Floppy Wings 😎
This is a simple Flappy Bird clone.
The speed increases every 5 points, and the gap decreases every 3 points.
How far can you get?

This is the first game i have made in pico8. I know that the code is really messy, and most of the variables are in swedish so good luck making remixes!
If you win a round, you get to keep the money you earned, if you lose the round you dont get to keep them. After each round you win, you have the ability to buy upgrades. There are also a few pick-ups during the rounds
The enemy gets faster and faster!
The controls are pretty self explanatory, move the arrows to steer the paddle

I'm excited to share the first public version of Pico-Saga, my new turn-based tactical RPG. My goal was to create a game with deep strategic gameplay, like Fire Emblem, but in a highly replayable, bite-sized format that you can enjoy daily.
Every map is procedurally generated, offering a unique tactical puzzle each time you play. This is an early release, and the unit stats and overall balance could definitely use some fine-tuning. I would be incredibly grateful for playtesters to share their opinions and help shape the game's future. Please give it a try and let me know what you think!

Overworld:
- Arrow Keys: Move cursor
CKey: Select unit/castle

Story
You want to join the kingdom’s knights, but first you'll have to prove yourself.
Luckily, you won't have to wait for a calamity to endanger the world just so you can rescue everyone.
Instead, you have to go through a short dungeon the knights have prepared for new recruits.
Behind the scenes
Looks like I finally finished my first game. ^^
Unfortunately, I also had to cut some content because I didn’t expect to reach the token limit on my first game.
Long story short.
The room with the last key was originally supposed to have a ladder that led to a room not shown on the map.
It would have featured a short fight against two of the eyes in a tight space.
After beating them, there would have been another ladder leading to the room where you meet the eyes for the first time.
The boss also got the short end of the stick.
He was supposed to actually move around.
For example, getting closer to the player as his health got lower.
Also, like the title states, this is supposed to be the start of a series of games.
Basically, in my attempt to learn programming, I'll try to make some games with different mechanics and loosely connect them through a story.
Who knows?
The next one might end up a platformer.
As long as my laziness doesn't get in the way. 😅
Last but not least, thanks for taking the time to give my game a try.
Since it’s my first game, I’d really appreciate any constructive criticism.

Story
Du willst den Rittern des Königreichs beitreten, aber zuerst musst du dich beweisen.
Zum Glück musst du nicht warten, bis eine Katastrophe die Welt in Gefahr bringt, nur um alle zu retten.
Stattdessen musst du dich nur durch einen kleinen Dungeon, den die Ritter für neue Rekruten vorbereitet haben, durchschlagen.
Hinter den Kulissen
Sieht so aus, als hätte ich mein erstes Spiel endlich fertig. ^^
Leider musste ich auch einige Inhalte streichen, da ich nicht damit gerechnet hatte, das Token-Limit gleich bei meinem ersten Spiel zu erreichen.
Kurz gesagt.
Der Raum mit dem letzten Schlüssel sollte ursprünglich eine Leiter haben, die zu einem Raum führte, der nicht auf der Karte eingezeichnet war.
Dort hätte es einen kurzen Kampf gegen zwei der Augen auf engstem Raum gegeben.
Nachdem man sie besiegt hatte, hätte eine weitere Leiter zu dem Raum geführt, in dem man den Augen zum ersten Mal begegnet ist.
Der Boss war auch anders geplant.
Er sollte sich eigentlich bewegen.
Beispielsweise näher an den Spieler herankommen, wenn seine Gesundheit zur Neige geht.
Wie der Titel schon sagt, soll dies der Beginn einer Spielereihe sein.
Im Grunde werde ich, während ich versuche Programmieren zu lernen, versuchen einige Spiele mit unterschiedlichen Spielmechaniken zu entwickeln und sie lose durch eine Geschichte zu verbinden.
Wer weiß?
Das nächste könnte ein Plattformspiel werden.
Solange mir meine Faulheit nicht in die Quere kommt. 😅
Und zu guter Letzt: Danke, dass du dir die Zeit genommen hast, mein Spiel anzuschauen.
Da es mein erstes Spiel ist, wäre ich für konstruktive Kritik sehr dankbar.

Hello again, I am a complete beginner for those who didn't see my previous post. Been trying to create my own functions to perform certain tasks, but having trouble. In this case I was trying to make functions that could draw and move a player, in a way where I could substitute in different players using the brackets at the end of the function. However when I run this I'm just getting a black screen - so I'm guessing something wrong with the draw function? Would appreciate if anyone can point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance for any responses!
my code:
function _init()
--players
jim={
sprite=1,
x=63,
y=63,
w=1,
h=1
}
jon={
sprite=2,
x=63,
y=63,
w=1,
h=1
}
end
function _update()
cls()
move(jim)
end
function _draw()
drawplayer(jim)
end
function move(player)
if btn(➡️) then player.x+=1 end
if btn(⬅️) then player.x-=1 end
if btn(⬆️) then player.y-=1 end
if btn(⬇️) then player.y+=1 end
end
function drawplayer(player)
spr(player.sprite,player.x,player.w,player.h)
end

How to Play
Use the left and right buttons to move the clown, and catch the balls before they hit the ground!
Balls will turn from red to green to blue, and then the clown will have a chance to launch them into the air for bonus points!
Launch enough balls into the air to activate a bonus round! Catch as many as you can, but don't worry about dropping any! After the bonus round, the game will get slightly faster!

MyMinUI
I've just discovered MyMinUI, a custom firmware for my original RG 35XX... that has native PICO-8!
Note: MyMinUI is a fork of MinUI, a custom firmware much more people know about. MyMinUI is also available for some other handhelds: Miyoo Mini (and Plus), SJGAM M21 and GameConsole R36s.
Instalation
If you want to install MyMinUI on a SD card and try it for yourself, I have some tips for you. First, grab the latest release and unzip it (don't delete the zip file, you will need it).
The instalation is pretty standard custom firmware stuff, and is well documented in the README.txt file. If you have any doubts, leave a comment below and I will try to help.
Now, for my tips... We will change a few files in your SD card - same card and partition where you copied some files from PICO-8 (Raspberry Pi's version) during the instalation process.

--Flappy Bird Game Test--
--------- My first Pico-8 game ---------
controls:
UP - Flap
X - Restart
I created the game loop of this game by following a PDF tutorial resource created by Dylan Bennett and posted on his itch.io
Dylan Bennett - Gamedev_with_PICO-8_1
description
This game was a quick one day project where I focussed on learning the basics of Pico8 development and the Lua programming language to make a game!
I used the PDF tutorial to create the basic framework of the game then remixed it with original code and ideas such as the parallax cave background, water, player sprite, snow particles, and other changes.
