fend off waves of red bugs that claw themselves up from below! you need to collect sparks to spawn units and to build buildings.
BASICS
you can specialize normal units into warriors, harvesters and defenders by moving them onto inductors, capacitors and resistors. the small buildings will take a few seconds to convert units.
normal units can trigger the large buildings or sacrifice themselves to repair building damage.

Hey everyone! I've been working on a new project for over 3 months, and it's almost ready.
BODYCAM: BREAK-IN
A 3D first-person shooter in the style of bodycam footage for PICO-8.
What's it about?
You are a crazed addict breaking into 3 houses full of armed thugs. After surviving a police raid, you grab a shotgun and storm the precinct yourself and....!
Key Features:
Bodycam FX: Grain, glitch lines, vignette, and a heartbeat on low HP.
Smart AI: Capsule-based enemies with procedural animations and active tracking.
Physics & Gore: Verlet ragdolls that react to bullets and hit walls, plus blood pools and splatters.
Weapons: Pre-rendered 3D pistol & shotgun with moving parts, recoil, and flying casings.
Tech: DDA raycasting and tline floors, all packed into a single P8 cart + bonus level! 
Text BRO and talk to MOM on the iPICO.
Controls
Left click on apps.
Right click on pictures to set wallpaper.
Use arrow keys and X to play Tetris.
Hold UP + DOWN + X to Restart.
Notehead Reinvents the Phone with iPICO
Notehead today introduced iPICO, a revolutionary mobile phone.
iPICO introduces an entirely new user interface based on a large kilopixel display and pioneering new software, letting users control iPICO with just their mouse. iPICO also ushers in an era of software power and sophistication never before seen in a mobile device emulator, which completely redefines what users can do on their mobile phone.
“iPICO is a revolutionary and magical product that is literally five years ahead of any other mobile phone,” said CEO Steve Notehead.
iPICO comes preloaded with several apps, including Instagram, Photo Viewer, Notes, Tetris, YouTube, Messenger, Email, and Music Player.

This is my first time uploading a game to Lexaloffle, I really hope you enjoy!
Controls
Move around using the arrow keys and punch using X and O.
Gameplay
Try to punch birds out of the sky and rack up points! It sounds easy until they start to gang up on you...
Behind The Scenes
My background is mainly in music but i have messed around with coding before. I really struggled with the art in this game as I wanted it to look somewhat "polished". Despite this I think it came out alright, especially for my first real project. I know there is a lot to be improved here, so if you have any feedback please let me know!

This is my first full game in Pico 8.
Its a Snake clone, with powerup that gives equivalent of 5 apples at once to speed up the early game.
The only AI help I had was figuring out how to get the high scores to save to the cartridge and one debug problem I had. Everything else is human made, by me to learn how to code.
Enjoy!

THEN THE WORLD
WAS COVERED
IN DARKNESS.
The cool song that plays in Deltarune when you give up. I made this to learn the sfx and music editors. (maybe if you're quick you can catch something with x?)

I've been making games for a while, mostly in Unity. But I've always loved pixel art and retro stuff, so I finally decided to try PICO-8. Here's what I came up with.
It's a bubble shooter. You shoot colored balls, match three or more balls of the same color to pop them, and try to keep the stack from reaching the bottom. There are three modes: Endless, Normal, and Hardcore. Chain combos, use special balls, and go for a high score.

Pixel Edit Lite
A small, offline iPhone sprite editor for PICO-8.
I originally built it because I wanted to mess around with sprites when I wasn't at my Mac.
PICO-8 → iPhone → PICO-8
This is the workflow I use most:
Copy a sprite from PICO-8 → edit it on my iPhone → copy it back.
Pixel Edit Lite supports the actual PICO-8 sprite clipboard format, so there's no conversion step.
Features
- 128×128 PICO-8 sprite sheet
- PICO-8 sprite clipboard support
- Pencil, eraser and bucket fill
- Lines, rectangles and circles
- Rotate, flip and shift sprites
- PICO-8 and TIC-80 palettes
- Import sprite sheets from Files
- Recent Projects
- Undo / redo
- Offline — no account required
- Share sprites with the native iOS share sheet
Another workflow
I also use it to import an existing sprite sheet from Files, select a sprite, make a quick change, and then take it back into PICO-8.

My first pico game! Intended as an ARS style tetris practice game to run on systems like MISTeR FPGA and android. Been having a blast working on this. and I hope to add more features to help grandmasters in the making!
Codes:
Invisible tetris: Hold X+O and hit left, down, right, right, down, left
20G mode: Hold X+O and hit down 8 times
You can view your section times and blocked line counts by pressing O after topping out
Alternatively, you can also play the game with keyboard inputs!
Just click the window once to enable the mode and use ZXC for movement and m,. for rotations

WARNING: ONLY WORK FROM PERSISTENT DRIVE (HDD, SD, ETC), YOU MUST EXECUTE FROM HDD WITH COMMAND OR CARTS FOLDER IN SPLORE, OTHERWIZE DONT DETECT ANY GAME.
Hola amigos.
Ya que pico 8 0.2.7 tiene un bug que no le permite leer carpetas con juegos dentro de la carpeta cart.... decidí hacer un menú simple que permita hacerlo. Ideal para quien tenga alguna colección guardada en el disco duro con muchos juegos ordenados en carpetas, sobre todo si quieren hacer una consola pico-8 sin conexion a internet, como la que yo me queria hacer.
Lee automáticamente carpetas-carts y los agrega a la lista... ojo el cart debe estar guardado en el disco duro o almacenamiento y debe ser ejecutado desde ahi.

Finally, a realistic fishin' game! It's just you and a boat, and a bunch of fish under the water that don't seem terribly interested in your worm. Maybe you can get a nibble. But can you reel one in? Find out, in Realistic Fishin'!
Controls: a gamepad, or the Z, X, and Arrow keys
What Players Are Saying
"I can't catch a fish"
~ Kevin
"It was relaxing enough I suppose"
~ Tom
So realistic, it's just like real fishing!

FAQ
Q: Is it possible to actually catch a fish?
A: What? No. This is realistic fishin'.

A short game about keeping people happy.
You are a policy consultant. A political party has hired you to create a new policy initiative. Different choices affect different groups in different ways. Can you keep the groups interested in this policy happy?
Owen's Note: This is obviously a gross simplification of how government policy is made. Usually the number of variables is unknown, and the effects the policy will have on different groups may not be fully understood. A good government tries its best to make sure policy works to accomplish a goal, with the ultimate goal of improving things for the most people possible. I made this small game after thinking about how much more difficult governing is for governments who are working to try to help everyone, as opposed to governments who only care about helping a small portion of the population.

A recreation of Auto Test (1954) as an educational driving simulator where the player watches a real-life driving scenario and tries to match the driver’s actions: steering, accelerating, and braking.
