The zombies are trying to eat your brain! Grow a plant infantry to stop them!
(Warning: not very mobile-friendly!)
A demake of the first world of the original Plants vs. Zombies.
10 levels, 8 different plants, 5 different zombies, 3 complete songs!
I couldn't fit the two mini-games on it, sadly.
My buddy @Gimbernau and I gave ourselves 30 days to do this entire thing, and what a ride it was. Because of the token limit, I decided not to put instructions inside the game, so there's a "How to play" section down below.
I hope you enjoy! If you have some thoughts about the game or if you find any bugs, please leave a comment in the comment section :)
PS.: There is another version of PvZ here in the forum! It's an endless reinplementation made by @gfcarstensen that is super fun! Check it out here: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=51588#p

Came across this fun little algorithm today, thought I'd try it out.
Left and right rotate the camera, up moves forward.
Some serious artifacts going on still, but I'm fairly happy with how simple it was to implement. Had some fun generating the maps as well.
Hi, here's a cover of Board of Canada's Roygbiv in Pico-8 (with its new sound effects) playing over a tweetcart synced to the music. Because, well, I love BoC and Pico-8 :). Also playing in pattern mode on YouTube where you may also enjoy the original music.
You can play the tweetcart along your own Pico-8 music and it'll sync to it as well. Or it'll play at its own pace if there' no music.
Hope you'll enjoy.

controls
roll - x/c
pitch - up/down (not inverted)
yaw - left/right
unfortunately the area you can explore is not very big in v1.0 and you can continue to fly out of bounds. Once you reach the edge of the stars, just turn around.
go on to explore the stars!
Is it possible to trigger a glitch reset from code, like CTRL+R looks? I know there are code snippets that do small pokes to memory, but I was wondering if there's a way to make it closer to (or exactly!) like how CTRL+R.
Thanks!

Here is my Pico-8 version of Cargobot. It was an iPad game from 2012 developed on an Ipad.
Cargobot is a puzzle game where the player commands a robot to sort crates.
If you stock the crates too high the robot will crash.
The robot will also crash into the side of the wall when the incorrect instructions are given.
There are 7 categories (tutorials, easy, medium, hard, crazy, impossible, bonus) with 40 levels in total.
Each level can be solved in many ways.
The goal is to earn 3 stars for each level by solving the level in as few registers as possible.
The earned stars are saved in cdata.
The progress made per level (implemented actions, conditions) is saved in cstore.
The speed of the robot can be configured in the menu. Where you also can find a hint per level.
If you find a solution with less registers as indicated in the level select screen, you can always post a screenshot here.
Have fun!
I've lately been working with image compression routines which output strings, and I've been able to increase efficiency and versatility by using as wide a range of characters to store data as possible. I've grown a bit frustrated at times, though, because any strings which use Puny font characters don't show up correctly unless I go into Puny Font mode. There have been a number of times I couldn't get things to work, and spent time debugging my code, only to realize that the problem was that I forgot to press Ctrl+P.
I know it's not a big issue, and it can be worked around, but it's kind of inconsistent how strings can be created with Puny characters at any time, but you have to enter a certain mode to view the output correctly. Is it possible this could be changed without breaking some other feature? I mean, is there any way to let the program know that a string has been created by Pico-8 and therefore display it as intended?
This font is inspired by the font that's used on the PICO-8 booting screen. Most characters below 128 have been changed while most wide characters remain unchanged.
The decoration feature of PICO-8 v0.2.2 could also be useful to also draw dakuten / handakuten marks above the kana characters, rather than to the side of them, but sadly, since the current syntax only allows them to be shifted horizontally between -2 and 1 pixels.
Maybe it's worth it to adjust the "\v" character syntax so that it works differently after wide characters, or add a different one where the horizontal shifts use 3 bits instead of 2 (and allow for horizontal adjustments between -4 and 3 pixels?).

A little demo of a water sprite, inspired heavily by 7DRL game A Root Path. I wanted to see if I can replicate the art style and add some little glowy lightning effects to it.
Messing around with some collision detection. Up and down modify gravity, left and right push the ball in the corresponding direction.
Code is a mess, read at your own risk. Currently only handles static obstacles -- shouldn't be too hard to add once you know the contact point but didn't really feel the need, I've already had my fun with it :)
I made this game for a weeklong jam where the theme was "Spinning," and I'm really happy with how it turned out. It's a short bullet hell that forces you to get a little closer to the enemies than games in this genre typically do! Mastering the sword might take some time, but once you start to get a feel for the movement it's fun to play around with (imho, of course). Let me know what you think! Any feedback is welcome.
You'll have to forgive the programmer art, it's the best I can do on my own unfortunately. This was also my first time making music of any kind, and I decided to remix a song called "Jack of all Trades" by CaseJackal. You should definitely check out the original! It has a lot more depth than my 1-minute loop :P

Here is my second game on PICO-8: Eleni Foot Bag. Inspired by California Games, a game I played in my childhood on the Sega Master System, and in particular the foot bag mini-game, I'm testing myself on recreating this one, with personalized graphics and sounds.
Controls:
- ⬅️ and ➡️ to move Eleni,
- ❎ for using the foot and the knee,
- ⬅️ + ❎ for using the right heel,
- ➡️ + ❎ for using the left heel,
- 🅾️ for jumping (for using the head).
Each bodypart that shoots the ball gains:
- 1 point for the foot or for the knee,
- 2 points for the right heel or for the left heel,
- 3 points for the head.
If your combo is a multiple of 10 when you shoot, the points are doubled.
If you shoot the pigeon, you earn 8 points.
I wish you good scores and good game.
Hi,
I played around with Pico-8 and wanted a fancy way to build and run
custom cart when the idea came to me like the urge to go π :
I NEEDED A DEDICATED SPLORE SERVER !
One hour later it was alive
Showing custom list and loading whatever I want directly from SPLORE.
I was surprised at how simple it is to make a proxy.
First I edited "drivers\etc\hosts" but it lacked flexibility...
Then I came up with the idea of replacing wininet.dll by a custom script.
That way you just put (or remove) the file near pico.exe and start it.
No user hack, no patch, no third party.
You can make your own proxy with the MASM32 code below
(I think I can share it with you because it does not disclose any flaws or infringe any copyright)
(The code of the server may be more sensitive to disclose)
Anyway, I swear that no "pico8.exe" were harmed during the making of this progam.
Unfortunately while the dedicated server works perfectly, the SPLORE internal cache ttl make it useless for its original purpose (eg:dynamic build and run).
If you have any new idea to use such a product let me know.
