This game was made for the PICO-1K Game Jam!
Press the button in rhythm with the swaying roots to grow vines. Each vine you create costs energy, and the thickness of the roots shows how much energy you have left.
Just like Jack's beanstalk, grow your way up to the clouds!!

I'd like to share the results of my exploration of the Wave Function Collapse algorithm and its implementation in Pico-8. I hope you'll find it useful.
It took me quite some time to wrap my head around this concept. Of all the resources I came across, the one that helped me the most was an article by Robert Heaton:
https://robertheaton.com/2018/12/17/wavefunction-collapse-algorithm/
If you're new to this, I'd really recommend reading this article first — it explains what the Wave Function Collapse algorithm actually is. In it, the author explains the algorithm using a Simple Tile Model WFC, but he also introduces an Even Simpler Tiled Model (ESTM). That model became the starting point for my own journey toward implementing Wave Function Collapse in Pico-8.
Over time, this initial implementation evolved into three different versions of the algorithm:
- Even Simpler Tile Model (ESTM)
- Simple Tile Model
- Overlap Model
The following sections provide a brief overview of each implementation, along with a link to more detailed walkthrough for ESTM.

Submission to Falling Block Jam 2026!

Really loving this tool so far. It's even more amazing to see the work others have done. Here's to more bits and boops down the road.
Music is a chip-tuned reimagining of the Chinese folksong "Jasmine Flower" from Turandot.

The song from Deltarune Ch5 before a child throws knives at you

Synth strings sfx by packbat
Aside from covering the song, I took the opportunity to experiment with ways of animating text trails and falling leaves

A WIP for a vignette game (did not know that this genre exsist, before September 2026. Toy box, Diarama Games)
Sept: First upload of a game cart
Okt: Big update for me, add a game state and a game start animation.
Okt: No building animation but Tower Cranes and now four rails!
Next update will bring some construktion areas and a building animation
This cart is made for my son (3y) who loves trains and puplic transportation, let´s hope I can finish before he turns 12.
Thanks
Thanks on Lazy Devs youtube channel and his

I love this unpack list combination for spritesheet coords and this rnd use with lists, but do not know if this a common way for little bigger games.

The amazing @Liquidream has been running the Pico-1K Jam since September 2021! After 6 editions this event has now turned 5, which is well deserving of a celebration. Therefore I have put my culinary skills to work and baked a sizeable cake (1016 bytes when compressed with Shrinko8) so that we can all have a slice. Enjoy!

Keep your patio clear of falling leaves. ⬆️⬇️⬅️➡️ to move the broom. ❎🅾️ to sweep left and right. Relax and live out your patio sweeping dream with the zen mode. During challenge mode, if the leaves build up too much the ants will swarm and you will no longer build your score. Clear the leaves to make the ants go away and start scoring again. Try to top your last high score.

I've been trying to up my pico-8 game and was inspired by this breakout tutorial to attempt a physics sim. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxV2i8pDWmk&t=1519s
I failed terribly, completely abandoned the everything-in-one-table-elegantly-reacting-with-each-other thing that tutorial had going on, and just said a prayer and brute forced it. But it still ended up being a workable game!
