UPDATE v0.3:
- added flying "boids" that can be collected. As of now, they only provide 250pts, but they will have a more useful function in the next update
- added music! I composed a little cheery tune that I hope will not get old too soon ;)
UPDATE v0.2:
- added "seed" menu where players can choose the random seed used for the obstacle generation (0 keeps it random :) )

My first pico8 game guys! Press x to dash, when dashing your kill enemies.
Get combos to rack up your score! have fun :)
fixed a gamebreaking bug allowing u to escape the arena
- Can no longer dash while in a frenzy
Hello, I'm a slime and I need your help to get out of this dungeon. I count on you to resolve the puzzles, because I don't have so much power alone.
Think carefully and enjoy this game :).
This puzzle game was made by Euler Moisés and Felipe Inoue (me) for the GBJam8.
We are from Brazil!!! Let us know what you think! :)
This is basically a graphics and sound remake of Super Mario Bros. (Authentic) By MattHughson so please give him some credit too.
Also I made a special thing I'd like to call Super COINED Bros.
Procedural Hills Example
with parallax and snow tops!
Wouldn’t be possible without help from the great community on the Pico-8 Discord.
Use left and right keys arrows to move.
Restart cart to get different hills and snow.
Just in time for GBJAM8.
I had to remove the breakable pots to conserve tokens.
I am literally at 8192 tokens even after making even more optimizations!
I had to add the key and door to exit the stage.
I just realized I didn't upload this project from early August!
Controls: Arrow Keys, ('z' or 'c' to select on the Menu)
In the tradition of so many "collect items while something chases you' games, I present Clipping. In this game, you won't see what is closing in. Instead, the screen shrinks as something get closer.
Clipping was developed for the LOWREZJAM2020. Please enjoy my first ever horror game!

- X Button : Jump
How To Play:
- Clear the sewers and collect that money!
- Down Baddies by hitting the platforms under them, but watch out! Some Baddies are trickier to down than others!
- Kick the downed Baddies to increase your score and make a coin appear!
- Don't touch the Baddies when they're up, or else you'll die!
- Use the POW Block to instantly shake every platform!
- Don't stay in one place too long, or a deadly fireball may try to get you!
- If you die, you'll re-spawn (if you have lives, of course) with invincibility for a short amount of time; use it wisely!
Current Features:
- Simultaneous Two Player Gameplay
- An original Baddie (Stomp on Kuribo/Goomba's head to down them!)
- 4 Baddie types (Shellcreeper, Kuribo/Goomba, Fighter Fly, and Sidestepper)
- Red Fireballs
- POW Block
- Music that's kind of repetitive and annoying to be honest
- Respawn invincibility (thanks @SmellyFishstiks!)
In Progress Features:
- Freezie and frozen platforms
- Angry Baddies (after being down for a little while, Baddies become angrier after getting up)
Planned Features:
("???" are "probably nots")
- Progressive difficulty
- 1UPs based on score/coins
- Leaderboards
- More palettes for plumbers
- Green Fireballs (slower than red Fireballs, thus making a spot more dangerous for longer)
- ??? Better/longer music
- ??? 4 players
- ??? Online multiplayer
Known Bugs:
- When spawning Luigi, his palettes are Mario's. (This is due to the fade function, and shouldn't be too hard to fix)
- Sometimes when a plumber dies, he ascends to the heavens. Unfortunately, as everybody knows, plumbers are unclean, sinful creatures that shouldn't ascend to the heavens.
- Downed Baddies don't get up after a POW shake (feature?)
- When stomping at certain angle, the Kuribo will be knocked off despite only being touched once
Let me know if you find anymore bugs!
Changelog

