This prototype was made for Pico-View, a monthly web-zine hosted on NerdyTeachers.com.
This month's prototype is named "Color Combo". It is a template for building your own game similar to DanceDanceRevolution or Magicka.
The main mechanic in this prototype is to detect the combination of button inputs of the arrows in order to create different colors. This game has 6 different colors, which you can turn into elements, potions, weapons, anything! We kept it simple with just color matching.
- left = blue
- right = yellow
- up = red
The secondary colors are made by combining the appropriate primary colors.
- left+right = green
- left+up = purple
- right+up = orange
We decided to use down arrow as the submit button but you could include down as a fourth primary element, and increase the total number of combinations possible. We also only used a max of 2 input mixtures, but you could expand it to 3, but be careful because this will quickly multiply into too many possible combinations.
Go ahead and tweak, add, re-theme, and build whatever you want on this and let's make some great input-combo games!
Don't forget to share it here on the BBS with the tag "prototype-party" so we can see what you were inspired to create. And keep your eyes out for more in the coming issues of Pico-View!

I am pleased to announce Questionable PICO-8 Audio (QPA), a compressed audio format for PICO-8.
(Compatibility note: if you encoded any QPA files before 2023-09-07, please see the Changes section below.)
DON'T YOU LECTURE ME WITH YOUR 30K PICO-8 CART
Oh, but I will!
Your song is synced with the clipboard - you can copy your songs out to text files (or this thread!) and paste song strings back in to the cart. You can right-click samples to preview them, and you can right-click the play button to skip the intro sample. Numeric modifiers come before the thing they modify. Hopefully you can figure out the rest!
Copy/paste is a little annoying on the web player, and PCM audio can also be unreliable on the web, so consider trying this cart on desktop PICO-8 if you have it.

Here's a small cart I made to learn PICO-8.
There's a menu item in the pause menu that allows you to customize the settings, like the number of pipes spawned.
Inspired/based on pipes.sh.

A two player game that tests your ability to spot small differences.
Find and locate the letter that's not like the others.
The first one to 5 points wins!

Repuzzle hint & solution cart
("Resolution")
What's Repuzzle?
Sounds like you're here by mistake.
Head over to Repuzzle's page in the BBS and don't come back unless and until you're well and truly stuck.
What does this cart contain?
All hints and solutions for Repuzzle - revealable in gradual order.
Whether you need a small pointer for a level or five you're stuck on, or whether you want to see all the solutions - this cart has you covered.
Though it won't make getting to the solutions too pleasant!
Controls?
You can use the standard pico8 controls, or you can use the mouse (Mouse wheel and buttons only. The mouse wheel also works inside popups)

A Rapidly Expanding Sun
1.1 Update (21st March 2024):
- Fixed minor syntax errors
- Changed ugly yellow border to white
- Version number included in-game
This game was my entry into the 'Seven Day Goodbye Summer Horror' Game Jam.
My first attempt at a 'story' based game. Fairly short and simple, but I'm happy with how it turned out (Despite the messy spaghetti code :D). Hope you enjoy playing it!

Just wanted to share what I spent the weekend on.
Dungeon Cat!
He moves, but doesn't collide with anything...
Been thinking how to use 3D in a game, and decided to mockup a level.
I've been wanting to do more, so we'll see whether this turns into anything...

Hi,
We are TEAMJUVI (even tho were just a duo),
and we wanna make games for our enjoyment and others too.
We wanna start our journey right here, on lexaloffle, not only do we have the tools we need to make a game, but the simplicity of the PICO8/Picotron helps us (total noobs) to get a understanding on how the process works. We plan to upload our games on the BBS , Itch.io, Newgrounds, and heck maybe even a PS1. I look forward to be in this community with wonderful people with their wonderful creations.
PS: were not totally new but we still need help with some things.
Sincerely,
dyln (melodyl).
