Shibuya Pixel Art 2020 is accepting submissions until the end of June, and this year there is a new category for 128x128 games! Lexaloffle is sponsoring the game category with a prize (a Picade Cabinet), and by offering a limited number of PICO-8 licenses to participants.
Similar to a game jam, entries should be based on one or more of the following themes: Shibuya, AI, Humanity, Game and/or Landscape. Unlike typical game jams, existing work can be adapted or reused, as long as it did not win a previous contest. You can find previous winning entries for 2018 and 2019.

This is a game about social distancing during the Coronavirus pandemic. It was coded for Ludum Dare 46.
Mainly coded from the experience of being in lockdown in the UK.

What I'm trying to do is make a typewriter script, but when checking to see that the third line has less characters than the dialogue, I keep running into the same odd error. Is this not a string?
-- typewriter
dialogue = {d1={
l1="qwertyuiop",
l2="asdfghjkl",
l3="zxcvbnm"}}
c_text_1 = "."
c_text_2 = "."
c_text_3 = "."
c_dia = 1
function typewriter(string,wait)
if frame > wait and #c_text_3 != #tostr(dialogue[("d"..c_dia)[l3]]) then
sfx(0)
frame = 0
end
end |

Once again using Dylan Bennett's Game Development with PICO-8 as the backbone, I've rolled out a new project based on his "Lander" recipe. Presenting Red Planet Mission:
I've tweaked the sprites, added a start screen (with art!), and managed to put together menu and gameplay themes.
I couldn't figure out how to randomize the star background each time you start up the game, but I'll keep trying.
It's quite exciting to have put all the features of PICO-8 to use in a cart! The next step is to do something using my own code next time.

I sampled PICO-8 for the first time this weekend. Being a rank novice at programming, I have little idea of what I'm doing. Luckily, given the abundance of PICO-8 resources here and elsewhere, I'm learning quickly!
Here is my first attempt at a game: a barely modified version of Cave Diver from Dylan Bennett's Game Development with PICO-8. I give you: Bat Cave!
It leaves a bit to be desired as a "game," but in terms of newbie accomplishments, I'm pretty proud of figuring out how to insert a title screen. That will certainly come in handy later.
Here's to producing better games in the future!

Been putting this together rather rapidly. Not only am I fast running out of tokens with no room for polish, I'm finding the gameplay a bit dull.
The idea is that you can only attack on higher ground. Same for the monsters. This is sort of interesting because it leads to a fair bit of dancing around to find a spot where you can attack. But I'm honestly just back-tracking whenever I meet a monster. Changing the numbers as a result of attacks keeps me and the monsters moving, but not in a way I find interesting.
I tried bigger maps with scrolling, but a grid of numbers trundling along is a great source of motion sickness. This idea seems better suited for a much smaller map. I'd probably make more use of the spells by virtue of accidentally looking at them.