v0.02
- Added to Cartiverse
I'm developing KONSAIRI, a game I've been working on for a while now that I'm finalizing and checking throughout the game.
As I mentioned before, the goal of the game is to move back and forth between 16 different areas to reach the final destination.
However, it seemed to feel like the same old thing before you even reach halfway through the game.
That's why i added Dungeon mode, which changes the look and feel of the adventure dramatically.
Not only do you take damage when you touch an enemy, but there are hidden passages and hints scattered throughout the game that will help you get to the true ending.
When you stand in front of an enemy, you will see a timing gauge.
It's not for attacking, but for getting through to the enemy's rear.
A well-timed "step move" will allow you to move forward with no damage.
If time passes, you will be damaged.
If you move away from the spot, you can avoid the danger.
You can bring in items, throw them and use skills.
You can open doors, read hints, light up and explore, and more...!
KONSAIRI TRIAL version
Hey again. Goober here.
This revision has me REALLY looking in every little nook and cranny I can find
to get precious tokens. I've had to resort to utilizing SECRET SPECIAL tricks
to making sure I can load as much data as possible while not using very many
tokens at all. In the beginning of my code I've created a special function:
-- handy token-saving function
glb =_𝘦𝘯𝘷
function vars(...)
local a={...}
local b=split(a[1],",")
local c=2
for i in all(b) do
glb[i]=a[c]
c+=1
end
end |
Pair this with one of my modules - the dialog module, for example:
vars("dlg_active,dlg_id,dlg_port,dlg_snd,dlg_tpos1,dlg_tpos2,dlg_text1,dlg_text2,dlg_next,dlg_pside,dlg_cblnk,dlg_done",
false,nil,0,
0,0,0,
"","",0,
left,0,0
) |
This will allow me to assign multiple global variables while saving about 1/3
of the tokens. A lot of data is being converted to strings in order to save
more and more tokens. Data which doesn't need to be written to very often
may also be stored together in strings, but I haven't really gotten to that
point yet.
What will PROBABLY happen is that I'll start looking into using peek/poke
for reading and writing data. One of the problems with using poke, though, is
that each call to this is 4 tokens. [poke ( offset , value]. The ending brace
doesn't count. Peeking is about the same. Even with shorthand peeking, it takes
four tokens to assign a value.
But, there are some features added to this version!
-
When attacking and killing bats, their spheara (currency is souls) is sucked
in by the magic lantern. When the lantern takes the soul, it glows bright for
a split second. -
It's now possible to die.
While it's not possible to be hurt by the bats
right now(fixed this), you can die from spikes or falling into the water at the bottom of
the stage. This results in a neat effect! Also, when you die, a password is
displayed. While this password doesn't serve any purpose right now, I'm planning
on allowing players to input their password upon startup. - You still can't end the level yet. The key actor has not yet been implemented.
Because I'm out of tokens right now, I'll need to save some more before I can
implement this. It's in the works!
I think that's it for now. See ya!

Information
This is a simulation of the commercial Enigma D and K cipher machines.
K being an updated version of D that retains the same functionality.
For more information on Enigma D and K, as well as other Enigma machines, and other cipher machines, visit:
https://www.cryptomuseum.com/crypto/enigma/d/index.htm
The information in Crypto Museum was very helpful for making this simulator.
Controls
-
Control the mouse pointer with the arrow keys, and click a button, or letter of the on-screen keyboard with the 'Z' key.
Or enable the mouse by pressing the 'X' key and click with the left button. -
Swap the left and middle, or the middle and right rotor's positions with the two diamonds in the rotors section.
-
Change the ring settings with the left and right arrows in the ring settings section.
-
Change the initial rotor positions with the up and down arrows in the rotors section.
- Enter the letter you want to encrypt in the keyboard section. The letter it encrypts as will light up.
To decrypt a message, set the settings to what they were at the start of the message that was encrypted, and enter the encrypted text.
You have to manually write down or type each letter outside the program during encryption or decryption. As there is no space, you will have to omit spaces, or use an uncommon letter to represent space, like 'X'.
*The rotor marked UKW on the left is the reflector. It is separate from the other rotors and does not move during operation, only when you change its ring setting and position. It also cannot be swapped with the other rotors.
I generated a map and use mset to update the sprites on the map. But when I tested to print out the sprite number using mget and the coordinates of my cursor, it always returns the same sprite number. I am confused about where I did wrong.
This is what I use for drawing the map and updating.
function draw_game()
map(0,0,0,0,16,16)
update_map()
draw_house()
draw_cows()
cow_grazing_anim()
draw_cursor()
print("⧗:"..game_time,60,8,1)
end
function update_map()
for g in all(grass) do
mset(g.x,g.y,g.s)
end
end
|
And I use this to check with mget, it returns all the same sprite number.
if btnp(4) then
--state=2
local t=mget(to_grid(cs.x,cs.y))
printh("x:"..cs.x.."y:"..cs.y..",spr:"..t)
end
|
I attached an image with the map I draw and the grass sprite should be from 50 to 53 but I get like all 53 or all 52. which is weird. I have attached my cartridge below, would be great if someone enlighten me on what I did wrong.

