SCAN-IT
The Retail Experience
Scan-it is a fast paced retail simulator! Deal with the most difficult customers while scanning their groceries at an ever increasing rate! Scan the barcodes of candy bars, pop cans, cereal boxes and more! Remember, at this store "We don't scan? You don't pay!". So you better keep scanning if you want to come to work again tomorrow!
The Backstory
This game was made for the "My First Game Jam: Summer 2021" hosted on itch.io. Although it isn't my first game (it's the second game...) it was my first Game Jam! Please feel free to let me know what your thoughts are on the game! Any feedback on the art, music and/or code is also welcome. I enjoyed being part of the Jam and learnt way more than I was expecting!
Controls
X - fire/ enter influence mode/ enter lift/ connect to terminal
O - back button when connected to a terminal.
Story
It is the year 2521 and a cyber attack against the underground cities has caused all robots to malfunction.
You control a prototype influence device armed with a low-powered laser and capable of taking control of these robots. Your task is to clear the 8 city levels of all rogue robots.
Hold X to enter influence mode and run into another unit to pair with it. This is achieved by fighting for control of the robot's cpu. Failure to do so will result in your own circuitry burning out.
Use lifts to move between city levels and use terminals to access the central database. Power coils are positioned at various points allowing you to recharge.
Be careful of robots with short range 'disruptors' and use the terminals to view robot classes that are immune to disruptor damage.
How To Play
The objective of the game is to clear all 8 city levels of robots.
Here's a YouTube video playthrough, almost to the end.

I was playing around in the sound editor again, playing with the new filters, and found a pretty cool distorted guitar sound. So naturally, the metal soon followed.
The songs in order are Judas Priest - Painkiller, Slayer - Angel of Death, Megadeth - Holy Wars... The Punishment Due, Alice In Chains - Them Bones, Entombed - Left Hand Path, Metallica - Battery

I've been on a bit of a trip these past few days trying to understand how to use PICO-8 on the Raspberry Pi. I've been quite successful in most regards of setting everything up, custom Emulation Station theming and properly booting .PNG cartridges from ES directly into PICO-8.
What has been its own specific issue, however, is trying to get both cartridges and .sh files to work with the Raspberry Pi version of PICO-8. The "best" options currently seems to be to make a whole extra .sh file for each individual game, or to make a custom extra overhead script that would verify if the selected option was either a .sh file (or any arbitrary file extension that isn't a .p8 or .PNG), in which case boot SPLORE, or when it is a .p8 or .PNG, run those. This shouldn't be the hardest thing in the world, but it seems that way to me since the Raspberry Pi doesn't like to hand over the original file's extension to any script I've tried so far. If this does turn out a succes I'll for sure post an update on this idea.

Hi
I used the code:

now I would like the inscription (text) to appear after let's say 5 seconds
Anyone know the answer?

I just started making my first small game in Pico-8, and the only complaint I have is that I cannot scroll horizontally in the code editor with my trackpad. Has this feature ever been under consideration? (And is the forum the right place to request it? In a search I saw someone else post a feature request here.)


You are a parent who is dreaming of spending a fun evening without kids.
After a long day, your child refuses to sleep.
Navigate throughout the house, find your child and pick up bonuses along the way.
These bonuses will come together as you move along.
At the end of the game, you will win the opportunity to see the poem unraveling in its entirety.
I'm working on this little demake of Lumines. I spend a lot of time playing small pico-8 games to kill the time and this seems that it could be a good addition to the library. I'm still trying to figure everything out, it's not close to done, but if it interests anyone I could use some tips (I'm a dev but not for games so some things just go right over my head).

Hello there,
Krystman made an excellent Game called Porklike, you can find it here: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=94445
I made a mod to this game which adds a german translation to it. Right after the Game starts, you'll be asked on which language you want to play.
I would've liked to add some more Functionality (like, a menuitem), but there wasn't enough tokens left to do so^^.
Here's the Mod:
