Hello, everyone!
I’ve created a Steam store page for my game, NUMBAKO Steam edition!
URL : https://store.steampowered.com/app/4663090/NUMBAKO/
Since NUMBAKO is a competitive puzzle game, I decided to release it on Steam.
One big reason was that I felt it would be much more exciting if people could play it online.
I hope this can be helpful for anyone considering releasing a pico-8 game on Steam in the future.
Because of the NDA, I can’t say much about SteamWorks in detail, but enabling online multiplayer was very simple.
In my case, all I had to do in SteamWorks was enable Remote Play Together.
Steam provides a system that lets local multiplayer games be played online.
So if your game supports local two-player play, players can use screen sharing to play with friends online.
In other words, if your game already supports “plug in another controller for two-player play,” you may already have a simple path to online multiplayer.

Hi,
I made a little tool easy to reuse and easy to modify for virtual keyboards !
Anta's pico keyboard
Anta's pico keyboard is a tool representing a basic virtual keyboard in pico8 easy to handle and for the cost of 351 tokens if used as is.
It can be used like a library and is easy to modify the vkey_draw() function to fit your style, that will make you free of 65 tokens.
compared to devkit keyboard, the virtual keyboard allow devices that don't have a keyboard like phones to still play the game with only the basic inputs from pico8.
tools like that may exist, but I found it funnier to make my own and recreate the wheel, by also making it easy to port on different projects

Play as a bee to rebuild the forest, but beware of the lumberjacks that are cutting down your precious trees!
Hover over tiles with flowers to pollinate them and begin growing your trees. Doing so will collect nectar. Collect 5 nectar to create 1 honey. Once you have 5 honey, you can initiate a swarm and attack the lumberjacks.
Once you've rebuilt the forest, you win the game!

A little puzzle game about my Mischievous pug, Poptart. It's also my first (finished) pico 8 game! My dad helped me with some of the code but I did the art, idea, logic, design and some of the code too! (I also wrote the end of level messages)

I used to be fascinated with the game Vis-à-Vis. The board game with the colored coins. This is riffing on that more than any video game but loosely adapted to the falling block genre. Made for handy use as a widget.
Take your time.
Make patterns.
Try to fill the whole screen.
Z/X to rotate.
Left/Right to move.
Down to drop.
v1.0.1 Updated score text
v1.0.2 Offset pattern rectangles & added a best score tracker

String Wrap Demo
This is just a small tech demo.
I couldn't find anything online helping me make a string wrapping function, so I made this, hopefully it helps!

A wallpaper/screensaver for Picotron inspired by From Rust To Ash's main menu.
I tried to make it as close as possible to the original, except for the repeating patterns. Points and their velocities are created at random.
I also used this to get my feet wet with Picotron userdata.
Settings
To edit the settings, just open the cart normally (not as the wallpaper) and new options will be available.
You can change the colors used by the wallpaper:
- background color
- line color
- point color
- or just use the system theme
You can also change:

fun facts
What is P8SCII?
P8SCII is a set of control codes commonly used to alter different parts of the printing process, such as text color, decorations, fonts, etc. These codes can be used to manipulate text all throughout Picotron.
One of the special commands made available through P8SCII is:
\^:
This command allows us to specify character data much like we would a sprite. This data can then be drawn to the screen as an 8x8 character, just like any letter or number you can type with your keyboard. This is called a one-off character.
By utilizing this and other control codes we can overlap multiple one-off characters to create multi-colored emotes!
Can you make an emote for me?
I already have, check the Presets folder in the Load pop-up window! But I'm planning on implementing LXO integration so that you can download emotes from other people with ease.
Can I steal your code?
- Yes, by all means!
