So it turns out I never uploaded the first game I ever made. I thought I had lost this thing for years. Recently I found an old broken version and managed to fix it up to be releasable. Enjoy!

Controls

Arrow keys to move
X to drop a bomb

How to play

Dropping a bomb will cause it to drift for a bit before exploding, it will also spawn in another eyeball. The more eyeballs on screen the more points you get for killing them. You have 30 seconds to get the highest score possible.

Vacay Volley

To celebrate the last days of summer, join Ollie on the beach in Vacay Volley!

Vacay Volley is a simple game where you juggle a ball in the air as long you can without letting it touch the ground. Watch out for wandering crabs and gulls while aiming for red balloons. Hitting 3 balloons will temporarily double your points. Dive if the ball is out of reach. Thanks for playing!

Z or 🅾️ to Jump
X or ❎ to Dive

Hi all! It's time once again to start building a PICO-8 holiday calendar thing of some kind. Usually we keep the games a secret while they're in development, so each game is a surprise when it releases in the calendar. If you're interested in participating, shoot me a DM on Discord (thetomster) and I'll get you added to the server where we coordinate things!

We're looking for winter or holiday themed games, and games will need to be wrapped up by the end of November. As we get closer to the deadline we'll look at how many games we have and make a decision about what format to run. The past couple years we've run it as a "twelve days of christmas" thing, but if we get enough sign ups it would be great to get back to a full 25-day calendar.

Interested in joining? DM me on Discord (my username there is thetomster)!

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.
