Use X to make extra stars and C to see the number of stars on screen.
You can also turn the sounds off if you don't like them (in the menu.)
Totally plagiarism of ummmm_ok. But it was a good way to practice using tables within tables (and I'm pretty sure we used the same tutorial.)

What if there was a mini game boy fantasy console in pico 8? I made this sprite sheet of how it could look with some game ideas. Tell me what you think about it because this is my first post and I'm wondering if anyone thinks it interesting enough for me to try and make. Thank you! :)

Featherstone Ruins is a survival-horror game with gameplay similar to 'Slender', which I slowly built up out of some very basic raycaster code. I mainly made this as a learning exercise, and there's a thousand ways to make it more efficient and effective, but I'm happy to call it done and put what I've learned into practice on the next project!
Story:
Many years ago, a servant at the Featherstone Manor was unjustly tried as a murderer, and executed. His body was cut up, and hung around the surrounding farmland as a grim warning to others.
Since that wrongful execution, no-one at the manor has known peace. Rumours spread that the Featherstone Farm was haunted. The site was abandoned, and soon fell into disrepair. None of the curious souls who have ventured there have returned.

You are a poor humanoid who are trapped in the evil face's fortress.
This giant fortress is made of harzadous electric walls, and The evil face and his guard bots are chasing you.
you must escape this horrible place with a laser pistol. but nobody knows if there's actually an exit...
Controls
D-pad : move
D-pad while holding O or X button : shoot laser pistol.
Option instruction
-
extra life : gives an extra life every time your score exceeds the assigned point.
-
evil face : when evil face is smiling, he will appear in the game and chase you. when frowning, he won't appear in the game.
-
start difficulty : the difficulty level at the start of the game.
-
max difficulty : the highest difficulty level allowed in the game.
- robot AI : In Classic mode, robots always shoot at you ignoring the walls and can collide each other.
in Improved mode, robots don't shoot when there's a wall between them and you and they won't collide each other when there are less than 4 robots.
Special thanks to Alan McNeil for making one of my favorite arcade game - Berzerk.

Pressing H key in the sprite editor flips the sprite horizontally, but also switches the sprite number to hex mode (Switching to hex should be CTRL-H according to documentation)
Seen in: Pico-8 version 0.2.2c (Linux-64)

It seems a lot of line breaks/paragraph breaks are missing from the HTML manual:
https://www.lexaloffle.com/dl/docs/pico-8_manual.html, version v0.2.2c9, seen 29-08-2021.
In many cases where the .TXT version of the manual lists items on separate lines, in the HTML version they are concatenated into a single paragraph. This makes it hard to read.
For example, this section:

Hi everyone!
I made a drum sequencer intended for live use. It has control over 4 channels (kick, snare, hihat, tom) in 32 steps.
Use X to toggle a slot or a setting, use O to change from the grid to the controls. The first control slot is play/pause, slot 2-5 toggle the 4 channels on or off, + and - control the BPM. The BPM is rounded, let me know whether you need accurate BPM.
If anybody has an idea for different drumsounds etc. do let me know but for now- enjoy!

Special thanks to @SepticLemon for the update idea and thanks to @AdamJ for Extended Keyboard Handler (https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=3367)
Hold 'Z' to speed up, hold 'X' to slow down, and hold both for super speed!
Every time the ball hits the wall, its speed increases!

So I just tried putting Pico 8 onto an old Windows XP laptop of mine. Ran fine, but similar to my Raspberry Pi running the bare metal version of PicoPi, it struggles to connect to the BBS even if there's an internet connection to that laptop.
Now here's the thing, could it be because my $15 purchase is only for a single machine that I installed it onto, and that's why I don't get the full features of Pico8 on my other machines? Is it a User Licence thing?
If not, what would prevent my laptop and Raspberry Pi from connecting to the BBS? They do have an internet connection, the Raspberry Pi uses ethernet, whilst my laptop uses Wifi. They can load lists of the latest, featured and updated games, but when I run the cart it just say "Could not connect to BBS."
Ultimately, what I want to know is, am I getting this error just because I'm using multiple machines and therefore using up my user licence? Or is there some technical issue on my Raspberry Pi and Laptop that I need to look into?

You can now hold Z to double your paddle speed!

Finally got around to uploading a game I made for the lowrezjam a few weeks ago! Featuring a procedurally generated world and soundtrack, sailing mechanics, lovers an ocean apart, and birbs.
[up]/[down] — lower/raise sail
[left]/[right] — rudder left/right
[z] — open/close chart
[x] — toggle wind (in chart)
Uses a simplex noise implementation by anthonysavatar, and a modified version of geckojsc's RPG dialogue system.
