Hello, this is my first attempt at a pico 8 game. I can't code very well, so I had some assistance from Claude AI :)
It's a simple Shoot'em Up game that gets more difficult as you progress.
How long can you survive?
Post your high score!
Update:
- added enemy fire (starts at lvl 5)
- menus/title screen
- level progress improvement
- updated sprites
- other small things, and bug fixes

This is a platformer experiment based on Advanced Micro Platformer by @mhughson. Art by Niall Chandler Games.
Landing on top of blocks generally works well, but bumping into the sides of them is glitchy. Especially for the faster dirt blocks in the foreground. This is because of the hacky way I'm doing collision detection across the different layers.

Hello, my name is Andrews and this is my first game in Pico8. It's a little plataformer in which you can explore this abandoned laboratory with Roboki, a little blue robot with red shoes. And, it's my first time composing music too (I think it turned out ok, but next time I will make my best). Feel free to remix this cartridge, just remember to credit me :3.
I hope you like and I already have plans for future projects, this is only the first one, so stay tune. And please, don't be shy to give your review on the game, I would love to hear you all :).

E também é a primeira vez que componho uma música (acho que ficou bom, mas da próxima vez farei o meu melhor). Sinta-se à vontade para remixar este cartucho, mas lembre-se de me dar os créditos :3.
Espero que gostem e já tenho planos para projetos futuros, esse é só o primeiro, então fiquem de olho. E, por favor, não tenha vergonha de dar sua opinião sobre o jogo, eu quero ouvir a opinião de todos :).

PICO DAW is a digital audio workstation for creating PICO-8 tunes. If you've ever been frustrated by the piano style layout keyboard layout of the music editor or just wished you could draw your music, PICO DAW is for you. It's a mouse-based alternative for tune creation.
Preliminaries
While you can use the version of PICO DAW embedded in this page, it is better to run the cartridge directly from PICO-8. Open the PICO-8 console and enter [kbd]LOAD #DAW[kbd].
By default PICO-8 saves your composition to DAW.P8, but you can specify a different cart as the target by changing the file specified in the first line of code of the PICO DAW cart: target="daw.p8". If you are using a pre-exiting P8 file as the target, that file must be in the same folder as PICO DAW. If PICO DAW does not find the target file in the default folder, it will create one with the music patterns and SFX copied from PICO-DAW.

My demake of the game One Circle on Pico-8.
Buy the original game for full levels!
One Circle is a minimalist puzzle game about putting balls of the same color together. Find the right moves to solve the proposed challenges, and challenge your mind more and more.

Howdy! I made a game to showcase my auxlang Dasopya, and it's essentially open-world Frogger, which should take 5-15 min to complete. Knowing the language isn't required to play the game, but if you want to learn more about it, you can find it here: https://www.dasopya.com/
Big thank you to @paraK00PA for helping out and making the title music!
Controls:
-D-Pad to move + unlock locks with keys
-O to read signs (only works from front)

decided to start with lazy dev tutorials instead of the other i was starting with. i like that he gives you like homework between episodes, i highly recommend his channel. but this is what i've got so far. no where near done witht the playlist but i really like what i've got going on graphic/theme wise, but i just wanted to post progress. the score, or lives or sword(bombs) don't do anything yet, since, i don't even have enemies, and the bullet resets itself everytime you press the fire button, but now that the tutorial is pretty much done with like, the visual stuff, i believe all that stuff happens next, but i'm done for the night to play some games with my partner. now, i just added the starfield to the start screen, but i can't tell if i like it better than how it was in the begining.
starfield
no starfield
if anyone sees this, if you have an opinion im open to it.
also features HEAVILY referenced art on the start screen by

How many waves can you survive? let me know in the comments!
Work in progress, I am a beginner gamedev working solo, after long hours at my normal job.
I wanted to make something sort of different and experiment with different things like day night cycles and such. I hope you enjoy!
Basically, you are in a field behind a huge building, and when the day cycles to night time, a new wave of zombie horde begins to attack the player and the player must fend them off to see how many waves he can survive! I have not coded a start screen, and the game will still keep going through waves if the player dies, I came home from work and it was on wave 290 cause I forgot to turn the game off as I was programming for like 24 hours or so and left in a hurry!

This is the first game I make for the 20 games challenge, and first game in general, so any feedback would be much appreciated, especially regarding how to improve my code structure, and the collisions in the game.

Is it possible to re-define the update function mid cart? Like, having a game over function that basically just overwrites the current update function with a new one. I know you could achieve this by just putting all the current update code in an if statement, with all the new update code in an else statement, but that could start to get messy if you want to add more statements. There will almost definetly be a better way to do this, I just want to know if this would even theoretically work.

I sorta burnt out on another game dev project, so I decided to play around with Pico 8. Yesterday and today were my first times messing around with it, and so far very relaxing, and fun to experiment with!
Mode code is a complete mess, so be you warned!
Currently have a basic unit selection and movement system, X to select, X to move to an empty spot with a unit selected, and O to deselect. Currently using an insanely inefficient flood fill pathing algo, but it works!

First Pico-8 game, been pretty amazed at what some of you are able to pull off. Started off trying to implement a grid-like movement system like StarTropics and went from there. Spent a bit too much time trying to cram in some flashy effects, but I eventually saw my ideas through.

> A Minesweeper clone — mine!
I picked the game to learn how PICO-8 handles mouse input and built-in menus, but in the end decided to turn the project in a close-to-respectable cart, perhaps even worth sharing :)
Minesweeper for people in a hurry. Can you clear mines in less than 99 seconds? Perhaps even less than 60?
Controls

"x" key to move between screens and to reveal cells

An attempt at a vertical scroller...
themed upon the (sort-of) popular cryptocurrency Unicorn Fart Dust.
I lifted a few snippets of code such as simplex noise and sprite rotation from the bbs.
