Here's my latest creation. The goal is to score points by making closed paths. You lose a life when you try and place a tile where it won't fit with the existing tiles on the board. There's a timer which forces you to place if you haven't when it runs out. Bonus points if you make a closed loop with none of the end cap pieces.
Controls: Arrow to move the cursor, button 1 to place a tile and button 2 to hold.
Let me know what you think. :)

CAUTION: Some areas in this game cause a significant flickering effect.
ABOUT:
NULL is a surreal adventure game. What you see in the end depends on what you can find on the way.
A 100% playthrough can be completed in 10-15 minutes, if you know where everything is.
This is my third full Pico-8 game (not counting stuff from game jams)! I made it over the course of November and December 2017. All assets and code are my own work.
If you want to see more of my stuff, check out my Twitter: @Jusiv_
CONTROLS:
- Arrows: Move
- Z/X/C: Interact
TIPS:
- There are two types of things to find. Each area has exactly one of each.

Music by @GruberMusic, originally found in "Xmas Sorted" by Paul Nicholas
Game is actually a modification of my game "Rey's Scavenger Run"

I noticed this while streaming this week. If you are in another editor and hit Ctrl-Tab, the code tab will still change. For instance, if you're on Code Tab 1, go to the Sprite Editor, hit Ctrl-Tab while in the Sprite Editor, when you come back to the Code Editor, you'll now be in Code Tab 2. Not a huge deal, but definitely not expected.

Nurse'n'Slash
In a world, where exploding Nurses try to kill their patients...
What to do?
Patient Zero tries to resist against the evil exploding Nurses, so he arms himself and starts to fight them.
Why?
This game is the product of the Game Jam we had in the School of Games in Cologne, Germany.
The topic was to create an one screen Pico-8 game, the specific theme of the game was randomly chosen.
WIP History:
Day 1:
Prototyping;
What should we do? Any Ideas?
Both:"Dafuq is that topic?!"

Version: 0.1.11f
Steps to reproduce:
- Start a new PICO-8 instance
- Press escape
- Using only the mouse, open the SFX editor, navigate to SFX 01 and switch to tracker mode
- Using the keyboard, enter two notes and don't click any note position using the mouse
- Hold down shift and select the two notes using the cursor keys
- CTRL-C
Actual result:
- PICO-8 says it copied the SFX
Expected result:
- PICO-8 says it copied the notes
If in step 4 you use the mouse to pick the locations of the notes, it will copy the notes in step 7.

A little quirk I ran into.
Version: 0.1.11f
Steps to reproduce:
- Start a new PICO-8 instance
- In SFX 01, switch to tracker mode and enter a value for the first note
- Set the loop end of SFX 01 to 02
- In SFX 01, enter a value for the third note (or any after that)
Expected result:
- You hear the note you just entered
Actual result:
- You hear the note you just entered plus the first note of the loop. The UI will also highlight the first note as if being played. The additional note being played will change when you change the loop start setting.

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.

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.
