a Head On demake for Pico-8
I started this speed-remake yesterday and worked like 7-8 hours in total. I'll have a couple off-dev relaxing weeks (posted the WIP so I can playtest) and finish it back home.

Arcade history: Head On (1979 by Sega/Gremlin) is the first game introducing the "collect dots in maze" idea. You can tell where Pac-Man took the inspiration from.

WIP:
Still work in progress but playable (infinite lives, no score).
You can push ❌+⬆️⬇️ to change the difficulty level (after a crash the new level setting will be used).

Controls:
⬆️⬇️⬅️➡️ Change lanes
⭕️ Accelerator

Gameplay:
Two cars continuously drive forward through rectangular channels in a simple maze. At the four cardinal directions are gaps where a car can change lanes. The player goal is to collect all dots in the maze while avoiding collisions with the computer-controlled car that is travelling in the opposite direction.

First time I've ever coded in pico 8. Just practicing from scratch and using this to understand various specific part of the language. Currently trying to come up with a jump function that uses loops to animate the wall moving up and down a little to simulate the player jumping.

POSSIBLE eventual goal would be to make a simple game with the goal of getting to the end while dodging traps and the like.

A hardcore action game about a bloodthirsty worm chewing through all the numbers that make up your computer. (Don't worry though: this game does not actually affect your computer.)

The final boss fight from my mod/game, Olden Peak: Godslayer, so you can fight him without going through the rest of the game!

The unofficial sequel to Olden Peak

I plan to make all the bosses harder, then change the level layout and mechanics, for now, it just makes the final boss much harder and changes the story

When i try to copy sprites from the sprite editor, they do not copy to the clipboard.
It seems that the actual clipboard and the pico-8 clipboard are not both stored in the actual clipboard

Also, i'm using pico 8 education edition on an android.

After watching this video about the map generation in the Binding Of Isaac, I wanted to play around more with the map generation in my game. The maps in my game consist of 4 rooms which are randomly chosen from a list of rooms. I wanted to try something similar where it checks to see if adjacent rooms are compatible when generating them.

My first game, Diefence, is out!

	[16x16]

This was meant to be my ntry for last year's GMTK jam, but I was still very much a noob with Pico-8. The idea kinda stuck, so I waited until I learnt enough (thanks to all of you guys!) and began coding it. I took around three months in which I tried to code at least half an hour a day.

Diefence is a simple Tower defence. Place your soldiers in front of the wall to your village to defeat the attackers!

Behind the Scenes

WARWIND was solo developed over a month to take part in the Lazy Dev's "SHMUP Showcase" . I'd like to thank everyone that offered feedback on the game during development , particularly in the Lazy Devs discord community . Unfortunately I didn't get the time to make the final boss in time for the deadline . As this is quite an old project by now , I likely won't be touching it again
