Perfect 100
A grid hopping game. Fill the grid counting from 0 to 99.
The goal of the game is to fill in the cells of the grid with numbers going from 0 to 99 to form a Perfect matrix of 100. The rules are simple: move vertical, horizontal or diagonal skipping 2 cells (horizontal or vertical) or 1 cell (diagonal).
The green cursor lets you select your next move. Press the 1st button to cycle between choices, press the 2nd button to confirm the move.
Restart the game if you get stuck and can't move.
Can you reach 99? :P
I made this for the #TweetTweetJam 10 on May 2025. It is written in Pico-8 and the code is 500 characters long. Credit to https://thisismypassport.github.io/shrinko8/ for an excellent tool to shrink the code.

Hello
I am running Picotron in full screen mode on Arch Linux with a window manager (i3), and when I try to move the mouse to another window located on my secondary monitor, it teleports the cursor back to the center of the Picotron window.
This isn't a huge deal, and I don't know if it can be fixed, but it's inconvenient enough that I figured I'd share it here.

Hello, I'm making a small clock and date app, It's already on my widget tray as a widget, I'd like to be able to have it on the corner of my desktop when starting up, I found it is done by modifying startup.lua, is there a way to do that and save the changes?

Hello,
I have painted the wrong area of the map editor and destroyed a previously made level. Luckily I do have a backup of an older file. How do I copy a 16x16 map editor area from one cart to another cart ?

Thank you to everyone who gave some feedback! I have reworked some of the levels and added a 5th world to explore! Ignoring potential bugs, this is the first full release of GLOF! I hope you have as much fun as I did making it. This has been one of the largest creative projects of my life and I'm excited to create more pico-8 games in the future <3
Play GLOF here!
If you get to the end of GLOF, I'd love to hear your thoughts. I'd also love to see who ends up getting the best time/lowest stroke count!

A SIDE-SCROLLING BLAST FROM THE PAST
Based on the original Amiga classic I loved playing as a kid, this is my tribute to a game that left a serious impression. Getting into PICO-8 lit a fire, and rebuilding this classic was my way of seeing how far I could take it. So fire it up, and enjoy a compact, side-scrolling shooter where you pilot a bipedal mech, blast enemies to bits, and try not to overheat. Built entirely in PICO-8. Same spirit, smaller footprint.
HOW TO PLAY
The game is perfectly playable with a controller, but I recommend playing it with keyboard and mouse, just as the developers originally intended.

Operation: Retrieval is a short horror game in which what you can't see can't hurt you. As a drone operator, pilot your drone through the forbidden zone and collect 5 datapoints to upload to central command. The drone's camera flash is your only tool for visibility, but beware! Light attracts unwanted attention in the forbidden zone...
Originally just a prototype for an upcoming university project, I decided to flesh it out into a proper small game, since working with PICO-8 is just so much fun :D
Arrow keys: movement
V/X/M: trigger flash

You are a robot. You must find the kitten.
Here is a short port of robotfindskitten to PICO-8! Use the arrow keys to move around and find the kitten. Reset the screen with x or z.
