I've been using the 64-bit raspberry pi version of pico-8 (0.2.7) on Asahi Linux running on a mac. I exported a game to html using "export index.html" on the pico-8 console, and everything seemed to work, but when attempting to play it (on itch), the game just showed an empty grey screen after the play button was pressed. The browser console printed the error "Uncaught SyntaxError: illegal character U+0000"
I exported the same file using Linux on x86-64, and that worked without issue.

a little racing game created for pico-1k 2026
press x to accelerate and arrows to steer
pass checkpoints to get more time!
see how far you've driven in the top left
the game ends when time runs out
(it keeps counting down after zero, no space left to fix that)
reset the cart to play again on a different track!
update 1: fixed a glitch where one line of the car's gfx wasn't drawn by changing a '109' to '108'. this actually reduced the compressed byte count from 1024 to 1022 bytes
update 2-4: fixed p8.png cover image and label

Cliffside 2 Long!
It's basically just Cliffside 2 and Celeste 2 Long put together!
This took a bit of looking around
(I didn't want to explain all the differences completely, so I put it here…)
just ignore everything after __gfx__
I added zeros to certain areas to replicate what Celeste 2 Long does.

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!!

Quick little tweetcart demo (138 characters) resembling fast loaders from the days of the microcomputer.
Also minor flashing lights warning

Submission to Falling Block Jam 2026!

Art by paudge. @audpxl on IG.
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
Aqua sprites by gatekid3, used with permission
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)
Controls
UP/Down Buttons change the Area where the Animation should start (right now all animations just run from the start off)
Button X starts/stopps the animation of the background houses (just Lights on/off)
WIP
There are obvoius logic flaws, but by uploading a cart I can get some testplayers, with just sharing an url.
I underestimated the layer problem if I want to add a useable reveal methode, or indicator, what element is about to be aktivated.
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
" The 30 Circle Test " and " We Are All Game Beginners - Porklike Postmortem "

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.
