Pico Rescue!

Pico Rescue is a game for rescuing people and putting out fires. Keep an eye out for your fuel bar, avoid the damage caused by smoke columns, pick up rescuees and return them back to the flag checkpoint.

Don't over stay!

You cannot refuel during a mission. So pay close attention to your fuel gauge. When it starts to blink and beep you have 30% of fuel left. It's best to leave, you might not have time to save everyone. To expedite your mission you can leave the area by flying all the way to the left of the map´until the game prompts you to leave.

For the emergency room!

Some of the rescuees may need medical atention. You'll have to remove clothing, and do first aid like cleaning wounds and stop bleedings. Use the lens on a wound to see what's left, but don't take too long. Keep and eye out for the patient blood level and use a blood bag if needed

A silly little toy I threw together. Click your mouse to generate a bunch of randomly-colored snails that flee at varying speeds to the left and right of the screen.

Celeste, but with graphics options. Made in less than an hour. :)
Options are available through the pause menu (P or Enter).
Options list:

• Shake (disables all forms of screenshake)
• Clouds (hides the moving clouds)
• Snow (hides the snow in the foreground)
• Deco. (hides decoration in the background, leaving solely the interactive stuff)

Hope this helps people out! :)

IMPORTANT! All employees:
We take both the environment and our security seriously. Ensure all lights are off and all doors are locked when leaving the premises. Failure to do so will result in termination of contract.

This was originally supposed to be my attempt at Weekly Game Jam #149, with the theme "Last One Left". Thanks to all of this lock-down business (future generations, look up 2020 on Wikipedia) I was going to have a go at making a game, when not working from home; however a migraine lost a couple of days' worth of time and I bailed out. Originally using Unity, then followed 2 years of being too busy / lazy / depressed to do anything, until the engine that PICO-8 provided was the excuse I needed to make a more compact game.

The long-awaited spinoff to Chess is finally here! In Adelie, your goal is to destroy all of your opponent's eggs while keeping your eggs protected. Every penguin has a unique move set, and can even be evolved to gain different moves and abilities! Below is an image containing each penguin's move set and evolution path for your convenience.

• Each penguin may move using the arrows indicated by the green box and may kill using the arrows indicated by the red box.

• The distance each arrow goes is important! All moves have a limited range matching that in the image.

• Evolve a penguin by moving it onto the same tile as an identical penguin. Evolving an Egguin allows you to choose one of the three evolution paths.

TO LOAD THIS PICO-8 CART, in immediate mode, type: load #rotate_earth

First off I'd like to give credit to @0oskar and his Earth Demo found HERE:

https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=48697

Which inspired me to write this.

One of the things I discovered back in IBM-pc DOS after plotting randomly colored pixels to the screen was a way to make them grow and fill in an area randomly. I called it the Tapestry Effect and used it in some of my games where I wanted to create random continents and maps.

I especially made use of it for an Easter Egg program written in GFABasic where I plotted color r#254,g#254,b#254 and then randomly chose one of those 3 to plot a pixel one-space away from there with either r g or b decreased by 1. and then I set an invisible "egg" boundary so when it was complete you had these very pretty rainbow colored eggs in a basket of grass I also procedurally drew.

A dice sorting game where you need to drag the die onto the correct side of the screen within a time limit. Prompts appear on the left and right side to tell where the die should go based on their number of eyes.

In NORMAL mode: You have a set amount of time each round. Your time resets and shrinks when you complete the round. Game over when time runs out.

In 30 SEC mode: You have thirty seconds to complete as many rounds as possible. Game over when time runs out.

In SPEED mode: You have only a few seconds each round, but you only need to sort one dice. Your time resets when you complete the round. Game over when time runs out.

Good Luck!

(Playing on mobile is recommended if you dislike mouse!)

The game was originally made for GMTK Game Jam 2022, but have been updated. You can download the original submission on itch.io: https://noh-kinda-poh.itch.io/diesort

Here is my little demo. The music is a cover of "Mother Earth" from "Mother"/"EarthBound Beginnings".
I'd like to thank @dw817 for the Earth spinning idea even though my realisation may differ from his in the cartridge he made: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=48699

Hello :>
I don't want to do anything big (obviously) for my first project, so I just made a small animation

Paid work offered for prototypes

I am looking to explore some ideas and wanted to collaborate with someone on a nominal payment basis. I am a coder, but time is the issue with other projects and work. If anyone is interested and willing to work through Fiverr please let me know.

Just to emphasise, the work is exploring game mechanics - no 3D, no music and basic sprites. For a seasoned PICO-8 developer I imagine the ideas will be fairly straight forward, but I'm happy for an intermediate level person who wants to broaden their experience.

Thanks.

Quincunx - a Bean Machine

A Quincunx, otherwise known as a bean machine or Galton board, is a device designed to demonstrate how bell curves appear from combinations of random events, and so why they appear so much in nature.

A physics-based statistics toy

This cart (roughly) simulates marbles bouncing through a grid of pegs and landing in bins at the bottom - for anyone who enjoys watching marbles fall or maybe wants to demonstrate some statistical principles themselves.

The bins have a bell curve overlaid on them that should match the approximate pattern of the balls once they have all fallen, so you can test how consistent the simulation is with the theory.
