Bug occurred on Safari browser, mobile operating system is iOS 26.1.
When playing a PICO-8 cartridge via BBS webplayer on touchscreens, if I turn to other apps or accidentally lock the screen and re-enter the player but leave the game open, the webplayer's sound will automatically off.
More importantly, after so when entering another cartridge, the sound option will be toggled to off however I've set the button (that can be seen by the upper-left loudspeaker button and the 4 musical notes on startup), and sometimes the key inputs are not fed in. The latter could be temporarily resolved by going to the tablist and back within a sec, but still the input freeze could be a disaster especially on some action games.

A challenging dashless celeste mod with unique theming. Made in 1 month for ccmas 2025. Special thanks to Arumin, Vei, Snek, Petra, and Swordy.
There are 13 berries and no secrets. I wouldn't worry too much about getting 100% on your first playthrough, the berries get pretty hard. First person to beat my 100% PB of 1:47 gets 100 gamer points.
No speed tech required!

PICO POOL:
how to play:
when you run the game, click in the direction you want to hit the ball.
your goal is to get as many balls in in a row as possible
if you run out of hits (you have 3 each level) then you lose
if you get the white ball in one of the holes then you loose
NOTES:
the farther you bring the pointer from the ball, the harder the hit.
after one hit, you cant hit again until the white ball stops.
DISCLAIMERS:
I am only 14, so dont expect it to be that good, im really really bad at pixel art, I did my best
I hope you enjoy :D

I wanted to create something nice looking for the Christmas season. So I created a simple Christmas tree program.
There is no gameplay, it is just there to look nice and maybe be calming.
You can press X to redistribute the ornaments or press Z to toggle between stars and snow.
Feel free to share any feedback and I might improve it.

Holiday string lights for your Picotron desktop! Light on CPU, doesn't obstruct mouse clicks. Launch it again to open the settings dialog which lets you quit the application (may require unsandboxing for this to work).
Inspired by an old Windows 95 program called Holiday Lights.
Season's Greetings!

Climb to the top of Tinker Tower in the second Celeste Classic mod to be made with Picotron!
Made by ooooggll (me) for the "12 Days of CChristmas" event.
The music is a remix of "Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailor Rich Man Poor Man Beggar Man Thief" by Radiohead.
Special thanks to my brother for helping me with a couple of sprites.
Inspired by Meep's mods, especially Rosetta and True North.
Some instruments used are from Abledbody and Packbats' instrument packs.
There are secrets, I hope you can find them :)

This is a demo cartridge to show how the "720p scaler" option in Settings.p64 works, as well as showing display bounds for those players using it. Also has the same for those players on a Steam Deck who are scaling Picotron to fill the display's extra vertical space without stretching.

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 Boogey Man (A Nightmare Before Christmas)
You, an unlucky elf, have gotten yourself onto the naughty list! You hastily strike a deal with Santa to get back on to the nice list. You have to beat him and his friends in Blackjack!
Try your luck in...

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.

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!

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....
