My first PICO-8 game (and first complete solo dev game) - a bit of a crossover between pong and breakout. Use the arrow keys to rotate the paddles clockwise or counterclockwise, and keep the ball within the play area for as long as you can. Be warned, the longer you can keep the ball contained, the more smaller your paddles get!
This was quite the learning experience for me, and I know there are several things that could be improved. Suggestions and constructive criticism welcome!
*Special thanks to my wife Rebekah, who wrote the original tune featured in the game and provided support as well as her own creative input.

If anyone remembers the playstation classic "Vib Ribbon" I was thinking that was something that could be done in Pico-8 easily enough. Vector stuff is beyond my skill right now but I'm almost certain one of you guys out there could pull it off.

Wow! You are Santa Claus! But... All off your presents were thrown in all of your creation lab! You have to find it! But it's time! You have only one minutes find the most of you can!

DOT crashed his spaceship on a planet he has never heard of before, it is a giant labyrinth. He needs to find his screwdriver, battery and jet-engine so he can rebuild his spaceship and fly home.
The focus of this game is on the connection between the player and dot.

Hello people, we're working on a game jam in school and were supposed to find inspiration from the twitter bot "your next game". Also it's supposed to be an arcade game, so only one screen but you can still get a lot out of it. We decided to go with a survival game about a pirate and stressed out vets who later became zombies in our game.
In "ARRR Cade!" you play as Captain Cade whose ship is being boarded by zombie pirates. Now you are supposed to make it up by yourself while your crew above is throwing barrels and chests for you to climb up.
Early stacking process:
.:UPDATE:.
Made an immense change for the background and gave every asset a bit more depth.

An angular take on the classic Snake.
Steer with left and right arrow keys.
Pause with X.
Each mode gives different modifiers every six seconds.

Welcome! Check out our progress in a 4-day gamejam
Hi, we're one game art student and one programming student trying to make the most awesome top-down, rogue-like in just 4 days. Please consider giving us critique as we're still learning!
The task...
is to create a game in PICO-8 with only one screen using a theme generated by this boi.
We got this:
Let's go.
Day 1
To-Do:
• Find out, what kind of game we want [✔]
• Think about MVP [✔]
• Create main mechanics [✔]
After some time of thinking we decided that our protagonist is supposed to be a painter fighting other art forms (music, theatre, sculpting).
Day 2 & 3
To-Do:
Code main gameplay ...[✔]
• running
• attack
• dash
• ability to kill enemys
• heart & shield pickup
• win & lose condition
• add randomly generated particles to attack
• enemy AI
• wave-system
• combat system (breakout character sprite)
Draw character sprites... [✔]
• main character movement
• main character dash
• enemy movement
• weapon sprites
• background sprites
+ Testing [✔]
• collision problems
• balancing problems
Day 4
To-Do:
create music & sfx ...[✔]
implement missing background sprites & sounds[✔]
present[✔]
DONE!!
...Additional words for those who are interested...
Luckily we had little to no issues while creating this game (except some for aesthetic stuff regarding the particles spawning when attacking), as we both were highly motivated and energetic. Talking now, almost a month later we think we could've done better but all in all we're relatively confident about having made a fun game.
We hope y'all enjoy this little piece of work.
Play the Game!

A simple clicker game!
Rexflix is about a dinosaur who wants to watch every single series.
Your task is it to help him and get more and more watchtime to unlock
a lot of new tvs and shows to watch.
The game is in working progress and the release will be on 21st December 2017.
Updates will follow as well as the first playable version.

I've noticed during the last few days when you click on a contributor's name and go to the Cartridges area that they're blank, as all that shows up on that screen is "About CC Licenses".
Is this happening to anyone else? I'm using Firefox and Windows 10.

2020 Update : Hello there.
After looking at people making stuff with subpixel lines, I challenged myself to improve that old favorite cart of mine to replace most of its drawing with those sleek lines.
I threw away a lot of things, namely the "math library" I used to have. Turns out that most of the CPU was caused by this and a less optimal management of variables and memory. Cutting down the useless code and the slower practices, I could shave off 10k chars, ~45% of CPU and leave enough CPU time to let the front lines be drawn with subpixel rendering and still take less CPU than the original version. Wow.
Leaving the old version and the old post here. See ya soon!
