• While CTRL-Z and CTRL-Y (or CTRL-SHIFT-Z) work, for some reason, the buttons don't work reliably.
• No "save as" function yet.
• Writing to /system files is disabled by default (to avoid possible problems).

Bullet in the Train

Bullet in the Train is a score chaser inspired by action films like Bullet Train and John Wick. There is lots of shooting and bullet time. Suitcases are also involved because they keep turning up on trains for some reason.

How to play

• Move left and right, jump and duck to avoid enemy bullets.
• Shoot to kill enemies.
• Time your shots because your weapon automatically reloads after eight shots.
• Knives, food carts, and train mascots will automatically trigger a jump on contact.
• Shoot enemies point-blank to gain a bonus.
• Shoot ten enemies without dying to trigger insane mode (score x2).
• Enjoy the scenery

I recommend using a controller.

patchnotes:

v1.6 - shading rework, now uses a color tabling system for shading (view guide for details) - removed the auto-regenerate lighting setting as it's unnecessary with new system - bugfixes on group merge - probably something i forgot

v1.5 - fixed a bug in the collision template

v1.4 - added alternate dither option (changes the base tileset - reimport textures to see changes) - added group merge (merges down any higher index layers that are unlocked and share a group) - added layer shifting (scroll the X and Y to adjust the entire layer - pair with duplication and you have prefabs) - probably minor things I forgot

v1.3 - more bugfixes - flipped tile collisions fixed in app and in demonstration code - added groups - added demonstration door feature - modified the demonstration draw_map function to accommodate the group IDs - probably other things i've forgotten

v1.2 - small bugfix where undo stacks were being added erroneously (if tile placement/removal failed, it stacked anyway)

v1.1 - fixed tile generation for walls (oops!), added origin crosshair toggle and offset, added forgotten hotkey to guide (ctrl+click places a tile in rear of layer), modified the base offset to position 0,0 at center of workspace. All code snippets modified (movement simplified, collision is still WIP, and draw_map now takes arguments - thanks @xietanu for the suggestions and bug reporting
make sure to modify the code snippets as necessary!

v1.0 - initial release

isometric mapmaking software

Update 15/06/25: Added additional level and new cover image. Fixed damage calculation when enemy is on tile bonus tile (tree/mountain.)

4 new levels and some UI improvements. Thanks for all the encouraging feedback so far :)

More updates to come in the near future.

I’ve been trying to run pico-8 carts on a new Anbernic RG40xx cube handheld device and although they run they crash when trying to access the menu commands (and some also crash mid game). The message reported is ‘NO CARTS FOUND! PLACE P8 CARTS IN SDMC:/P8CARTS/‘

I have installed the pico-8 raspberry pi files and tried just about every permutation of folder but nothing fixes the problem because it seems the pre installed pico runtime ‘fake08’ takes over (I. Hope this makes sense). I have tried removing this program but it is reinstalled every time I start the device. Any ideas on how I can fix this?

After some feedback, I have redesigned slopes and one certain feature (that was not well received) and added 15 new levels! Now including world 4, and a bonus world with 5 challenging levels! Glof is still unfinished, however I am ready to move onto a new project, but if you have any suggestions still drop them here!

My Pico-8 demake of Frogger (1981 Konami)
trying to keep the original arcade game vibes and look&feel.
I actually finished it like one year ago lol and quite quickly; in one week the core of the game was there but took quite some time for tweaking difficulty ramp, few touches here and there. I initially imagined adding some Prog music to give some sense to the title but finally opted asking @Trog and his son to prepare 7 of the 26 random tunes the original game has, along with the main theme.
There are 15 level layouts, increasing enemies (snakes and otters). The timer is actually 60 seconds instead of the 30 secs, thus making the remaining time bonus easier to get.
