Hi all,

Just reinstalled the pico 8 on my pc but for some reason the console takes 2 minutes to start. I installed it via the installer I got on humble bundle, and even tried the rar version but no difference, any ideas ?

This is a turn based dungeon crawler I've been working on.
I would like to add a story and objective on top of the mechanics in place.

Please tell me what you want for the full game!
But don't be mean about it I'm 11 years old!

Celeste Dark World

A mod of Celeste Classic. The aim was to make all of the levels harder but make them feel distinct, similar to Super Meat Boy's "Dark World" (hence the name) and Celeste's "B-Sides". I made this back in 2019, but just recently made a few adjustments to it.

I am not a coder, so it's pretty bare bones in that department, and the code is almost identical to the original. The rest of the code I borrowed from other Celeste Classic mods. The major differences being the ability to toggle screen shake and strawberries not being collected if the player dies.

Controls:
Z/C - Jump
X/V - Dash
Arrow Keys - Move and dash direction
E - Toggle screen shake

Hi,

Absolutely incredible cross-platform video game creation software!
As soon as I saw it for 1st time I purchased it.
Runs 100% perfectly on my "Manjaro Xfce 64Bit" Linux distro.

Started our 1st game project.
Need help with making source code smaller.
Please look at source code below and suggest changes.

Below source code does the following:
(1) Moves player's spaceship with [arrow] keys on keyboard.
(2) Fires player's laser beam with [z] key on keyboard.

Thank you in advance...

This was mainly a study for me on making interesting-looking water with basic reflection/distortion. I think it turned out fun. Just relax by the pond and watch the ducks.

Help Little Witch as she wanders through the forest gathering ingredients for her magical brews!

This is the first game I've ever made...let me know what you think :)

Hey all!

A while ago I started working on a little platformer with a portal/hole mechanic. The idea was that you could toggle a hole through a level that would let you move through a parallel level and solve puzzles. I was working with a "modern" game engine and getting that to work was a breeze; I started thinking about how to nail that effect on pico-8 about a week ago but didn't begin writing it until last weekend. Turns out by using tline and some help from the pico-8 discord it took a couple of hours. Now I'm working on finishing it and releasing the game by the end of the month.

This is what it currently looks like:

If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them!

It's a one button game. I started with the idea of making a game in which you only had control part of the time and this is where I landed.

It's a game in which you get to play a mermaid that happens to only be able to accelerate upwards out of water. The trick is to use that upward acceleration to control how deep you'll end up going when you descend due to gravity.

Hope you enjoy!

This is the complete, post-jam version of my submission to the 2020 Toy Box Jam

Picomen!

PICOMEN is a classic turned-based strategy RPG flattened into a straight line. Battles are about learning your enemies' weaknesses, carefully organising your team and improvisation. This post-jam version includes three story lines, branching quests, challenging bosses and all new user interface improvements!

There's an element of learning-as-you-go with this one, so listen to "Helpy" and good luck!
