I think it turned out pretty well.

This is my first foray into development using Pico-8, I enjoyed it a lot!
I tried to give the game a couple Easter eggs and oddities, to give it a slightly different flavour from other minesweeper clones.

Controls:

Arrow Keys - movement
C - Reveal a square // Chording // Confirm
X - Toggle flag

The mouse controls are as you'd expect.
(Player 2's controls are Pico-8's defaults)

For the Name menu, you can change letters using the Up and Down keys, and move between character positions using Right and Left.

I made a PICO-8 adaptation of "The Sumerian Game (1964)" — one of the earliest computer strategy games, designed by Mabel Addis.

Made this in 999 compressed bytes for PICO-1K Jam 2026.

Arrow keys move, X and O slow time. Get close to red circles to mine points, but don't get hit!

A recreation of the original 1997 Snake cell phone game. I tried to get as close to the original as I could, right down to the menus. The only addition is adjustable speed settings. For the most authentic experience, Speed 1 closely matches the pace of the original game.

I hope you enjoy!

A nsfw/fetish-based comedy game for the Heavy Weight game jam.

Obviously won't be to everyone's taste but I'm proud of the fakey-mcfakerson "physics" and the coroutine-based cutscene system so hearfelt thankyou to any brave souls who check it out.

Currently open to any feedback/ideas about how to add more variety and challenge into the levels.

This is a small(ish) game I made to test the flow and function of a bigger game I have planned; "Ifrinn". The bigger version won't be made in Pico-8 though, I just happened to start messing with the engine when I had the idea to make this smaller version.

If you enjoyed this, keep an eye out on Steam for when the full version of "Ifrinn" comes, it's gonna be BIGGER and BETTER than this one! (Twice the dice, twice the FUN!)

Also, if you're feeling generous, feel free to support this game on Itch.io! You'll get a downloadable copy of this game and its soundtrack, AND the proceeds will go towards the development of the full game!
(You don't have to pay to get the download if you don't want to, though)

NOVA STRIKE ( v1.1.4 )

Typical wave shooter, first attempt at a pico-8 game. Takes some inspiration from Galaxian for Atari

Not the best at music, first go in the editor so apologies in advance! You can turn it off in options though :)

What YOU Can Do:

• Shoot stuff
• Grab power-ups that drop (I have shields even, your welcome)
• Bombs for mass clearing of enemies (you can get extra from drops)
• There's a few bosses as Galaxian had a few bosses
• Roguelike-ish with upgrades every few stages w/shop-rerolls
• Unlock new ships by playing stages and resume from where you left off for a casual-experience :)

Features:

• Infinite gameplay
• UI Menu with options, credits, and high scores :D
• Rocketship character

Community Feedback/Tips appreciated!

Note that I am quite close to my limit even with shrinko8 and do not want this to be a multicart title.
