My First Shmup
My First Shmup is an old-school style arcade shoot 'em up (shmup) aesthetically reminiscent of Galxian or Galaga, with hints of newer shmups sprinkled in.
How to play
Fly your fighter and defend the known universe by destroying the evil Space Ghost's armada.
Arrow keys - move your fighter
O/Z button - Fires Missiles, reduces ship speed
X button - Fires Plasma Weapon
System
Enemies destroyed with missiles drop energy cores at a rate of 20%. Pick up energy cores to increase your energy meter. The Plasma Weapon does more damage than missiles, but can only be fired when there is energy in the meter. Each Plasma shot depletes your meter a small amount.

check out the music video here!

Used Pico8 as the visuals for a music video. Getting TIME() to be actually accurate was the main problem i ran into. Had to sampling beeps from Pico8 using TIME() to trigger them every second, record that into Reaper, ratio the sampled time with the time it should have been, averaging all the ratios, multiplying TIME() with the ratio we found, witch happened to be 1.0007962696777
-- 0x1.0034 is as close as Pico8
-- can get to the fration
-- 1.0007962696777
local ratio = 0x1.0034
local oldt = 0
local t = 0
function _update()
t = (time()*ratio)%1
if t < oldt then

Have fun playing in the sandbox, while I continue procrastinating my other projects.
I think I fixed the error.

Familiar Frog Game

Rundown
This game should feel very familiar. That's why I chose it to be my first Pico-8 game. It let me work with something I knew (Konami's Frogger) while I learned something new (Pico-8/Lua). There are differences from the original beyond the art style. There is only one level. The road directions are more realistic. The game is easier either because of my inexperience in game design or because I was making this for young, inexperienced gamers. Not sure which. I hope you enjoy. After this, I will move on to new, less familiar games.

Inspired by Rapid Roll, a game I played on my old Nokia dumbphone.
The goal is to reach the ground and avoid the wooden spikes.
Left/Right to roll
Button O to (re)start game [N or C on keyboard, A on gamepad]
Button X to dash downwards while falling [V or M on keyboard, X on gamepad]
Music: Toccata and Fugue in D minor by J.S. Bach (probably)
Let me know what you think! :)
changelog:
v1.1: add pickle jar

Hi Everybody,
I’m excited to share Pink Cat Green Cat with you! I wrote a fun, little story for this game, and I divided the chapters into three carts to fit in the dialog. I hope you will give all three carts a try, and I sincerely hope you enjoy Pink Cat Green Cat.
