About
This is my first pico8 game after getting into it a couple weeks back. It was a joy re-learning how to dev with such tight restrictions.
This game heavily relies on ECS via PECS for its core, which I think helped a lot to compartmentalize everything and stay organized. In the end it also helped to reduce token count drastically, which I didn't expect. All the entity definition was done up front together(init_ents), allowing them to be made via string splitting.

This is an old project I uploaded to Itch a while ago. I polished it a bit and added a day and night cycle. The objective of the game is to grow a tree!

Hi,
this is my second upload.
Zabformer is a very basic platformer demo. I made the platform collisions and jump logic myself and to put it lightly, they aren't very efficient.
In the future I would like to expand this game into infinite platformer, but in order to do that I would need to modify the code for scalability. I will come back to this project when I get better at coding.
Controls:
Up - jump (press duration increases jump power)
X - reset (only on end screen)
Have fun guys!

Hi everyone!
This is the first game I made in PICO-8 that I was proud of. The first version didn't use any sprites and had even less sound effects. After making the game a bit better looking(it is still very basic) I think it is worth sharing.
Target Practice as the name suggest is a game about shooting targets.
When you hit a target you get one point and extra time.
When the time runs out - game over.
The goal is to get the highest score possible within the time limit.
Controls:
Up - go up
Down - go down
X - shoot
Z - restart on game over
The game is really simple, but I hope you will enjoy it!

The theme for the Stop Killing Games Game Jam was ‘Limited Lifetime’ so I added a twist to the classic Snake game.
The tail slowly decays over time, so eating not only makes you grow, it keeps you alive!
Wait too long without eating and your tail starts to fall off, leaving hazards behind. Try eating one and you’ll decay even faster!
Touching your own tail doesn’t mean game over but you'll cut right though it!
Let me know what's your highest score

Six Weeks Notice
“A low-lift offboarding experience at scale.”
You gave two weeks.
Leadership countered with six.
Now you’re deep in your strategic exit phase—navigating stakeholder expectations, optimizing legacy transfer impact, and trying not to cry into your corporate-issued mug.
This 1-bit desk simulator captures the emotional dissonance of pretending to care while already mentally gone.
Based on a true story.

Hello!
This is a special version dedicated to the latest mini-game in my first game "Keep the Mood On" (https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=keep_the_mood_on-0)
Your mission: land the aircraft as smoothly and as precisely as possible using the cockpit instruments — especially the glide slope.
After each landing, you'll receive a score — and of course, your goal is to get the highest one!
The higher the difficulty you choose, the more turbulence will shake the aircraft... but the better your difficulty bonus will be in the final score calculation.
Hope the game brings you lots of fun!

A Dodger Mod
original
dodger is by shirtman, and it's their first ever game on pico8. go show them some love: Dodger by shirtman
intro
dodge bullet :o (but now its deltarune)
features
- an original cover of Rude Buster from Deltarune
- added my classic stuff like themes
- new gamemode that slows down the player to raise difficulty
- grazing (from deltarune) has been added
- you can now hold (x) to slow down for precision
- infinite waves (though good luck surviving that long)
controls
the main menu shows it off
conclusion
I am once again telling you to GO PLAY THE ORIGINAL CART PLEASE

Overview
Hello again, everyone! I've added another fun little work-in-progress toy to my larger space exploration epic to go along with my Galaxy Generator and Endless Ships! toys. This one I'm calling Station Run!, as it's your basic run-and-gun platformer. Highlights of this toy include procedurally-generated levels and fast, fluid player controls.
Your objective is simple: travel down through all ten levels on a randomly-generated space station to claim victory. Keep running into robots and getting shot by other people to claim defeat.

A simple complex function plotter. Now with webplayer support!
Controls
Press <- or -> to cycle through functions, P to change function sets, N to recolour magnitudes, C to toggle between greyscale and colour modes, and X to toggle between phase and magnitude.
Up and down zooms in and out, / resets the zoom, + and - change the colouring scale, and 0 resets it.
Use the WASD keys to pan the camera around.
Functions
- All functions give results in polar (for graphing)
Example functions (exmp)
- z^2 - 1/4 A binomial with poles at z = 1/2 and z = -1/2
- (z^2+0.25)/(z^2-0.25) A rational function with poles z = 1/2, z = -1/2, z = i/2 and z = -i/2
- e^(e^z) Exponential of an exponential
- e^(1/z) Has an essential singularity at z = 0, zooming in shows that it hits every value in C except 0 (see Great Picard's Theorem)
Trigonometric and complex functions (trig)
- Sine, cosine and tangent functions (sin, cos, tan) (note that along the imaginary axis, they correspond to i.sinh, cosh and i.tanh)
- Exponential (e^x)
- Real and imaginary parts (Re and Im)
- Identity and complex conjugate (z and z-star)
- Absolute value and argument (abs and arg) (note that the branch cuts for arg are at 0 and 2.pi)
Monomial and inverse monomial functions (poly)
- z^n for all positive integral n (note the zero of degree n)
- z^0
- z^n for all negative integral n (note the pole of degree -n)
Constant functions (const)
- 1, i, -1 and -i (for calibration)
Issues
- When looking at a negative power, renormalizing will blow the colour scale to an absurd proportion. Eventually, non-linear colouring/shading will be added to fix this.

This is my first ever game made inside Pico-8!
How To Play
Controls: Up/Down/Left/Right to move.
You play as the Yellow Square. Earn score by collecting Orbs. For every 5 score, A red square will spawn in the middle and bounce off the borders of the screen. The goal of the game is to collect as many Orbs as you can without touching the red squares.
Some Development Backstory
I originally wanted my first Pico-8 game to be a basic platformer. I then proceeded to find out the hard way just how difficult that was for someone just starting out and learning the ropes of the engine. I had to make something a bit simpler.

Don't mind the code quality, I just wanted to make this idea as quickly as possible. I've always loved cursed UI ideas and thought it would be really funny to have a volume slider where you dragged the box while the slider stayed in place, and so here it is.

Small little puzzle game using my old algorithm for generating levels
- Move with arrows
- press X to "undo"
- try to get to the treasurechest
