Behind the scenes
I am very young, and this game took a very long time to code. I definitely had some highs and lows. One of the lows was that the coding for the upgrades menu took a long time to conquer. I feel that it was the hardest part of making this game. one of the definite highs though, was actually making the ideas FOR the upgrades. I took a lot of time to figure out what upgrades I wanted, and how much they'd cost, so I really like how I did with them.
THANKS FOR PLAYING!

I have been running into an issue recently with #include.
I have been using Visual Studio Code as an external editor for pico-8. For my last game, this worked largely without issue. However, it has been a while since I last worked on a pico-8 game (about a year, I think?) and now on a new project the #include formatting I was using doesn't work. When I attempt to run the game, I get a runtime error that says "Attempt to call a thread value." Unsure what that could mean, and I haven't been able to find any other cases like this online.
I went back to my old game, which was formatted the same, and to my surprise that also is no longer working, and it gives me the same error. I'm not sure what's going on, did I change something and mess something up? Or is this a newer bug?
I'm working on a Windows 11 machine. Happy to provide more information if helpful, unsure what would be relevant.
The error I'm getting:

When you run the game, press the O button, (mapped to C on keyboard), to bypass the title screen, and start the game. Once in the game, we need to start casting the line. Press the X button to cast the fishing line! This will give you a small moment, before a fish bites. Press the up button 10 times in 5 seconds to successfully catch the fish! Then you can simply cast away again!
Rules
Catch as many fish as you can with this simple minigame that will test your clicking speed!
Behind The Scenes
I am very young, and had a lot of pros and cons while coding this game. I spent an hour at minimum, figuring out how to make simple things like sprites, music, and sounds. one thing I struggled with the most, was getting the catching mechanism to run smoothly, which took me over 24 hours just to figure out.

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.

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.

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!

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?)
