Hi, I'm doc1oo. I have just uploaded the cartridge for the first time! :)
Two weeks ago, I completed my Rogue Lite game "Dungeon Witches" and started distributing it on itch.io.
I've always wanted to post a cartridge to the Cartverse, but it was far beyond the capacity of one cartridge on the pico-8, so I couldn't just upload it.
So, today I made the super minimum version from completed version!
The story demos, all of texts, helpful features and tutorials, and directing are all left out, but data of graphics, sounds, maps, and core of the game is same. Perhaps you will get the experience of confusion that like a naked second-hand NES game without manual.

Current Development
I'm building a relationship between NPCs and area map connections.
These are mainly for the latter 8 areas.
(The "keys" that NPCs have might be easier to understand.)
This game has a combined total of 16 areas.
There are also useful items that will help you move through such a large world.
These items can be found at the end of the first half of the game.
Then, the image below shows the map of the first half of the game.
Reduced map for 8 areas
Most of the maps are over 128*128 cell size.
The aspect ratio varies from area to area and the structure is challenging to explore.
Once you get your "KUWAI", use it! You can look around the entire area.
Actual map display
An animated tile is provided in each area.
These tiles bring about the effect of the wind.
You can use "PERSNIP" to change the wind (flow).

- stat tracking
- speedrun mode
picogolf (currently) contains a single 9 hole course featuring a range of par 3, 4 and 5 holes. There are no settings, nothing gets saved, if you wanna play again, just reload the page.
It actually started out as a simple breakout clone... I'm not really sure what happened but here we are, I've had a great time working on it and I'm quite pleased with myself for actually finishing something for once.
Cheers

Pico-8 occasionally seems to forget to select a new line if you've copied something and then create a new tab. Because there is no line selected, pasting seems to crash it
Most of the time a new line is selected after creating and switching to a tab, but occasionally it doesn't. I was able to reproduce although unsure if there's another step (may have to do with switch tabs or alt tabbing).

An endless dungeon crawler made for LOWREZJAM 2020.
Find the exit to move to the next floor. The dungeons will get larger as you complete floors. Walk into an enemy to attack it. They can also attack you if you go into the space they are moving into. Pots can be broken by walking into them. They can have gold, sneks, bombs, spike traps, or a life up in them.
After each floor a shop will open where you can buy items:
- Life Ups will heal you.
- Damage Ups make your attacks stronger.
- Escape Ropes return you to the entrance of the floor you are on if you die. You can only carry one at a time.

HORDE
a survival deckbuilding game
This game was made for the 8-Bits to Infinity "turn based" game jam and is my first completed pico8 game.
The world as you know has changed. The zombie apocalypse has begun. Will you survive?
This is a solo deck building game. The cards you are dealt won't get you very far. Use the survivors to scavenge for weapons, items, and find other survivors in hopes of fending off the impending zombie horde. You have 20 turns to accumulate as much firepower and support as you can.
Play Action cards to gain an advantage, Survivor cards to scavenge better cards, and Weapon cards to attack the zombie horde.

This is my remake of a long forgotten 68k Mac shareware game of the same name, originally created by Robert Chancellor. I've updated the rules from AD&D to D&D5e and added some extra items.
Aim
You play as Derek Silverhand and are tasked with protecting Darkwood from Torque's approaching hordes.
Survive 10 waves of enemies to win the game!
Darkwood will fall if Derek falls in combat or the advancing hordes destroy the castle!
How to Play
Prepare yourself
Buy equipment like swords and armour from the 4 item shops.
Enter the battlefield
Enter the battlefield and engage with your target

Hi, i'm using here a qwertz keyboard.
The problem with this layout is that the buttons on the bottom left side do not match.
Where the US/UK keyboard layouts have the z, is here an y.
So the actual layout here, is yxcvbn.
I know that c and v are the same as z and x, but it is very uncomfortable to do so.
Especially when playing on the executable, and then trying out the web version.
Can you change or add a setting to the Web Player, so that it respects the keyboard layout of the machine ?
The standalone (exe) version of pico 8 works perfectly, but some carts are web versions only.

Hello!
I thought I would upload this tech demo I've been working on. It is based on the 'Kingdom' series. I am going to hopefully build a game around it but it might take some time. Hope you enjoy!
Use arrow keys to move.

Delve Feedback help
Hi! I was looking back on this project that I wanted to get back to work working on..
But before I do that I wanted to get feedback on what to add,change,etc.
(I allready know somethings like music,horizontaldrill,notcrashingonlvl4,enemies,etc...)
But I wanted feedback regaurdless for things I might miss!
Thanks if you looked at this!
PS:
Asking what people think about my game with 0 ideas thrown at the player is probably not the best idea so here's some topics that I would like help with thanks again :) :
- controls
- titlescreen / options
- map generation issues
- area concepts or misc ideas about gameplay
(some problems I might already know about but please tell me anyways)

Virulent is a turn-based game where you use action points to manage a viral outbreak on earth. The story is that the earth is hit by asteroids carrying a deadly virus, your task is to launch missiles to prevent any more infections, while administering remedies to infected countries and cure them.
Virulent is a remake of an Atari game called "Epidemic!" by Steven Faber (1982). I hope you enjoy playing it.
I dedicate this game to every person who has been separated from their family or loved ones during the tragic corona virus outbreak of 2020. We miss you dearly.

Okay, bear with me, because this is a pretty niche bug and also I can't post the actual code because it's spoilers for a demo I'm putting together.
I have code that basically works like this:
local a,b={},{}
--a loop that populates a,b with 128 nums each
::_::
cls()
--some code that involves nested looping through a,b to draw pixel-by-pixel on the screen
flip()
goto _ |
This is not a super uncommon design pattern for my tweetcarts. One thing I'd intended to do was encode the contents of a,b rather than the code that populates them. So I did, and the performance tanked.
Weird. Maybe there's a performance difference I'm not aware of?
What was odd is that I know a and b are local in both cases, and they take up the same storage as far as I can tell. I started poking around, and I tried this:
local a,b={},{}
--a loop that populates a,b with 128 nums each
local anew, bnew = {...my constants...}, {...my other constants...}

I'm working on my take of the great Lemmings game. Interesting to make a dynamic background based on pixels instead of tiles. Right now most mechanics are working.
To do:
- menu
- levels
- finetuning

Introduction
In Don't tank it!, players take on the role of a tiny tank that likes to shoot around randomly.
The goal of the game is to have as many bullets active without getting destroyed.
Each level gives you one more bullet to handle.
To help you stay alive for longer, the tank is equipped with a shield, but after you use it you have to recharge it by moving and have bullets active!
Controls
Move
Keyboard: Arrow keys
Controller: D-pad or Joystick
Shoot
Keyboard: Z
Controller: A / Y
Shield
Keyboard: X
Controller: B / X
Have fun and good luck! Do not hesitate to leave a comment about anything!

Made this by following (and changing here and there) Dan Lambton-Howard's Pico-8 game tutorial in MagPi magazine issues 83-88. First time i've made a game and was lots of fun. My kids helped out with drawing sprites and some of the sounds so all good fun.
