Pico Garden is a slow-play, low interaction, screen-saver game.
It features a garden that evolves based on Conway's Game of Life.
There is some additional randomness and (minimal) player interaction.
It is a game for dreamers, grinders, slackers and thinkers.
The latest version adds an adaptive, evolving music track.
You do not have to do anything. Your garden will grow by itself.
However, you can occasionally tend your garden if you want to.
If you time this carefully, this will revitalise it so you can enjoy it for longer.
You can use the up and down keys to speed-up and slow-down time.
You can use the left and right keys to change the view.
There's even a fancy plot that shows how well your garden is doing.

A short puzzle game where you mimic animals to take their form.
11 levels + one secret. About half an hour of gameplay.
Progress is saved.
Arrow keys to move
X to restart the level
P to skip levels (not recommended)

Currently working on this mining game - happy to hear some feedback if you play :) Still a lot of work to be done and a lot of ideas in the pipeline.
Just gotta dig out some gems and sell them at the shop / upgrade screen to purchase consumable items and permanent upgrades. Your battery will recharge automatically and you will sell your gems automatically when you surface.
LADDERS and TORCHES are VERY IMPORTANT! Without ladders, you will get stuck. Without torches, you can not see where the gems are.
IF YOU GET STUCK, PRESS ENTER THEN "RESCUE" - this will reset your inventory and bring you to the surface
Currently you can dig down 200 meters. The rocks get harder to drill at 100m and below. More valuable gems are deeper in the mine.

Picoris 2 DX
A modification of @MarkGamed7794's Picoris 2 with some audio changes (I was messing around and happened to reverb the audio and do some other weird effects, and I liked it so I kept it) and an updated title screen. I hope to later on include more modes and an entirely new UI to differentiate the original from the Deluxe modification.

Early wip voroni generator - will probably add settings to customise it while running the cartridge as right now the settings are set in stone.
Changed up title screen a little bit and changed the settings somewhat.

Hey @zep not to bug you too much with bugs I keep finding but in latest version when I put "ノ" in a error msg and tried to copy it to clipboard (On Mac so cmd+c) it failed and just replaced my clipboard with \0 or empty or whatever (correction: kept clipboard the same. did not over write it with a terminal or whatever it's called.),
I assume this isn't supposed to happen? wonder if it's a issue with ノ being utf8 or whatever.
Anyways thanks if you read this, sorry to bug you... for like the 3rd time with bugs

My first PICO-8 game! I've never even used Lua before, but it was a joy. I love how it takes away a lot of time sinks typical in game making. "What palette do I use?" "How do I store the images?" etc. I even enjoyed the built-in text editor for some reason. I will certainly make more carts!
I made the music using all 4 tracks. Now I wonder if this is a mistake? When I play sound effects over it they compete for the channels and it sounds glitchy. How is this usually handled? Use fewer tracks?

Collects all the Magical Coins to save your beloved.
But be careful there are a lot of traps waiting for you.

This took me a while to complete (and technically it isn't the full song) but I wasn't able to finish it because of the pico8 SFX limit. If I knew how to compress audio then I could've made it longer, but that might be an excursion for another day. Anyways, Enjoy!

I noticed that split() splits the table at the first character if you use a separator of more than two characters.
Is it a bug or a specification that split() cannot be used with separators of more than two characters?
foreach(split('123456','45'),print)
--123
--56 (Expect only :6) |
Thank you.

FLASHING LIGHTS WARNING!!
This started as a sketch for a tweetcart that slowly evolved once I realized the potential for emergent behavior. At some point I messed around making music for the visuals since I've never even touched the music side of pico-8, then both the music and visuals started to influence each other.
Each run of the program has unique visuals but you really wouldn't be able to notice.
Hope you enjoy.

I've recently started working on my first game. It currently has no name but it's about balls so for now it'll be referred to as BallGame. Your objective is to dodge balls and survive the longest.
Keep in mind that the game will receive updates very soon and the following features are planned:
- Power-ups
- Actual music
- Changing background based on score

Welcome to Rescue Blob! You're a blob and you have to save your buddy from the evil Oola Aliens.
You need at least 15 coins to survive a death 💀.
Try to collect the 2 existing trophies 🏆.
Update: Working on a new physics engine, it's still unfinished.
(I just made it change the x by 0.22 instead of 1, but then the collision function doesn't recognise parts of blocks)
Here is the one with the old physics engine:

I'm wondering if I could run the Pico-8 editor online. This might be done using a web-based linux emulator, possibly? If anyone has any ideas, let me know!

Orbital v1.0
Story:
In the distant future, an AI-piloted ship arrives in a distant star cluster. Its mission: to search for signs of intelligent life. You are that AI.
Gameplay:
Navigate star systems and land on planets searching for clues to what happened to a long lost civilization. As you discover alien artifacts, you may gain abilities. Absorb special minerals on the planets to replenish your energy. No enemies or time limit, but watch your fuel levels and don't crash into a star or a planet surface (nose-to-ground collision).
Controls:
Saving:
This game supports saving/loading. It should work in the web version depending on your browser settings, but it definitely works if you grab the cart and run it locally. Will save automatically after the intro text is read, and after each artifact is found. You can also save through the in-game menu under "options" at any time. If you save in space, you will load exactly where you were, but if you save while on a planet, you will reload back in space where you were when you encountered the planet.

@zep o/
A weird bug has been messing with me recently: pico-8 keeps telling me I have "unsaved changes" when I'm pretty sure I don't. I caught the bug on camera this time:
I don't know how to reproduce it; I tried adding a new tab and messing with the text cursor position (since I wondered if this had something to do with the fix for https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=39379 ) and soon after I was able to trigger the bug. But I was able to trigger the bug without even opening up the code editor -- all I did was load cart1 load cart2 load cart1 over and over again until it said "unsaved changes". strange
Jump to 1:12 and 1:24 in the video to see me trigger the bug two separate times. (the video description has a few other timestamps too)
I'm worried I'll stop trusting that message and accidentally lose real changes!
I think this bug is new as of 0.2.4b; I don't remember it happening beforehand.
