Hey, that's my first game in Pico-8.
I know, it's not good but it incorporates many things and programming skills and tricks so it's an ugly, but still loved, first baby :-).
How to play
- Use arrows to move, X to select.
- Every 2 seconds money and red $ will appear, the more money you collect the more you are slowed down.
- You must put money you collect in the chest which will add them also to the timer.
- You can use chest money to power-up at the shop.

Space Gorp
Build a spaceship in outer space!
Fight Gorp with your ingenuity.
Protect your home, and destroy evil!
- You can weld and cut parts on to your ship and off of your ship.
- You cannot enter a damaged ship before you repair it.
- You get one chance to save your ship so long as you're in it.
- Gorp is coming to get you. What will you do about it?
Controls are explained in-game.
How to play
The code Is basically just a recreation of Andy Sloane's donut.c code just made to work in pico8. I'm still not great when it comes to coding especially 3D rendering, so I'm sure there are tons of stuff that I could have done to make this code run a lot faster. Feel free to comment if there are any problems or improvents that could be made.




Controls
Use the Arrow keys to move.
Z= select/activate
X =menu
Rules
Turn off or on all the lights and get to the elevator as fast as you can. 15 floors, As you beat the game computers will unlock in the lobby for you to use. Dark mode and Hard mode computers make the game harder. Moving on void tiles will kill you as will running into some walls so be careful when the lights are out. You can complete floor 10 in lights off mode in under a minutes if you are quick. Good luck.
Dev
Don't read if you dislike AI. better skip this one.
An entry to pico 1k-jam 2025. Little memory game, test your memory or compete with a friend matching all pairs in the minimum number of tries.
Controls: Cursor + z/x
Both players share controls, active player is identified by cursor color (p1 yellow, p2 orange)
CHANGELOG:
- Cursor wraps vertically and horizontally
- Selecting cards has one color, correct pairs have another. That gives visual cue that you matched a pair correctly

This is my first ever BBS Post
It's a taskbar with a start menu where you can customise the apps in start menu and taskbar seperately, colours, sprites, widgets etc.
Lets you put any file, folders and cartridges into it and it will take their icon based on Picotron's file system (the file sprites are loaded into memory from the system files)
Does not work on the web and does not work unsandboxed as of it's use of system files </3
load #taskbar -u
What is stopping an official wasm port for development from being made? Sure we can get exports to wasm but port development to other systems and evolving oses is going to require hoops. Android hasn't happened but a containerized web version might solve that if there is some way to export p8s and lua.
The 5th annual PICO-8 1K Jam (#Pico1k) has now started! đĨŗ
đ https://itch.io/jam/pico-1k-2025
You have until the end of September to make cool things in PICO-8 (or Picotron)
...by using only 1K (1024) Compressed Bytes of code đī¸
No using of built-in Gfx, Map or Sound data (or external files)
ALL content must be created using code submitted.
It can be a:
đšī¸ Game
đī¸ Demo (Animated or Interactive)
đ ī¸ Tool or Utility
...whatever you can fit within 1KB, basically!
It's a relaxed, non-competitive jam, running for a whole month.
Please refer to the PICO-1K 2025 Jam page for Rules, FAQ & Resources & more info.


Pico Ninja
A demake of Fruit Ninja!
How to play
Press Mouse 1 (left click, or just tap on touchscreen) and slide the little white ball around, to slice the "fruits" before they fall out of sight. Nothing groundbreaking.
Hit detection is a bit wonky; since the game is limited to 60fps, a collision may not register if you slice too fast. I've tried to remedy this by making the fruit check if the pixel at its center is white and thus is colliding with the cursor/trail. It remains jank.
Out of kindness to your ears, I have not tried to create music/sound effects.
Enjoy!
A visual tool to explore files
gui_fm is a really simple file manager for Pico-8.
Use it to explore all folders and files saved on your Pico.
You can enter folders and load saved carts directly from it.
You can even use it to create new folders. Kinda...
To use
load #gui_fm save **filename** run |
Won't work if run directly from the BBS, as sandboxed carts don't have access to the file system.
Choose your input method
Use both controller inputs đŽ or mouse đą.
You can switch input method in the pause menu.
Launch saved carts with a single click...
...and go back to the file manager using the pause menu.
Create new folders
gui_fm streamlines the mkdir command.
Select the option to create a new folder and give it a name.
The console command for creating the folder will be copied to the clipboard.
Create new text files
You can use gui_fm to create new text file as .p8l (.txt won't show up in the file manager).
It's not particularly useful, since they are empty, but you can do it.
Limitations
While it is possible to create new folders and text files, I still don't have a solution for renaming and deleting folders and files.
I'll keep exploring new ideas on how to reach these goals, like the suggestion from @ChazBCook.
If you have any idea on how to make it possible, share it in the comments.
CHANGELOG
1.0:
- Initial release
1.1:
- Added scrolling
- Added mouse controls
- Added menu items:
Open folder in host os,
Go back to root folder,
Change input method - Added breadcrumb to launched cartridges. Go back to gui_fm using the pause menu
- Added warning page if runned in sandbox mode
1.2:
- Added functionality to create new folders
1.3:
- Added functionality to create new text files (.p8l)

Hi y'all!
This is the third version of Pico Pad!! (I made a version 2 but didn't release it lol)
It's not totally finished, but I'm very happy with it now and I think it's about 90% done.
If I release version 4, it'll be the last one.
Controls
- đ žī¸ to delete the last stroke (not a general undo)
- â to toggle the gui
- âŦī¸ and âŦī¸ to change the brush size
- âŦ ī¸ and âĄī¸ to cycle the current tool
Tools:
- Pencil: draws lines
- Bucket: fills background or changes color of a line
- Pull/Front: moves the targeted stroke to the top
- Push/Back: moves the targeted stroke to the bottom
- Eraser: deletes the targeted stroke
