This is the first small game I am making on pico8 and it is so much fun !
I now love constrained game development, I feel like an 80's programmer.
Please be kind, but don't hesitate to share some feedback, your thoughts or potential optimizations !
Concept
You play as a friendly Godzilla who still destroys buildings but puts them in the proper bin.
So your goal is to pick'em up and go to the bin with the matching color, and to RECYCLE.
You only have 3 lives, so don't get confused and RECYCLE.
There is also a maximum height you can't overstep, so be quick and RECYCLE.
Controls
- X : 1) In game : to pick up a building ; 2) Out of game : to select
- Left & Right Arrows : to move
Incoming updates
- Better visuals
- More feedback on the gained score
- Combos depending on the number of buildings thrown at the same time in a bin
- The possibility to eat the carried buildings?
- The possibility to catch falling buildings before they touch the ground?
Have fun !
A simple sokoban game.
This is my first game, hope you like!
Features
- 457 levels
- Level selector
- Statistics
- Undo function
- Simple tutorial
- Current level and stats are saved to cart data
Controls
←↑↓→: move player
X : undo move / select menu item
X+O : reset level
The levels are from the Microban I + II + III + IV level sets by David W. Skinner found on http://www.sourcecode.se/sokoban/levels
Quick pseudo 3D worldmap skew effect meant to emulate something like Final Fantasy 6's overworld. The way this works is it copies the screen to the spritesheet after rendering the map, then goes through from top to bottom taking skewh rows and drawing them using sspr, adding 2 pixels more to the width every time. The skewh value defaults to 4.
Left/down decreases skewh (minimum of 1), up/right increases skewh (maximum of 16), and the buttons toggle the skewing on and off.
Hey! I'm DatOneBuilder. I used to be in Vox community (I took lessons about Vox and other related coding games, but took a large break from the game.) Sadly, I lost access to my previous account. My account old account can be found here. I'm going to be taking up some of my old projects but I will need to brush up on Vox as I have taken a long break from the game. Thanks!
Spent hours playing kingdom new lands.
Spent hours playing Across the River by Benjamin Soule

Was really curious if we could add the water reflection of Kingdom to Across the River.
Might try and add the effect to the original Across the River later in the week.
Alright so after a month I quit working on this game, I'm submitting it to the jam regardless because otherwise it will sit dormant forever. Many a bug plagued this thing and I'm glad to get rid of it. If you can fix it then well, have a crack at it. In fact I honestly don't care if you change the credits and upload it as your own. I hope what little bit of a game that IS here is enjoyable
Are there any examples in the BBS of a cart faking a game crash as part of the game? IE printing out a false error message? I was thinking about this and wondered if anybody had done it.
Alright, the title explains what this is really. So I mapped a random """heightmap""" to the sprite sheet (using poke), later in _draw() I SSPRed the whole sheet, giving 128 rows from the sprite sheet on the screen. Then I offset the Y using the function √1-x^2 modified to look more visually appealing, and hacking off the sides so weird noise wasn't visible. Offsetting the source of the SSPR on the X-axis allowed me to scroll what was visible to the user.
You might say, "Hey, that noise looks like sh!t", and yeah you're right. This is not quality noise. but I coded the noise in like 2 hours, so cut some slack, please. My current project doesn't need noise thats anymore complex than this. I don't need a fancy system of noise. Also, please ignore how bad my code is, I can be a bit of a spaghetti coder.
(Btw: Z/X to rotate the cynlindar, i submitted this to share less as a resource so i didnt include user interface text)
a simple Tweetcart. Not much else to say.
This cart demos some work I've been doing on 3d rendering - including both flat shading and per-vertex shading.
up/down/left/right - orient
z - change colour palette
x - change render mode
The per-vertex shading is experimental code using sspr for render scanlines from the spritesheet. There are some issues with this - lighting discontinuities possibly fixed-point related.
I wouldn't be surprised if there are some bugs, and I need to update the transform code and add in viewport culling.
Comments/suggestions welcome.
update:
- increased rendering performance (radix sort + pipeline changes)
- fixed per-vertex shading
This has 12 distinct methods of corruption.
I have done a game code for a red ball that I can move in a line. I have figured out the code for that. However, I am stuck on making it change a color when it hits the end of the pico 8 screen. I have searched it online and have had no luck. Can anyone explain what I need to do to get the ball to change color? Thank you
Here is my code so far without changing the color.
col=0
function _init()
cls()
xpos = 64
ypos = 64
col = 8
size = 5
end
function _update60()
if (btn(0) and xpos > 0) xpos -= 1
if (btn(1) and xpos < 127) xpos += 1
end
if xpos < 33 then col = 5
end
function _draw()
cls()
circfill(xpos, ypos, size, col)
end
Surprisingly with all the updates PICO-8 has received, it has one gross error in it that took me hours to debug and later find out and break it into the exact components giving the error alone. It was definitely a case of "it's not my fault." Could cause problems later in other carts and programs.
This will not run:
if (key=="(") print"open"

This will also not run:
if (key==")") print"close" |
This will run:
if (key=="[") print"open" |
Wow. And no-one's discovered this till now ??
Update: Added GRAY, bars, text, Hopalong Cassidy
Hello.
As you know, a new palette method was discovered. Now while you can't use all 32-colors in one screen (which is what I had hoped), you CAN tweak individual palettes of the 16 to use the new set.
This means for those of you who want to make games that use only one HUE, then you might find this program useful.
It shows 6-squares going from darkest but not black to each color of purple, red, orange, yellow, green, and blue, using the (O) key to change between, and the coding involved to produce it.
I have since added a picture of Hopalong Cassidy. This was not easy. First I converted a square picture of him to 128x128 B&W. Then manually created a palette based on the 7-colors that comprise of (Gray). Then reissue the image using that palette.
Then manually modify the palette only to default PICO-8 standard. Import. Re-hue, done. He looks best in the GRAY hue because that is the picture he was originally, B&W.
Would be keen to have optional 16-shades of B&W. :D Maybe next PICO-8 release.
Note, the color bars and squares are still there, change value HOPALONG=0 in the program and re-run.
So this is my first time working with PICO-8 and really my first time making a game from scratch in general.
The entire movement system is my own creation, I didn't look to see how other people did movement so it may not be perfect but I'm rather proud of it. A lot of it just came naturally as little things I added as I discovered the different capabilities I had. Some things, such as the glitchy title intro and the hp bar jolting in the direction you're hit, were actually just pure mistakes or stupid coding on my part that gave me an idea for a cool effect. It may not be much of a game yet as there are no objectives, but it means a lot to me as the joy that coding it brought me has solidified my desire to be an indie game dev and make a career of that.
TL;DR
To quote the maker of the game Forager:
"I hope you love this game as much as I do"
Hey guys,
There's an Alakajam! event scheduled for the 20-22th September week-end!
The event is an online gamedev competition where people make a game from scratch over 48 hours. Start/end times are suited to European timezones (7pm UTC), also both the theme and the winners are decided by the community! As I write the theme submission phase is about to start, and you will be able to suggest ideas for one week. The full jam works this way:
You can discover the winners from the last jams here</a>. For the record the very first jam was actually won by a PICO-8 entry :) The achievement has not been renewed yet, it's up to you guys!
More than the thrill of the competition, a cool thing is that all games are getting valuable feedback their games thanks to our voting/comment system.
If you're interested feel free to check in, we also have a Discord & an IRC chan. See you there!
