All over the kingdom the Lich King is feared
His power and evil is total
Many have tried to destroy him
Many have failed
Will you?
Z (or C or N) to attack, X (or V or M) to jump, arrow keys to move
I made this game for the CGA-jam, so only 4 colours was allowed. It's by far my most polished PICO-8 game, and I think the colour restriction actually helped!
I used @mhughson's excellent Advanced Micro Platformer basecode and extended it to fit my needs. Would definitely recommend having a look if you're making a platformer.
Comments appreciated!

Sometimes when I exit Pico-8 to the raspberry pi 3 desktop, I find that I had been clicking on things underneath and opening folders, other programs, etc.
As a workaround for this, I just have absolutely nothing on my desktop except the toolbar at the very bottom, but I felt I ought to report this in any event.

Hi folks,
I made a desktop file that goes into the applications folder of your pi.
It will place pico-8 in the applications menu on your desktop undo applications and development!
cd /usr/share/raspi-ui-overrides/applications sudo leafpad pico-8.desktop |
File: pico-8.desktop
[Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Version=0.1.10C Name=Pico-8 Comment=PICO-8 is a fantasy console for making, sharing and playing tiny games and other computer programs.

Hey!
I've started working on a personal project to make some interesting visual cartridges and until now I've only been tinkering with rectangles, individual pixels and stuff like that, so I thought I'd give it a try and make some sprite-based visuals. I'm too bad at pixel art sadly :\
I hope this didn't turn out too bad, let me know!
Obviously I'm still a beginner, I haven't even been lurking a lot so I still don't know the best tricks, the cart takes a lot of tokens and it isn't optimized at all but I thought I'd share anyway.

Lots to be done but pleased with my first attempt at platformer physics and collision.
Next to work on will be enemy ai and sword attack collision.

This is a simple demonstration of shader-like iterative code that runs basically CPU bound.
It does a manual flip() and copies colors downwards. Press TAB to see how it's generating the image.

Originally, I wanted to make a Great Gatsby game where you play as Daisy and try to run Myrtle over for my English final, but my teacher didn't like that... Which led me to make a game where you play as Myrtle and try to escape death in the Valley of Ashes. Here it is!

A simple demake of that classic After Dark screensaver as my first PICO-8 project
Controls: none, just chillback & zen

Ran out of tokens, I will call it a day :) It's rather short, but it should be somewhat original and challenging I hope :)
Started this for CGA Jam 2017 but was (as always) too late and spend way more time
I'm most happy with the blood particles and fighting mechanics :P
Includes code from basic platformer kit by mhughson.
Buttons
- Left,Right-Run in direction
- Up - Jump

An odd game about texting.
You can choose when it ends...
How far are you willing to go?
CONTROLS:
Z/C: Look at Phone; Send Message
X: Put Phone Away; Go to Sleep (Hold)
Arrow Keys: Choose Message
(All controls are explained in-game)
WARNINGS:
- This game touches on some darker subjects, which people may be sensitive to.
- This game includes some dialogue which is arguably like cyberbullying.
- This game is about dialogue, so be prepared to read. The script contains nearly 350 individual texts, though there's no way to see each one in a single playthrough.
OTHER NOTES:
This is a companion game to my surreal adventure game NULL.

For example, I searched for "Fish Painter" hoping to find the cart "Fish Painter Deluxe." This cart did not show up in the list of results. Searching for the word "Deluxe" however, worked. "Fish" does not work.
Another example, I searched for "Star Picker-upper." The only search that worked was "Picker." "Star" and "Star Picker-upper" did not work.

Update 0.4: fixed a bug that would cause bad behavior when changing the loop duration.
Update: Added more functions, including critically damped spring and cosine interpolation. Also added the "kaneda" easing function visualization for fun :-). Also removed even more code so its even easier to see how it all works and add your own functions.
PRs welcome!
