🩸 Welcome to the Bloody Tower
You are a college baseball star whose life just took a dark turn. Transported by the ancient god Makuvex into a nightmare realm known as the Bloody Tower, your only way back to Earth is straight up. Luckily, you brought your bat.
Makuvex: The Bloody Tower is a fast-paced 8-bit action roguelike platformer where your best friend isn't a sword—it's a baseball bat! Ascend through deadly, procedurally generated floors, face hordes of demonic creatures, and manage your resources. No two runs will ever be exactly the same. Do you have the reflexes to reach the top?
🎮 Arrow Keys (← →): Move | Z: Jump (Press twice for Double Jump) | X: Swing Baseball Bat Up (↑) + X: Shoot Baseball Projectile | Down (↓) + Z: Dodge Roll (Grants brief invincibility) |

Not Necessarily Asteroids
So this is my first PICO-8 cart. I've never made a game before, PICO-8 seemed a pretty damn fun place to start, and my wife loves Asteroids—so here we are. There's still some things that need tweaked, but I think this is a good start.

Thrust: ⬆️

Summary
My first flash/arcade style game made on PICO-8, it is an adaptation of fruit drop (or a bucket and coin catch game). I will probably not update this version but I may release a follow up game in the future with more features and a bit more polish.
At every 5 score the speeder becomes more agile and the slalom poles move towards you quicker, the speed and agility caps at a certain point and then the goal is to see how long you can survive for.
Controls
left & Right - move the speeder
X & O - menu buttons
Enter - PICO-8 menu

Simple hypercasual game.
Press any button to change directions.
Dodge blocks, get circles.
Remade from this game as practice:

I was trying to make a suika type game but I'm currently stuck on the physics and I accidentally made whatever the hell this is. It's fun to look at I guess, so I'm sharing it here for now.
oh here's something else fun

Hi Everyone!
This is my first cart submission. I've been playing around in Picotron for a few weeks now, and it might be the best thing in the world ^o^ I've been having a blast learning Lua and figuring out how everything works.
I found this cute wallpaper by CornetTheory that I loved, but it wasn't behaving quite right. So I started fiddling around with the code and ended up getting a bit carried away! I am quite pleased with the results so I thought I would share. I'd love to see others personalise this further with their own sprites. Click here to submit your own fork.
If you don't like the coloured dragons, you can turn them off by setting lemurMode to false on line 24 of main.lua. Or you can set leemsOnly to false if you want all the characters to be able to superwhirl like in the original.
Big thanks to

I think it had to do with the lua code I was working on but I can't seem to recover the code. I was doing some player:get_inventory calls

I was running voxatron, I played the built-in adventure game for a few minutes then put it in the background - a couple minutes in, a crash popped up and it quit.
I was running it in the command line cause the OS was saying it couldn't guarantee it was free of malware when I double clicked it, so here's the terminal crash output, then the whole crash report.
--- Terminal output:
fish: Job 1, './Contents/MacOS/vox' terminated by signal SIGILL (Illegal instruction)

Shoot the snakes before they get away!

Made for the 580th weekly One Hour Game Jam
update: fixed bug :)

Just a little test. When it's finished, it should be able to send files via scoresub. But right now it's just a little handshake system.

The code in this post may contain some AI code, which is now not allowed by the Terms of Use anymore (this post was made before the TOU update).

A shooting game inspired by the B29 gunsight, where you had to adjust a reticle size based on the distance of the enemy aircraft.
Aim accurately, but you can only shoot down enemy aircraft if your reticle is the same size as they are!
Enemies drop bombs, shoot down the bombs before they land and destroy your hometown!
Arrow keys to move
O to make reticle bigger/smaller
X to fire gun
