Bitty Dig
A small digging game made for Low Rez Jam 2023.
Use your arrow keys to dig. You will need to collect stars to get air. Try to find an efficient path through the blocks.
Tip: You can jump by pressing up, and you can move side to side a bit while jumping.
I really want to make a slower-paced drilling game. I might continue to poke at this for balance.

Inspired by SegaSoft's Lose Your Marbles released for Microsoft Windows on August 19, 1997. In this version you will try to match colors of 3 or more marbles in the center row. Left and right buttons will shift the marble column select cursor. Up and down buttons will shift the selected column of marbles up or down. The X and O buttons will rotate the center row of marbles. A level is completed when a single column of marbles is emptied. The game is over when a single column of marbles is filled. Hope you enjoy it!

Experience more blob action with power-ups and two player co-op!
This game is an expansion/sequel to the puzzle game Blob Command. It features improved graphics with pseudo-3D animations, new music, a simple two player co-op mode and, most importantly, power-ups. These pieces, which can freeze time or rotate the entire board, get activated when they are attached to a set of blobs of the same color or have two or more pieces of any type attached to it.
Controls:
- Arrows - Move blob cursor
- Z/O - Drop blob
- X - Store blob

Another game for my four-year-old nephew. We played a game where he was a mole and I was a mountain and I had an avalanche that dropped some pillows on him and he had to get out from under them. That's not much of a computer game, but he likes a maze so here is a maze version.
The game will absolutely go on forever if you keep playing.

Extremely simple password generator.
Before anything else, I want to say, that since it uses the built-in rnd() function, it will(more than probably)be insecure. If you want extra security, just don't... use it.
It features 7 character sets.
And that is pretty much it.

Hi Zep! :)
I'm not sure if this is by design, but it seems printh() resolves paths differently than cstore(), reload(), etc; where printh() does path resolution relative to root_path, while the other funcs resolve paths relative to the running cart.
For example, given the directory structure:
project_dir/ |_dist/ |_foo.p8 |_log.p8l |_utils/ |_bar.p8 |
and launching with:
project_dir $ pico8 -root_path ./ ./utils/bar.p8 |
project_dir/utils/bar.p8:
cstore(0, 0, 0x4300, "./dist/foo.p8") --doesn't write to foo.p8
cstore(0, 0, 0x4300, "../dist/foo.p8") --writes to foo.p8
printh("hello world!", "./dist/log") --writes to log.p8l
printh("hello world!", "../dist/log") --bad log error |
I'm not sure which way I think all the funcs should behave, but I'm inclined to say printh() should resolve paths relative to the running cart like the other funcs, because it would probably be less surprises for the user that way.

I thought the PICO-8 community needed a reaction time test. For this I came up with a reflex test inspired by humanbenchmark.com
HOW TO USE
You can use the whole program just by pressing the "O" key. When you pass the main menu and start the test, you wait on the red screen for a random length of time. At the end of this period, when the screen turns green, you must press the "O" key as fast as possible. If you press the key early, you will have to start over with the current step. At the end of each step, you can see your current reaction time and when this process is repeated 5 times, the program calculates your average reaction time.
CREATING A DATABASE
The program also makes a comment on how fast or slow you are as a result, based on your average reaction time. This comment is a classification system based on the results of me and a few volunteers for now.
The next thing I want to do about this is to set up a database of the average reaction times of the PICO-8 community playing this game and put it on some sort of leaderboard. If you want to help, you can write your average reaction time in the comments until the next update!

Simple Democart i made.
I came across this idea when working on my other game (info on my twitter :) ), and decided to horribly code unglue it from that game and edit it into a little pico-8 democart! I tried to keep it similar to p8's builtin demos, but i couldn't help myself from adding little sounds and stuff. (Also if you want it @zep , its yours :) ) feel free to yoink code from this cart if you feel like it! i commented out everything that needs it so that even beginners can make sense of whats going on under the floorboards. er- what makes the-- never mind. i also left some map spaces open if you want to make your own levels!
Thank you all from the pico-8 community for not yelling about my awful code! i really appreciate all the support from my other projects and im glad im apart of this little community.
