Hey!
I've been considering using the generic pause menu along with a few added menuitem() entries to save some space. I'm not crazy about the entry to close the menu being labeled "Continue," when I've got a custom item just below it labeled "Load Last Save," (specifically on my title screen and my player death screen.
Is there a way to change the language of the default pause menu items, or even hide that "Continue" entry altogether in this use case?
Thanks!

Still the same shmup but the auto-fire has been added : keep your finger on the button.

Hi there. I made a few tweetcarts recently and thought a PICO♪HERO in 280 bytes would be sweet, so here it is.
As you can hear, it's the first time I play with sfx :\
The game features 60 uniques "tunes".
Press the arrows keys to the beat until the end of your tune.
You can see your score at the top of the screen.
Followed by the title of the game and the number of the tune,
Then the music pattern.
Hope you like it,

Summer Slow Jams 2018 – June
Minigames: The World is Alive
A twist on the classic sliding 15-tile puzzle!
Use UP, DOWN, LEFT, and RIGHT, to slide the tiles. Hold ( X ) or ( O ) and press UP or DOWN to flip tiles diagonally.
There's a couple secret minigames hidden, so please look for them!
Wildlife TV was created by a two team pair for the Summer Slow Jams put on by PIGSquad. We will continue to work on this beyond the game jam as not all of our ideas were realized in time for the deadline.

Hey everyone!
I'm a highschooler who loves making things, and am starting a club at my school to teach how to code and build things.
I thought pico8 would be a great starting point - and so I went ahead and wrote a tutorial for a super simple game in pico8 that my friends would be comfortable starting out with. It's not too long - 20 lines of code, and fits in a tweet! I introduce audio and maps too.
Here's what the tutorial looks like - https://www.notion.so/jajoosam/Maze-c06d7ac6968a4402abc0115430a2b6d5
Let me know what you think :)

My computer recently died and I lost a substantial amount of work on this game. I may return to this at some point, but it's unlikely.
I'm gonna have to change up how the gun works to preserve framerate, but that's okay.
The basic bones of the game are here. It needs more to be fun, but we're off to a decent start, I think.

I've seen a lot of threads where people talk about using mini JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) parsers, but there are always caveats about the differences betwen JS and Lua.
I've prototyped a little parser for what I call LTN (Lua Table Notation, pronounced "loot'n"), which effectively gives you the ability to specify a Lua table's contents, in Lua source format, inside a string. For instance, if you had this:
player=
{
name="lone wanderer",
desc="alone.\nwandering.\n",
x=123,
y=456,
attrs=
{
str=5,per=3,edr=5,chr=3,int=4,agi=3,lck=4,
hp=100,mp=20
}
}
|
You could swap out the outer curlies for Lua's multi-line string braces ("[[ ... ]]") and add a call to my parser, omitting the parens since it's a single string param and Lua lets you do that:
player=ltn
[[
name="lone wanderer",
desc="alone.\nwandering.\n",
x=123,
y=456,
attrs=
{
str=5,per=3,edr=5,chr=3,int=4,agi=3,lck=4,
hp=100,mp=20
}
]]

Move: Arrow Keys
Shoot: X Button
My first game. Inspired by asteroids.
Really enjoyed making it and great learning experience.
Not too hard to win, but if you feel the need to cheat give it the old' Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right...

BITTER is a platform action/adventure game. One button jumps and the other button shoots. I have done something I cannot undo. Make your way through the dungeon, defeat enemies, defeat friends, and obtain your goal. I cannot decide your goals for you.
Some things in life are difficult. Some things are not worth the difficulty. Some things are. I can't tell them apart.
Thank you for playing!

I'm attempting to write my first Pico 8 game, and I want to have a system of laying down bombs to damage enemies. Has anyone attempted this before? If so, how did they do it?
Thanks

Your grandchildren are visiting you at the old folk's home. Relive and pass on your best memories.
Watch the video if you are on mobile: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCfaYTJFmZI
For the #48secret jam themes: dying + time, completed in 12 hours in Pico-8, including all music and art.
Had fun doing 3 quick game vignettes and cramming the sprite sheet full this time. Barely scraped together room for the logo at the end...

This is my entry for Alakajam #3
> alakajam page
--- GOAL ---
- Your goal is to spread your virus among the different species
- At the end of the game the player with the most virus win the game
- In solo you have to cover 100% of the screen with a minimum number of turns
--- HOW TO INFECT ---
- Select <z> one of your target in the bottom line
- If there's no creature of this shape or color around your virus, you can infect any creature of this type
- When the game start you have no virus so you have to infect a new creature
- Infect is good way to explore new area but it's slow, you can infect only one creature each turn
--- HOW TO SPREAD ---
- Select <z> one of your target in the bottom line
- If you select a creature shape or color that is near your virus you can propagate your virus among many creatures at once.
--- HOW TO REGENERATE ---
- Each spread or infect action spend your target
- If you need more targets select the draw option at the end of the bottom line.
- You can draw up to 6x options at the cost of one turn.

I was playing with some 3D rendering stuff and ended up making a tennis game.
Play against AI or with up to 4 players.
Z to hit the ball. To hit the ball in different directions you need to hit it when it's off to your side. So the further to your right the ball is when you hit it the more it will go left.
X to do a power shot. Whenever you return the ball during a rally you will build up power. You can do a power shot anytime you have power in your meter, but the more it builds up the faster your shot will be.
UPDATE 1.2
- As per Felice's comment I changed the display when a point is scored to make it easier to understand. It will now display PLAYER 1 POINT in blue. There's is also a message above that in orange for things like OUT or FAULT etc.

Title is pretty self-explanatory. I'm very audio-driven, but I'm not good at producing audio.
So, I'm hoping to find someone like-minded to collab a small pico-8 project with.
Basically I want to form a game around the music, because that's how my mind likes to do things.
I can listen to the track(s) over and over and form in my head how the game should play out.
I'm very open to all sorts of styles and all levels of professionalism, even if you don't feel your music is that great, if it's got soul and it's better than what I could do, there could be hope!
If anyone out there is interested, let me know here!
