This is a game where you place colored buckets under an art piece and collect its pixels. Only the pixels on the bottom-most row are collected by the buckets running under the art piece.
Rules:
1.A full bucket reaching the end of the conveyor belt gives 100 points.
2.If you finish collecting pixels of a specific color, you get redacted points for empty space in each of the buckets of that color. More points are taken away emptier the buckets are.
I've been wanting to make a sand simulation for a while, and figured PICO-8 would be the perfect platform for that. Simulation budget is capped to 3072 pixel updates per frame for performance reasons, but it works fast enough that makes no difference in practice.

Beefy's Burgers is an endless burger making sim where you complete orders and try to last as many shifts as you can. Button used for interactions is Z and movement is handled with the arrow keys.

Fetch! 🎾
This is my very first game! It stars my Shiba Inu, Arya, who loves fetch almost as much as she loves ignoring me when a bird shows up.
Get the ball at the end of each yard and bring it home before birds, squirrels and the occasional flying nut break her focus. Every level is randomly made and gets longer and tougher as you go. How far can you get?
Controls
- Arrows - run
- Z - jump
- X - bark: scares birds and sends squirrels up their trees, but she'll drop the ball!
- Stand still to sit and calm down
- Treats refill her focus, so save them for the trip home
I'd love to hear what you think: what felt fun, what felt unfair, and anything that broke. All feedback helps.

Things to tune, all in _update:
> Event timing: et==0, 12 and 40 are when the two thumps and the collapse fire; wait=120+rnd(120) is the rest between events.
> Strength: kick(-.16,.06) sets how hard and how unevenly it caves in.
> Bounce: the spring lines .08 (stiffness) and =.88 (damping, lower settles faster).

Gilded Vault: One scarred old man. Ten floors of rats, goblins, and locked doors. Zero keys where you'd expect them. Fight everything by walking directly into it, heal with dungeon ham, and get price-gouged on cheese at the Ye Olde Snack Hole — all to steal all the gold and haul it home like it's a grocery run.

Many years ago dragons lost their kingdom to the vampires. Now you, young dragon prince, decided to get your lands back. But proceed with caushen, because the Lord of Vampires is already waiting for you.
It’s my first PICO-8 game, made following this tutorial by LazyDevs. It was made in two months or so but development was abandoned for more than a year. But it's finished now! The duration of the clear walkthrough is less than 3 minutes, so it’s pretty short.
(also don't use it for learning code it's a spaghettis mess haha)

How to run Picotron games on Batocera
I wanted to run Picotron 0.3.0d2 on my Raspberry Pi5 with Batocera 43.1.
Batocera uses EmulationStation as frontend, so I wanted to be able to select a game and then the game should be automatically started in Picotron. When the game is closed by the user (exit cartridge from the context menu), Picotron should also be closed.
It turned out to achieve all of this, it was quite a journey.
I can't guarantee that this solution will work with future versions of Batocera / Picotron.
Preparations
Download Batocera for Raspberry Pi 5 and write the image onto a USB stick. Boot the Raspberry Pi from the stick once so Batocera can configure itself.
The USB stick contains two partitions: BATOCERA and SHARE. We will only have to add some files on the SHARE partition.
Copy your picotron folder to the SHARE partition, so that /SHARE/picotron/ contains all picotron files (use the raspberry pi version!).
Create a new folder /SHARE/roms/picotron/ and put all your cart files in there.

STOREBROR & LILLEBROR
A co-op action platformer for PICO-8
Hi everyone!
I’ve been working on a new PICO-8 game called Storebror & Lillebror — Danish for Big Brother & Little Brother.
It is an action platformer that can be played alone or in 2-player co-op. The two brothers have very different abilities, so you can choose the character that fits your playstyle, or combine their powers with a friend.
The game currently has 8 levels, including moon stages with lower gravity, transforming robots, shadow ninjas, lava, slopes, animated environments, and a final confrontation with the supreme shadow warrior Natskygge.
LILLEBROR
Lillebror is quick and has access to fire, ice, and defensive abilities.

SEASON RUNNERS is a jump'n'run that changes with the calendar: the world you play depends on today's date. Carnival in February, a spring meadow at Easter, the beach in summer, a ghost night in October, snow and Christmas in December – and fireworks at New Year.
FEATURES
- 8 seasonal worlds, picked automatically by date – each with its own character, colours, music, collectibles and hazards
- Speed levels every 1000 points – the run gets faster and harder
- Lava blocks, impacts from above, skulls & poison – and lightning that flips your running direction
- Garages: touch the door and drive one of 14 vehicles (car, hypercar, motorbike, jet ski, snowboard, reindeer sled ...) over ramps for 10-15 seconds

PLAYMAKE DEMO — A pocket music studio
Hey everyone! I made PLAYMAKE, a small music maker for PICO-8 with four tracks, soft sounds, and a piano roll you can use with buttons or a mouse.
I wanted something approachable for sketching melodies and building little songs—especially on handhelds where a mouse isn’t available. The sounds lean toward warm and gentle, with a cassette-inspired interface to match. Oh, and you can import the songs you make and use in your own Pico-8 games!
What can you make?
Each of the four tracks can use any of these ten voices:
Keys · Bass · Drums · Flute · Synth · Bells · Pluck · Organ · Mallet · Guitar

Here is my first finished pico-8 game!
I made it for Hack Club's Terra program.
-- p i c o f a l l --
A game about falling through a cave.
- Use Z/X to swap direction or the Arrows to move left/right.
- Don't touch the walls.
- You heal in between each level.
- Try to rack up as much score as possible!
(your score does not save, I didn't bother with that for now but I might add it later)
I would appreciate any feedback (especially with sound, this was my first time ever using the sfx tab), I have used pico-8 before but I'd like to improve at using it!

Story
The cats have taken over! They're everywhere, in every facet of life. In our homes, in our media, in our dreams! The only place yet to feel the cats adorable wrath is the secluded wizards in deepest Romania. In an attempt to prevent this catpocalypse from reaching them, the wizards have grabbed their flying surfboards and taken to the skies to defend their home!
Gameplay
You must battle through waves of varied cats, clearing as many rounds as possible to increase your score. If you get far enough you might even encounter a boss or two...
