FUNCTIONALITY:
It's essentially just basic minesweeper, but you can customize the map width, height, and the density of mines (to make it more or less difficult).
CONTROLS:
For menu navigation, use arrow keys to scroll up and down and change the setting.
For playing the game, left click tiles to reveal them, and right click tiles to flag them as mines.
Enjoy :)

The Mandate is my entry for the Junior Accelerator Game Jam.
A minimalist political farce where power is exercised through routine decisions, silence is currency, and outcomes are managed rather than caused.
Everything is handled from the safety of your office. You are never seen, never touched, and never held responsible.
Grid Survival 🧩⚔️🏚️
A match-3 village builder and combat survival game for PICO-8
What is it?
Grid Survival is a compact puzzle-survival game built for PICO-8.
By day, you match tiles to gather materials and grow your village.
By night, those same matches become combat actions used to defend yourself against approaching enemies.
It’s designed around a single idea: your puzzle skill is your survival skill.
How many days will you survive?
Core Loop
-
Match tiles to gain resources or trigger combat effects
-
Meet upgrade requirements to auto-build structures
-
Survive the night using match-driven combat
- Enter the next day stronger and more complex

This is our submission to Shroom Jam 2025. A washed-up TV dinner mascot falls asleep in front of the TV and embarks on a wild golf-style puzzle-platforming adventure.
This was our first time partaking in a game jam and we had a ton of fun. We were heavily inspired by our favorite UFO 50 games, specifically Campanella and Pin Golf (with a hint of Waldorf), and we found that combining aspects of each created a game play experience that we hadn't encountered before. Story-wise, Ryan became violently ill with the flu the moment the jam theme was announced - the resulting story is a wonderful product of his fever dreams.
We hope you enjoy!

👻 What is “BataGacha!”?
Ghosts are trying to sneak in through the doors!
Your only task is simple:
Keep closing them as fast as you can!
🎮 Controls
You have three buttons to control the doors:
- ⬅ Left — Close the door
- ⬇ Down — Lock the door
- ➡ Right — Move to the next door
(Only possible when the current door is locked!)

⏱ Game Modes
🔥 Speed Mode
A quick challenge.
You have 30 seconds to score as much as you can.
You reached the bottom of the cave but the waters are rising so it's time to go. You have 20 seconds to find a way out and collect as much gold as you can on the way. Your torch batteries are running out so pick up some more if you can. The bats and spiders don't bite but they will slow you down if you get in their way.
You score points for gold collected and the distance between start point and exit. You lose points for getting hit by enemies. There's also a bonus available if you can keep the torch from running out. Once you've completed one start point you'll move on to the next but it's all the same map.

So if you use the Numpad on a cart from the Desktop app, PC or Mac, it eats the "8" key.
Works fine on webpage.
Example:
https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=153492
Download cart MAD SCIENTIST. Run.
If you type to type 8 on the numpad, doesn't work. For multiple folks (me, Bikibird). NumLock didn't solve the problem.
Doriencey reports 2 4 6 and 8 didn't work on AZERTY keyboard.
Can send un-Shrunken code if you need it. I get the keys with:
_key=stat(31)
If that matters....

THE MISSING SCIENTIST
A brilliant scientist working in a remote location, conducting a top secret experiment for the Futurion Corporation, started sending more frantic and more unhinged messages. Then suddenly, he stopped communicating.
Codenamed Project Glow Worm, his work was at the edge of science. Futurion got backing by various governments on thought-exercise projects related to hyperdrive, time travel, advanced weaponry, and other concepts. All concluded and results secretive. But this new work was not theoretical -- they BUILT something.
YOUR JOB

map_ext includes two functions (mset_ext and mget_ext) that allow for set/get of tiles larger than 8x8 pixels/1x1 tiles.
I wrote these functions to match the format of the built-in mset/mget/spr functions. Basically, mset_ext() is like mset() merged with spr(), but it sets the map tiles instead of needing to be drawn separately each frame.
This cart includes a simple demo that shows a 2x2 sprite and a 4x4 one, but the code should work with any number of dimensions. If you run into any issues or have any ideas/requests for this code, please let me know.
