Catch as many fruits and items as you can before your lives run out.

Story
You wake up in the middle of the night and realize something strange is happening outside. Fruits are endlessly falling from the sky. You rush outside, grab a basket, and start catching them. Somehow, you are able to freeze time and stop fruits mid-air for a few seconds to help you keep up the pace. If you drop a fruit, you lose a life — lose all of them and the game is over. Fortunately, you can refill both your lives and your super power.

I've noticed in Picotron and in cartridges exported from recent versions of Picotron, sometimes btnp doesn't register, whether from keyboard or gamepad. This is a random occurrence for all buttons as far as I'm aware.
It seems to be tied to processing. Once stat(1) goes up to .9, it starts dropping inputs, which you can see in the attached cart.

Survive the endless dungeon! Dodge enemies, collect coins, and use powerful abilities in this fast-paced PICO-8 arcade runner.
This is the first video game I’ve ever programmed in my life.
For once, I followed the “make small games” advice, and here I am —
with a game that, even if it’s small and a bit silly, actually feels finished haha.
I hope you share your high scores and feedback,
and that you manage to reach level 3 :D
Features
- Fast-paced arcade action
- Multiple enemy types with unique behaviors
(ghosts, slimes, skeletons, beholders, thieves, and more!) - Random power-ups
(Coin Power, Clear Screen, Full Heal) - Dynamic difficulty that scales with your score
The goal? Survive and get more points than your friends!

Using the p8scii outline code (\^o) with decoration characters (\vx) causes a visual issue, as all characters are outlined one after another:
The expected result should correspond to the "print 9 times" trick, where the whole text is outlined at once:

Hi. I recently posted a new cartridge in Releases for poprocks, but it is not showing up in the releases cartridges list, or in Splore.
Is there something special I need to do to achieve this?
Thank you

A remake/demake of Pitfall!, originally released for Atari 2600 in 1982 by Activision.
You are deep in the recesses of a forbidden jungle — an unforgiving place few explorers ever survive. But you've got courage, because you’re with Pitfall Harry, the world famous jungle explorer and fortune hunter extraordinaire. The lure of hidden treasures draws you and Harry deeper and deeper into the bush.
The goal of the game - collect as many treasures as possible.

I use an auxiliary cart to develop the game, but every time I have to manually copy the map from another cart in Notepad.Is there a way to copy the map from another cart into my cart by running my cart?

This is a demo game I made for a 2 week workshop for my local library, while running the class and debugging.
The class was based on LazyDev's basic shmup tutorial for "Cherry Bomb".
Apologies for the basic post, popped itg up on a lunchbreak so the next class can compete for highscores!

This is Poprocks - an asteroids-style multi-directional shooter with an "infinite" play area.
The lines around your ship point at nearby enemies to help you find them. Use your engines by pressing UP. Fire with Z, turn left and right with the left and right arrow keys, and use a (limited supply) of shields by pressing DOWN.
New enemies get added every time you clear a level. Kill enemies in quick succession to increase your multiplier and get really high scores.
There is a tutorial available if you press X on the start menu instead of Z
I wrote this to try out userdata for particle engines, got distracted using colortables to make a directional lighting effect that works on individual sprites, and then ended up building the game you see here.

So for my current project I'm trying to create a transition effect where rotating snowflakes fill the screen.
I'm mostly where I want to be, as the snowflakes sweep across the screen and animate. However I really want the animation of each snowflake to start when it appears, so that they are all rotating at different times. As you can see currently, the snowflakes fill the screen, then they all start animating simultaneously. I thought embedding the animation timer inside each snowflake object would fix this but it doesn't seem to have made any difference. I would also like if the snowflakes swept across the screen more gradually but that's a less pressing issue. Below is all the code relating to this transition. Any help or thoughts are much appreciated!!
function inittrans()
transflakes={}
transition=true
transflakeadder=0
transtimer=5
end
function updatetrans()
for flake in all(transflakes)
do
flake:anim()
end
if transition==true
then
transflakeadder+=1
for xpos=0,transflakeadder do
for ypos=0,transflakeadder do
add(transflakes,{
sp=192,
animtimer=10,
animtimerreset=10,
x=15xpos-2,
y=15ypos-2,
anim=function(self)
self.animtimer-=1
if self.animtimer<0
then if
self.sp==192 then self.sp+=2
self.animtimer=self.animtimerreset
elseif
self.sp==194 then self.sp-=2
self.animtimer=self.animtimerreset
end
self.animtimer=self.animtimerreset
end
end
})
if transflakeadder>9 then
transition=false
end
end
end
end
end --end of function
function drawtrans()
cls(1)
for flake in all(transflakes)
do
spr(flake.sp,flake.x,flake.y,2,2)
end
end
