Hello! I have a sneak-peak to show my upcoming game: Snail's Gold 2. It's entirely map based, 0 tutorials used, all me. (Unlike the first game.) So how it works, and why you can't move down on some tiles, and why there's no gravity, and why you can't do some stuff when walking, is you are only able to walk forward on air tiles and go down on ladder tiles.
I haven't been working on this for a while, but I think it's time to work on it again.

WARNING: Contains flashing. Also this is not a game.
Controls:
- X to speed up text and move to next scene.
- Left/right arrows to move between scenes.
I became interested in Greek myths and thought I'd turn the stories into some pico-8 carts. I first started with 150 scenes but it was too big. I settled for just under 90 scenes with some sacrifices made around the code generated graphics.

Warning
This tool overwrites saves from other carts. Make sure you know what you are doing.
Controls
Instructions on which keys or buttons to press are displayed on screen at all times.
Note: pause menu is supressed in keyboard mode, hold ENTER or P for a second to display it.
Context
- PICO-8 executables save cartdata as text files in the cdata folder.
- BBS javascript, on the other hand, is limited to your browser's internal storage, which is a lot less convenient for users to access directly.
Purpose
This tool allows you to easily transfer your progress between PICO-8 installations, particularly from/to the BBS. It also allows you to edit your saves on the fly.

Hello everyone! I just started learning PICO-8 and decided to make chess (why not?). Would appreciate any feedback!

Still a lot of work to do.
Heavily inspired by https://adarkroom.doublespeakgames.com/

This is my first attempt at making a game. I hope you like it and that it is a bit of fun.
You're an RA going through 4 nights of chaotic duty. You'll encounter tons to resolve, but also you can stop-by resident rooms to prevent issues for a bit, recharge your energy at your RA room so you don't become exhausted, and stomp/slide to kill bugs as you make your way through the building. There was definite inspiration from fix-it felix jr. but the came is very much different and built from the ground up. Watch out for the invincible boss at the end that can only be defeated by hosting events!
If you beat the game, you'll get a new unlockable character.
edit:
10/24/2025 - v2.3 released with new tutorial, updated mechanics, and hardcore mode, plus some bug fixes specifically on the unlockable character

Title. I really like Fennel, it's been really fun to work with something with different paradigms and it knocks things out of the park with lot of its stated goals. I hate normal Lua but for some reason working in Fennel is way more fun.

I'd like to include something that sounds at least approximately like vocals. It doesn't need to be particularly intelligible aside from hearing sharp sounds that might be "k" or "c" or "x" and vowel sounds.
Is this possible in Picotron? Heck, is this possible in PICO-8? I own PICO-8 already, but I've played with TIC-80 and the larger screen and defaulting to full keyboard+mouse being available kinda slaps. Picotron seems a lot nicer in comparison, though, and it having the capability to do something-like-vocals might be the final point in favor of being irresponsible with my money. :P
(For reference, I want to demake Patapon, or at least make something vaguely similar.)

I loved the experience to try, fail, success on this fantasy code

Was playing around with isometric voxels and got a little side tracked. Thought it would be fun to put out a little visualizer toy to play with.
Press o/c to to open the settings, and arrows to navigate.
The settings are unlabelled so have fun discovering what they do!

Importing a .png spritesheet with the new 0.2.1 version doesn't seem to work as before. Some of the transparent pixels are being considered solid and/or some pixels are doubled in size.
In this 16x16 spritesheet all the cells are read as 17 pixels because of the color aberration:

DCP - Dont Crush the Plane
Is my first game created in my entire life.
What is DCP
Is a simple game that you control a airplane that needs to reach in the end of phase.
In DCP, you have 3 phases. A day phase, Night phase and Candy world phase.
just be sure if you will not get a charged cloud like this

[8x8] |
How works ?
Is simples, you only move the arrows up and down to move the airplane, and Z or X to interact with menus.

When setting up a window for an app, you can set pixels to be transparent, so the background shows through. This allows us to have simple on/off transparency, but it does not allow us to blend colours and have translucent windows. My suggestion is to let the cart give the window a colour table. This would be applied before drawing the window and removed afterwards, and it would let the window blend with the background.
