This is not a game, just an animation that looks like a Christmas-themed RGP.

Maybe it will turn into a proper game someday.

Merry Christmas pico people! And a new year full of happiness and accomplishments for you and your family!

Merry holidays and happy advent! The PICO-8 Advent calendar continues, and today's game is Santa Panic!

Santa has lost his personalised wish list! Oh deer! Can you help him choose gifts for each person, and try to create as much joy as possible?

Select which gift you want to go next using the arrow keys. You can release early (once you see a house) with Z - that'll give you a little bit more time to make the next decision.

How much joy can you achieve on Perennial Street? My highscore is 13!

Feature Overview

This is a script that parses String data and converts it into a hash table.

• a single string can initialize many values.
• returns at least an empty table.
• elements can be added space-separated.
• spaces can be replaced with \t.
• newline codes are ignored.
• newline can be replaced with \r.
• {} specifies a table.
• key=val; key{val} specifies the key and value of the table.
• if you enclose an empty string, the element will become nil.
• to initialize with an empty string, use /0/.
• bool values, and hexadecimal strings are automatically normalized.
• the first layer can be initialized with global values by using cat() in _env.

​Try to keep your balloon grounded and don't pop so you don't stop. Definitely not a Flappy Bird clone.

This is a game made for the 243th One Hour Game Jam, the theme of which was "Cactus". I made it in 3 hours. I lagged a little.

Also on itch.io.

Greeting humanoids, this is the first game release from the group of SORCERY. We hope that you enjoy our humble release filled with Christmas cheer and winter shenanigans.

A little program simulating recursion graphically.

Controls

• Y Button to call the function
• X Button to finish ( go back ) a function call.

It is only a simulation. So it should not be possible to go back and forth but I had to stop the calls and thought it would be funny to have some control during the process.

We're decidedly into the snowy part of the year, so here's a little cart to celebrate the winter cheer!
The outside cold you need not fear, for you can decorate a snowman from right here!

X: Rotate/Cycle Colors

Controls

• z - Jump
• x - Restart Puzzle
• Down Arrow - Use
• Left/Right Arrows - Walk left and right

Info

The project started as an experiment for learning Lua (and Pico8 to some extent). I had fun, so, I decided to finish and release it. I hope you like it!

Sorry for the lack of snake casing in the code. I usually use camel casing, but Pico8's editor doesn't support upper case letters :/

Update 1.1:

• X now restarts the puzzle.
• Down arrow is now the use key.
• Hint added on the second puzzle that shows how to restart a level.

Version 1.0:

Experimenting with a simple voxel renderer.
The bike is generated in code!

There's an option in the pause menu (p) to use enable camera controls:

Snowy has skates and wants to help his friend Bunny decorate his tree! Skate the lake to find five ornaments for the tree.

• Hold X and a direction to accelerate.
• Press Z ("O") while moving to jump.

Tip: Hold Z ("O") for longer before letting go to jump longer.

Tip: If you get stuck in water, try jumping your way out. Snowy isn't a strong swimmer, but he's a great jumper!

This is my and TimSwast's contribution to PICO-8 Advent 2019. Thanks to everyone who participated, and everyone who played!
