The city of Z'Oular is crumbling. Lord Raltus has used the powers of the Blood Moon Talisman to enthrall the city. Very few people are left alive. Bram, a demon hunter under the banner of the Goddess Askelpios, receives a message from within the city and takes it upon himself to cleanse the evil that lies therein.
Play through a huge overworld packed to the brim with secrets! Uncover the hidden dungeons within and use the bevy of curios you find to bring Lord Raltus to his knees! A massive adventure tucked neatly into a single PICO-8 cartridge and built to evoke the games of yore.
Keep your notepad handy to write down the hints you receive and to draw a map to keep you from getting lost or spool through a printable manual to really game like it's the 80s.

This game is inspired by NuSan's brilliant Flooded Caves, it is a fan game :)
It is your job to save people who went cave diving from drowning! Water is entering the caves, use your drill to carve tunnels to redirect the flow of water and try to save as many people as you can.
Controls:
X or V or Left Mouse Button to carve
Arrows or Mouse to move the cursor
The difficulty still needs some finetuning, do let me know how you like it! The Cave generation is based on GPT`s idea of a Noise Algorithm, I might clean it up in the future cause it was useful to me.
Update 6.1.24
- Updated the menu to reflect the inspiration by

Astrotype
A space themed typing game made for the 2022 20 Second Game Jam!
About
I've always enjoyed typing games, and when thinking of a game that could be played and replayed in 20 second intervals for this jam, this is what came to mind! Although this game has been finished for well over a year, I've only remembered to upload it just now in 2024 😅 Enjoy!
Controls
Astrotype takes a somewhat non-conventional approach to controls- all controls in this game are executed by simply typing words, and is explained in the cartridge!

Just a clock that shoots confetti every second.
It shoots a bigger confetti every 10 seconds, every minute, and so on.
It was a fun first P8 project!

Hi,
I am having trouble programming sprites and collisions.
I am looking for a simple way of accomplishing it; I have tried tutorials on YouTube but there is no success.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello everyone! I've been confused for a long time, on how to make multiple pickups items using the same collision function. I want to use the map editor to place them, but give different values to them for example.
A healing potion: +5 health points
A gold coin: +2 money
Instead of all of them just giving +1. Thank you!

Hi, I apologize that this is in the PICO-8 bugs category, but I don't see one for BBS bugs. For the last few days it would seem some (not all) @ mentions (e.g. @kozm0naut) have not turned to links as normal, and I'm not sure users are getting the usual notifications that they've been mentioned.
Here are some recent posts in which @ mentions did not seem to work for me despite having the correct username:

The Shavian Alphabet
Romanization and Custom Font
What is this?
The Shavian alphabet (also known as the Shaw alphabet) is a constructed alphabet conceived as a way to provide simple, phonemic orthography for the English language to replace the inefficiencies and difficulties of conventional spelling using the Latin alphabet. It was posthumously funded by and named after Irish playwright Bernard Shaw.
The cart contains:
- A custom 4x8 pixel font for rendering Shavian text in PICO-8
- A chart for the romanization scheme used to type Shavian
- An example text (the above paragraph) in standard English, Romanized Shavian, and proper Shavian
Why should I care?

My first cart, this is a guessing "game" or flashcard type of study exercise to learn some basic notes for sheet music reading.
I've always struggled to learn the notes on the bass clef and in true programmer procrastination I have now created a tool to learn them (instead of actually learning them).

this is my first attempt at doing a "real" game. Will keep working on it. Any tips or suggestions would be welcomed!
edits:
added initial attempt of sound/sfx
use left and right arrow keys to choose the track

Hello everyone, how do I combat my sprite sheet, page 2 and 3, altering the lower part of the map, do they share the same data perhaps?
Is it not fixable at all? Please I am open to any response disappointing, or relieving. Thanks in advance.

Cave Copter
In this game, you pilot a helicopter descending into a cave, and your goal is to get as deep inside as possible without crashing into the ceiling or floor.
Every 20 seconds, the speed of your helicopter will increase, so you will need to stay alert to not crash into the terrain!
The final speed increase is at 400 seconds, after that the game will not get any faster.
This game is a PICO-8 adaptation of the Wii homebrew game Helii.
