have been making this for a full week now with almost every minute of free time I have had (last weekend and after work).
Making the mechanics took only around 6 hours in total, but the AI has been painful to get working properly (hence the excessive debug info) and it's still not quite how I would like. The AI is around 5000 symbols of the current 7777 used (I just noticed :O ) at this point. I haven't optimized or cleaned it up at all. (And now after noticing that 7777 I probably don't want to. :D )
The graphics I overhauled in a couple hours yesterday. It was my first time drawing dithering, I'm quite happy with how it turned out. The title screen definitely could use some work. Also background music would be nice but I'm hopeless in that regard.
I have screen captured the entire creation process as a timelapse and will make some kind of video out of it. It'll probably be mostly boring coding and head scratching but I wanted to give it a try anyway.
EDIT: Aaaand here is the video (EDIT2: now with MUCH better quality)
