Claw Grabber
Stranded on a cliff face, you must now reach safety with your trusty claw grabber while avoiding the waves that'll jump up and bring you down! This was a personal project used to learn how to program via PICO-8 and developed as part of Quarterly Made Games HK.

A very simple Sokoban puzzle including just one stage.
There is a simple stage editor.
←→↑↓: move
X: switch to edit mode
O: (in edit mode) change tile

You just couldn't let go of your dream to become some sort of cyberpunk Robin Hood, so you invented a device that connects your brain to the inner world of a high-security safe’s digital lock. Somewhat irritated, the safe suggests you play a game to make up for your intrusion. Lose and be locked in forever, or win to attain unimaginable wealth (to redistribute among those in need of course). Can you crack the cipher?
CIPHER-8 is a brain-twisting game where you push numbers into a grid. Well, numbers or all kinds of manipulatory tricks. Or bombs apparently. Anyways, after all it’s about making the total value of each column match its goal value. However, changing one column affects the others as well. Oh and by the way, bonus points if you manage to plan ahead a few turns to keep your cipher streak going in the process!

Reech the Kobold is trapped behind a brick wall of mahjong tiles. On the other side of the brick wall is a fire-breathing dragon. This Is Fine.
Hey! This is my second PICO-8 game and the first one I felt like releasing. It's a strategy game based loosely on riichi mahjong and comes with a tutorial explaining the gist of how to play it.
This might have marginal appeal to folks who don't already play riichi -- it's a solo version of the game where you can build big hands without being interrupted.
If you're a riichi mahjong fan, here's the rule differences:
- no situational yaku
- no dora
- no fu
- no calls or other players at all
- no open hands

A little test here. Try to run it on GameShell
Followed the tutorial from Dylan Bennett.

Following on from my smash hit Lights Out Cart (hey, someone gave it a star, that counts) I've hacked it together to give you...
MASSIVELY MULTIPLAYER LIGHTS OUT
That's right, you and hundreds of other people around the world can attempt to solve a 16x16 lights out grid. Together!

This is sooooooooo just barely working so please excuse it being terrible!
Let me no here or on twitter ( @twitonatrain ) if anything is terribly wrong.

Hi. The W and S keys are close together and I find I often hit Control-W (quit) by accident when I mean to hit Control-S (save), and therefore lose unsaved work.
Could Pico-8 prompt before quitting if there is unsaved work? Similar to how it prompts to overwrite files when you save or export?

First time posting! I just finished setting up Pico-8 on my Raspberry Pi Zero WH. Took me a long time but I want to pass on my experience incase someone else wants to try this.
I wanted to have a portable console, so I bought the Game Pi 20 (GAMEPI20) case to use as my initial build. (because it was cheap and I am still tinkering with this system).
I chose Retropie because it's an app running on top of Raspbian Lite, and I wanted to keep using this as a functional terminal-based computer when not gaming.
- First off, I flashed the image for Retropie 4.7.1 found here to a 16gb SD card:
https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/GamePi20#Hardware_connection
- Then I followed the hardware instructions here:
https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/GamePi20_Assembly
- I followed the tutorial at this youtube link to get retropie set up with Pico-8, but read my step 4 before you watch it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEECUe_t51o
- The Controller:
4.1 In the video, the creator doesn't make it very clear, but the -SPLORE.sh file should be put in the ROMS folder for the pico-8.

I did a randomized lightning generator. You can turn off the flash in the menu if you're sensitive to it
(it makes me nauseous if I watch for too long)

Finally, my first real PICO-8 game is here!
Use your teleportation abilities to whirl through the rocky wastes in a world that hides its brightest stars deep underground.

Tried out the music editor and using the map with this one. I'm pretty happy with most everything but the movement. Lots more still to learn!

Hit X to start, and X again to engage with a Dreadnaught.
In game,
Up, Down, Left, Right - to navigate the Hyperfighter
X to shoot lazors
Z to drop bombs
This is a 'demake' of the Dreadnaught Factor, as I remember it from the Intellivision days.
The Dreadnaughts are a threat to your home planet Terra, and you need to destroy them before they reach the stargate. If they do, they will destroy the planet (oh noes).
The goal is to destroy the Dreadnaughts by bombing the vents, each Dreadnaught has 16. Once destroyed, you move on to the next Dreadnaught.
Tip: Destroy the engines, to slow down the progress of the Dreadnaughts.
Tip: Destroy the towers to reduce the rate of fire by the Dreadnaughts.

Hey everyone,
I am currently working on my second game, after the first one I did, a simple pong clone with semi-realistic physics. This game is called Cowboy Hardline and features a minimalist art design and cowboys dueling at noon action. You play as a western rogue facing off against a small handful of enemies, each increasing in difficulty.
Progress:
Art 80% (Enemy variations and background anims)
Code 85% (Gotta finish the levels code)
Sound 0% (Doing it last)
Oh and now for two things, extremely necessary flavor text and some screenshots:
Howdy Pardner!
Welcome to a rootin tootin hollarin good time here at the Old West!
We've got one of the finest gunslingers in all of the Wild West here, YOU, to take on the baddies makin a ruckus in the town saloon. Who can draw their six-shooter faster when it comes down to the line. Will it be you? Or will Billy the Goat have the last laugh? Find out in Cowboy Hardline!

I made this to get an idea of how to make an attractive card game in Pico-8. UI needs a lot of work, but the game is there. Might be a few edge cases that break it.
Controls:
Left/Right to change action
X to select action
Hand Signals:
Hit...........Tap cards
Stand.........Wave hand
Double Down...Point w/one finger
Split.........Point w/two fingers
Features:
- 4 standard actions: Hit, Stand, Double Down, and Split
- Actions notated by standard hand signals
- Randomly generated card backs
- Slick card physics
- $1000 starting cash, on the house
- Only a single deck to allow you to practice counting cards!
Upcoming Features:

I saw @zep's tweetcart and wanted to fiddle with it to produce something like the pattern on the bag he showed in the thread. I use Voronoi cells to apply multiple patterns to each image.
Unfortunately, with the limited resolution, our eyes can't pick out patterns unless they are at least half the size of the screen and very regular, so I had to use a limited number of cells with a reduced amount of randomness in each pattern. It sorta works, but it'd be way more effective on a hi-res screen with more cells.
