Ok so, Im making a game where your a frog collecting fire flies and what I need help with is spawning the fire flies periodically on a random spot on screen. How would I do this as ive tried a few things that havnt worked. So, any suggestions or help would be great.

I can’t figure this one out…
I’m trying to make a simple game where the player picks up strawberries in a set amount of time. I used Rnd() and mset() to randomize where the strawberries are on the map everytime, but I can’t figure out how to make the player interact with them. I can make the strawberries add to a counter, but don’t know how to swap the tiles to the version of the sprite without the red dot that represents the strawberries.
I know I’m doing something wrong but don’t know what. I’ve tried using collisions and flags, and mget and mset, but still no luck.
How can I solve this?

This is Lemon A.D.E., which stands for Automated Dialogue Engine (ADE). With one call per frame, speech bubbles will appear where you want them on-screen.
When a new string is passed to the ade() function, it is rendered with one more character each frame.

Hello! This is our entry to Brackeys Game Jam 2025.1
A quirky Earthbound-inspired RPG about pants. (more like a tiny demo if you ask me...)
Featuring a custom scripting engine, a cute protagonist and a story all about pants.
We may or may not continue working on this game to make the story a bit less about pants. (no guarantees)
This isn't exactly a "complete" game, much of the story is left to be told.

Finally finished my first game. Particle effects were modified from this awesome post https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=53826 and, after adding them, i realised that there's probably a lot i can do to clean up the code so any brutal code review is obviously welcome.

Hello. This is my first game (and using pico 8). I made it for my 5yr old daughter.
Unfortunately the id of the game is something random instead of the intended title...
goal
The idea is simple : solve the equation and receive a coin.
controls
The x is 'enter' and the arrows for navigating.
Please enjoy the game and I if you have any feedback please share.

This is my first Pico-8 game. Use the arrow keys to move the guy around and eat the donuts before the time runs out.
Also, LMK if there are any bugs I need to fix, I didn't really do any play testing

Welcome great adventurers! As you know lately we had troubles with the crypt of the old Lich King! His tomb attracted nearby goblin tribes and they set up camp on the many levels. We ask you to go and clean it up, find their boss so we can rest assured once again. The Lich? Don’t worry he was defeated decades ago, only bones remained.
Now, gather you party and go onwards!

Playing Instructions
On the menu screen, use dead left and right to select a game mode.. Press X to start the game.
The object of the game is to make lines of three or more matching vegetables. To do so, you can swap the position of any two vegetables on the play screen by holding down fire and pushing in a direction. When there are no valid moves left then the board is shuffled – until you run out of shuffles, then it’s game over!
Match three vegetables and they are removed from the board, with new shapes dropping down to replace them. Occasionally an immovable block will be dropped. These can only be removed by strategically dropping them until a line of three or more immovable blocks is made. Match four shapes in a row to destroy a full row or line and match five to destroy all matching shapes and get an extra shuffle.

100 Headaches
100 extremely difficult mate in 2 chess puzzles.
Based on the book 100 Headachingly Hard Mate In Two Chess Puzzles by Sam Loyd by Martin B. Justesen.
Gameplay
It is white to move on every puzzle. But the player ALSO makes black's move rather than a computer-automated response. That way, you can try out different moves for black to prove to yourself that it is, indeed, mate in 2.
Scoring
Plus 5 for every correct move. Minus 1 for every wrong move. Only on unsolved puzzles. Once a puzzle is completed, you can replay it as many times as you like and not lose/gain points.
Navigation
All progress is automatically saved. There is a handy 'map' of all 100 puzzles and you are free to jump to any number you like.

No one has ever survived his wrath—will you be the first to claim vengeance?
⚔BLADE MASTER⚔
Master the Blade, Command the Ball!
Slash with the ball’s movement to guide it, or strike against it to change its angle. Every move is a step closer to victory—wield your sword wisely!
🧃JUICE EVERYWHERE🧃
Crunch bones, deflect the orb, and watch bones rain down! Every hit is packed with satisfying feedback, screen-shaking impacts, and visceral chaos. Get ready to make a mess!
🦴MEET THE BONES🦴
Smash the skeleton army and carve your path to the royal family.
🤫SECRET🤫
Congratulations, Hero!
You’ve unlocked the Perfect Hit! Press X/V/M just before the ball strikes to activate the Mighty Sword and earn extra points. But beware—mastering this powerful technique takes skill and timing. Use it wisely!

After way, way too many months I'm finally mostly finished with that little throwback to Astro Attack on Amstrad CPC.
It's pretty short and there is no music, but it was an incredible exercise in game design and I learned a ton of things. Games be hard!
(Edit: uploaded the proper, non-test version. You'd think that's the first thing I would have tested. Could have sworn I had. x_x)

Hello,
here's a small mecha themed incremental game inspired by Overcooked with some basic roguelike elements i've been working on.
The game is a bit rubbish: there are big problems with balancing and gameplay.
And then visually it's very basic (it's more of a prototype than anything else).
Please don't look at my code, it's too painful for the eyes: I made the mistake of poorly organizing my project at the start of development and it bothered me throughout.
You play as the operating of a mech.
You will receive “requests” from the pilot who will ask you to take over the management of all the vehicle’s peripherals (cooling system, battery, etc.).
Be quick; you have to complete the mission within a given time limit.
