this idea came to me while i was making my multi-cart, its not the coding thats hard, no, its tedious, even with copy and paste, it gets tedious, and debugging can get tedious as well! so, i quit making games, its not that i quit pico-8! im gonna exclusively make songs now! the only other thing i am able to do is songs. so, goodbye game dev, hello composer

In Pico8 menu you can enable timer or return to menu. To activate that menu press P or Enter. You can enable timer even after the game is over, just don't go to menu because timer resets then.

This is SINKHOLE! You are a farm girl who falls into a sinkhole. You must use your only tool, a pitchfork, and your wits to escape the catacombs and the giant, mutated bugs that lurk within.
This is my first game so I'd love some feedback! Check the code comments for references.

A simple puzzle game I entered into the 'Back to the Beginnings' Game Jam back in March of 2023. The theme was 'Reverse Evolution'.
I was fairly happy with how it turned out, although I never got the chance to add background music; hence the static (Which I tried to pass off as ambiance lol).
Anyway, thought I'd upload it here, cause why not.

A friend of mine asked me to play my first "game". She's is in vacation. With this online publication, maybe she can discover others games in de beautiful world in Pico-8.
No more descriptions for a complete discovery ;)

This prototype was made for Pico-View, a monthly web-zine hosted on NerdyTeachers.com.
This month's prototype is named "Sokolike". It is a template for building your own Sokoban-like game.
If you are not familiar with Sokoban, meaning "warehouse worker" in Japanese, it is an MS DOS puzzle game from 1982 where you must push blocks around walls and other blocks to get them all to designated locations.
We have included a level building function that will read each pixel in a 16x16 sprite and use that to place appropriate tiles on the map. This means that you can draw and edit your level designs easily using the sprite sheet! There are 16 example levels and 52 total levels available to be made.
