A little bit early, but here is my new Year's card for 2026.
Comparing with the cards from previous years, it feels that I'm slowly drifting away from sizecoding, and more into small games.
This time you can even interact with the card! Press X to launch more fireworks, press left and right to shake the board.
Feel free to hack this and send to your friends!

Netherworld Tactics
A tiny tactical RPG prototype inspired by Disgaea.
About
Turn-based tactics on a randomized isometric grid. Move your characters, queue up attacks, then execute your plan all at once. Reach the exit gate or clear the entire floor, it's your call.
If you've played Disgaea or Fire Emblem, you'll feel at home. If not, it's pretty simple: move units, hit enemies, don't die.
Controls
| Button | Select Phase | Move Phase | Target Phase |
|---|---|---|---|
| ⬅️➡️⬆️⬇️ | Move cursor | Move cursor | Cycle targets |

The sunset is fading, and the night sky is beginning to rise. We take three steps to the right, completing another circle.
My submission to the 2025 Celeste Classic Advent Calendar.
Playtesters: złodziej, BebtheBeb, yellowtyper. Thank you!
My first attempt at a lot of things. No celeste tech knowledge required except (kinda) for one ending. Inspired by Regressor's Tale of Cultivation and Thich Nhat Hanh

WARNING: AUDIO PLAYS AT FULL VOLUME!
I've assembled what I thought would be the most basic test of streaming PCM audio to the "serial port" 0x808: generating a sine wave and playing it in "real time" (the sample code uses a buffer of 512 bytes). When you run the attached cartridge, you'll hear the sine wave as well as a prominent alias. To make the alias more clear, press and hold the UP button; the sine wave will increase in frequency while the alias simultaneously drops in frequency.
I don't believe this is an issue of audio buffer size or timing. I'm aware that the PICO-8 sin() function gives decimal results in the interval [-1, 1] and the serial port 0x808 expects an unsigned 8-bit sample, so I wrote a small function to scale the sin() output to the integer range

Adding some good games to the list that are chill, don't require quick reflexes, and can be easily played on a mobile device with a touch screen. I am sure I missed some good titles, so feel free to add in the comments below. Lesser-known games are certainly welcome.

I copied a sprite using ctrl-c. But later when I pasted it, "ctrl-v" stopped working. It reminded me "no sprites marked for moving". But it works properly when I use ctrl-x.

Fireside Carols — A Cozy Holiday Music Box
Fireside Carols is a tiny seasonal music box scene: a calm winter night, a crackling campfire, falling snow, and a few classic carols to enjoy. ✨
There’s no goal or timer — just relax, flip through songs, and watch the light from the fire dance across the snowman and Christmas tree. Pause the music and the fire cools into embers… even the title letters begin to freeze over!
Features
- A winter diorama packed into a single PICO-8 cartridge
- Four traditional carols to choose from
- Warm dynamic lighting synced to music playback
- Snowfall, shooting stars, chimney smoke & animated fire particles
