Stop the looter collectivists from stealing the ingenious and innovative mind! An shoot-em-round defense game loosely themed after Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged."

Hey there. This is my first attempt at a PICO-8 game. Love the format (I'm an old ZX Spectrum boy so the limitations really call to my heart).
Inspired by the Y character I stumbled upon in the PICO character set, then moving it too quickly across the screen I got the sense this character was in constant panic. So I wanted to add some peril to their panic and ended up with this.
The code isn't great, and the falling through the occasional floor is a bit buggy (I'd love any tweaks to the code make it better).
I had lots of ideas to make the game more complicated, but I kinda like that it's a burst of frustration (and the music is intentionally annoying!).
Let me know what you think. Someone managed to get 31 platforms!!! My personal best is 18 so far :)

Long ago and far away on a distant planet called FLEB, lettuce was the coin of the realm for a race of beings simply calling themselves Flebians.
Lettuce ! With its leafy greens, tender shoots, and mouth watering crunchy taste. Indeed it was the most valuable thing on the planet for its lifegiving properities and in many ways it grew abundantly.
That is until one evil Flebian up and made himself King over all rationing lettuce down to the smallest bits so he could keep all for himself.
This did not set well with the remaining Flebians, but what could they do ? He had hired a whole host of other Flebians with strange and mystical powers. Some able to take a great deal of damage with armored bodies while others could actually shoot Fireballs right out of their mouths !

This is my first game on Pico-8 : La légende de Tiki-Gabou.
The game is in French (I am French), but it has no text other than in the introduction screen and the end screen.
It's an adventure game, with riddles to solve, like buttons to push, stone blocks to push, keys to open doors, this kind of stuff.
I started this project between Christmas and the new year, and finished it today. I gave myself 3 month for the developpement, so objective reach !
I hope you enjoy the game =)

I just noticed that on the exported cartridge files, it says "www.pico-8.com" on the top (the .p8.png images). I tried going to that address, but I get a 406 error. That should probably be fixed somehow...

I made this for a week long game jam between me and a coworker. The theme was "music is a weapon"... I didn't follow the theme very well, but it was fun making this. Fun fact, the character is actually a rotoscoped + minimized version of me.
This game is super stupid, but I hope you enjoy!

It's a long way from finished, but I now have something approximating a playable demo of a 1- to 4-player cart I've been working on.
Here is Star Shield for your... Uh... Enjoyment? Or whatever you want to do with it.
Premise
Defend your base against the stars' relentless assault by activating your left or right shield at the correct moment. Rack up a high score in single player, or be the last base standing in multiplayer!
Stars speed up after several deflections, and new stars appear at high point thresholds. Extra lives are awarded to particularly beleaguered players.
Controls
- LEFT or (o): Activate left shield.
- RIGHT or (x): Activate right shield.
For proper orientation, imagine yourself seated behind your station, looking into the circle.
- Player 1: Red (South)
- Player 2: Blue (North)
- Player 3: Yellow (West)
- Player 4: Green (East)

There's currently no way to get the existing random seed, since srand() doesn't return anything.
Test/demo:
Could it return the existing seed so we can temporarily change to a sub-system's ongoing seed, then restore it? Like this, for instance:
function handle_ai(ai) local old_seed=srand(ai.seed) â‹® (stuff) â‹® srand(old_seed) end |
It's minor, since you can always keep your seeds in shadow values from the outset and manually set them each time, but it'd still be handy.
Thanks! :)

Graph plotter
I've been working on this for a while now
This is my alpha-release of this software. I intend to further develop it so you can have multiple graphs at the same time and also the use of trigonometric graphs.
Enjoy!

Escape from Vandermonde by finding your way through the passages to the teleporter. Avoid the robots that patrol the passages or program them to help you.
There are 14 levels of exploring, puzzle solving and action, all intertwined on the one large map.
Gameplay is introduced within the game. You can choose any level to play at the title screen. However, to beat the game you have to play all the way through from level 1.

You owe money to the wrong people and you only have a few minutes to pay it back. Grab the money bags and drop them at the safe house. Don't get caught. Don't run out of fuel.
Inspired by Getaway!, a crime-themed game designed by Mark Reid and published for Atari 8-bit computers in 1982.

Hello!
I'm trying to make an endless speedrunner game. I have it almost finished but I can't figure out what I should use for the jump power, speed, and gravity.
Mabey if you have made a speedrunner you could help me with this.
Thanks!