Every Extend Extra
UPDATE 3RD SEPTEMBER 2020 16:28 PM:
- Fixed various typos
- Made bullets bigger and flashy, but same small hitbox (middle circle)
- You now need a higher chain for an extend based on quicken count
- There is now a bar on the left which is based on time. The higher your time, the more points you get per chain, but take more damage + lose more time based on how high it is
Every Extend Extra is an arcade game about detonating your ship, causing colourful chain reactions in the enemies, granting you points.
This game is my attempt at demaking it, as it's one of my favourite PSP games of all time and I thought it could do with some well deserved love.
Features:
- Gameplay highly similar to the original, but in a small replayable Pico 8 format
- 4 unique backgrounds, songs, and basic enemy sprites, giving you replayability options if you get bored of another
- 4 upbeat and catchy songs from the Pico Tunes V2 album, by @Gruber
- Lots of colourful explosions
- Probably a lot of gameovers!
Controls:
- Z to slow down your ship
- X to detonate
- Z and then X held to delay an explosion
- Arrows to move
I put a lot of effort into this game. I hope you enjoy playing it just as much I enjoyed making it!
This is a demo for a way to store console-size game worlds on a Pico-8 cart, which later became my PicoMap system. It contains every level and sublevel map from the original Super Mario Bros., and you can run and jump through all of them. There's no level progression, sound, or things to interact with besides platforms, but the map data includes placeholders for enemy spawn points and interactive objects, just uncomment a line in the init() function to make these visible. I'm not planning to release the finished game, as I don't want it to be taken down for copyright reasons, but I wanted to show some definitive proof that large-scale games are possible on Pico-8.
Controls:
L/R-------Move
Z---------Run
X---------Jump
Up/down---Select Level
Up+down---Restart Level
Cart Technical Info:
- Uses standard sprite flags for map interaction
- 60fps w/ CPU usage between 11-25%
- 1352 tokens, including streamlined platformer engine and graphics/map decompression systems
- 35% of compressed storage limit
- All maps contained in 3.9KB of binary data in map area
- No data stored in the 8KB spritesheet
The big thing is the last point on the list. Instead of storing the nearly-incompressible level data in strings, I instead store the spritesheet in a string because it compresses over 2:1, leaving a full 12KB of potential level storage space. This means that while leaving the majority of compressed data capacity and token count unused, 3 copies of every Super Mario Bros. level could fit on the cart! By my estimates, This should be more than enough to store the worlds of many NES-era games, with space left over for the extra graphics and sound assets. For example, all the level maps from the original Mega Man fit in less than 6KB.
This demo was built entirely in Pico-8, using an early version of my PicoMap system, the latest version of which you can find here: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=42848
Mea's Castle
Mea's Castle is a Metroidvania-like Game: You're a little Adventurer and your Goal is to find the "Cup of Hope". You can run and jump, and soon you will find some Artifacts that'll give you more Abilities.
🠔🠖 - Move
🠗 + 🠔🠖 - Crouch
(Z) - Jump
(X) + 🠗 - Use the last Powerup
Warning
This Game is difficult. If you're not a Fan of Jump'n Run-like Games, I think it will be too frustrating^^. There are still Checkpoints basically everywhere, but it's still not easy to beat that Game. Expect to die a lot while playing this^^.

Asteroid Miner's Flight Training Manual
Up - Thrust
Left/Right - Turn Left/Right
Down - Charge warp (requires fuel)
X - Fire Weapon
Z - Dock at station / tractor beam (requires purchase)
Congratulations on your purchase of the Arrow-class shuttle. This shuttle is rated for asteroid mining and is equipped with a mk1 blaster for destroying asteroids and self-defense. You will also find a warp drive pre-installed, allowing jumps to new systems in deep space. An asteroid-scoop allows easy ore collection by simply flying into floating pieces of ore. Finally, expansion slots allow room for upgrades such as a tractor beam, IFF radar, and powerful mining lasers. These upgrades can be purchased and installed by licensed technicians found at space stations across the galaxy.
Asteroid mining is an extremely profitable enterprise for any intrepid pilot willing to take their vessel into deep space. With some luck, a good captain can score an early retirement in short order! Safe flying, captain!
Tips n' Tricks
- Shoot and destroy asteroids to reveal ore. Acquire ore by flying over it.
- Dock at space stations to purchase fuel and upgrades with ore.
- Once you've cleared out a system of asteroids, use fuel to warp to the next system.
- Ensure you always have enough ore to purchase fuel, or you may become stranded in deep space!
- Watch out for space pirates who will attempt to destroy you. The farther you warp into deep space, the more dangerous and numerous they become! Defend yourself with your ship's blaster.
- Be wary, if you linger in a system for too long, pirates will track you down!
- Once you've collected enough ore to live out a long and healthy life, you can choose to RETIRE at any space station.
- If you take damage you can buy a REPAIR at any space station.
