This is our take on the popular card game "Set", which is a puzzle game about making unique combinations of cards. This interpretation is meant to be a relaxing experience, aimed at helping the user hone their skills.
You can read more about Set here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_(card_game)
There are 81 unique cards in the deck. Each card has four features, which vary across the following characteristics:
Symbol: Diamond, Pill, or Squiggle
Number of Symbols: 1, 2, or 3
Symbol Color: Green, Red, or Purple
Symbol Shading: Filled, Empty, or Striped
A set is made by selecting 3 cards, and that set is valid if each feature for each card is all the same, or all different.
Just a silly thing I'm working on as a way to teach myself.
So, I've been working on this for a few days now and so far I'm pretty happy with what I have so far. There's plenty more I want to do but I've made a lot of changes so it's time to upload the new cart.
If you have followed any SHMUP tutorials, you might recognize some of the things I'm doing here.
I have added more enemies and a powerup item that restores 100HP. Currently the game is much more chaotic and difficult but I think it's still well within the realm of playable.
Update: I've just uploaded a new version with an additional powerup that gives the player better firepower for a limited time. Having played the game with this addition I feel like the timing for getting the powerup and losing it again are fairly acceptable. The gameplay is still challenging, but not as bad/chaotic as it was in the last version.

My first account on PICO-8.. Despite what the post might say, today is January 30, 2026 (get out of here you time travelers, stop looking at my past). I can't wait to actually learn how to use this website properly and make cool short projects.
I love Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Deltarune (you have to believe me, Asriel is The Roaring Knight, time travelers this aged perfectly didn't it?)

This is a demake of my game Parapath which is a digital version of the board game Quoridor. First thing i've ever made in Pico and it was mostly vibe coded. Im really no good with the pixel art and sound even though I feel like im a decent artist and musician. Takes a lot of creativity to work with such restraints. I commend everyone who excels on this platform. I have gotten feed back all over about the AI being too easy or too tough. -Snozzberry

Help, I’m a beginner. I got an error on line 36 while copying the code below. I don’t know what to modify. Can someone please help me take a look?
function _init()
exps={}
clrs={5,9,10,7}
end
function _update()
for p in all(exps) do
p.x+=p.spdx
p.y+=p.spdy
p.scale-=.1
p.l-=1
p.c=flr(p,l)
if p.l<=0 then del(exps,p) end
end
if btn(❎)then
xp=rnd(128)
yp=rnd(128)
for i=0,20 do
add(exps,{
