Capybara Calm
I made this quick game in order to have something published. I like the idea of minigames, and I feel like this one could be a minigame for something bigger, like a WarioWare-type of game.
The controls are simple
Just use the left and right arrow keys to move.
It currently needs some improvements, but I decided to publish it as it is because I don't want to leave it there, and forget about it.
The things I'll add next are:
- Main menu screen with some nice capybara pixel art.
- Music.
- Increasing difficulty for item spawning.
- Game over screen with some pixel art.
- Different types of fruits or items with speed and score variations.

Win9x is the hot new operating system. It comes with music player, text pad, paint, and a solo version of table tennis, Ping.

Enjoy your new OS.
However, your system is vulnerable to viruses. And your battery is running out. Figure out how to clean any infections before you lose power.

Oof, I just saw the terms of use update from the other week. Anything touched by a foundation model is no longer welcome on the BBS.
I've been using AI + hand coding to great effect in recent months, especially for helping me deal with laying out boilerplate, tracking down stupid-fiddly bugs, and managing memory and tokens across multiple associated carts. Looks like the big project I've been working on for the past several years is no longer eligible for the BBS; at this point, AI has contributed meaningfully to pretty much every cart in the mix. 😔
Without AI, I was never honestly going to get this game anywhere near finished with the time I have to work on it. I've got a full-time job, a busy teenager and a spouse with cancer. Time is not my friend. The occasional 30-60 minute chunks of time I can carve out to code for the fun of it are barely enough to get my mental context stood up, let alone make much progress. I'm getting old, coming up on 50, and my brain just doesn't have the speed or endurance it used to.

Boo!
Some people may have seen my AstralBBS cartridge on here, and I think I want to continue setting up some fun online stuff with my server & Picotron.
For those who know nada of what I've got setup - I have a little home server running (on solar power, yum!) which I've been using for personal stuff and then hosting the Astral BBS.
I was thinking, with the server I have, I could host a steam-like dashboard for Picotron. I could use the bbs id in the form of picotron-[bbsid] for bbs posts - allowing you to have a steam forum thing on picotron (where any posts tagged with picotron-[bbsid] show up as posts in that game's page, and when you post something for that game, it shows up with that same tag.).
This could also be paired with some achievement system, (though it could be easily cheated), where games could have a setting to use it and let you have achievements on your profile. It could be made less cheatable with scoresub, but the server can't really access that since you need an auth key to access scoresub, even just to view. :(

Welcome to Splattered INK
A challenging 2D platformer game where you find your way through, at first, seemingly invisible levels.
This game is made mainly for me to practice level design. It is meant to be played on a keyboard and mouse but should also be playable on other devices. If you are playing on PC, I highly suggest using WASD instead of arrow keys for comfort but u can use both!
Let me know any feedback that I may apply to any future projects and have fun!

i should probably warn LOUD SOUNDS AHEAD, this is just a loud monkey bashing some cymbals.
but also yeah this really is just a loud monkey bashing some cymbals, while trying to just make music i found an effect that really sounded like that thing in tv shows when a kid is just bashing 2 lids of some trash cans, and then i made it sound kinda like regular cymbals, and immediatly my brain just pictured a monkey playing with cymbals and now here we are, listening to magnificent art.
i am sorry for making your ears bleed.

Hello!
I've been working on a html editor in Picotron and I've encountered some behavior of chooser that doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
Minimal example:
When unsandboxed, everything works perfectly. Using the menu item "Select" opens a file browser and I can use the selected filename provided for other tasks.
When sandboxed, clicking the "Select" option does nothing and no file browser is opened.
The reason I didn't expect this behavior is the manual indicates that "Selecting files via chooser() or wrangle_working_file() is taken as permission from the user to read and write them, and so can be accessed by sandboxed / BBS cartridges."

an idle game where you download idle games, featuring zodlex's vtuber since this is technically an art attack though i'm really stretching it here
mouse controls
tab through 8 bit steam to see the store page and your downloads page
minimize steam to see your desktop and upgrades
pico 8's integers are only 16 bit and i did very little to mitigate integer overflow. when you start to see upgrade costs in the negative, i think thats just when you consider the game won
edit:fixed a bug with the download all button working even when it wasn't drawn. this fix isn't in the file on artfight but i assume no one's actually going to run that file and this post will be the only way this game is played

The Astral Bulletin Board System
This is a cart to view the AstralBBS
This doesn't allow for signing up and logging in, or commenting and liking posts, but if the picotron post/get requests are secure and don't just default to http and lose the secureness of https, I might try add it!
This is seperate to the Lexaloffle BBS, and is run personally by me on my home server.
If you'd like a registration key, please contact me.
More information on the AstralBBS can be found here

A new challenger has entered the world of magical combat! Prove your fighting prowess and defeat your opponent. Dodge and deflect his attacks and when you're ready, cast a powerful firebolt to break through his shield and do some real damage! But be careful - you need to time your shield right, or you'll be injured as well, and if you just let the enemy's attacks fly past you, eventually he'll unleash a special attack of his own!
How to Play
The game mostly plays like Pong, but with some twists:
- You can only deflect the ball when you hold X to cast a shield.
- When casting shield, you can't move, and you can only hold it for a few seconds before you run out of energy.
