Since Pico-8 can access the local time and date (as well as UTC time), I made some clocks. Stat 90 to 92 will also give year, month and day so calendar can also be made.

Tomb Boom
A Hardcore Platformer
My first ever actually released game. Tomb Boom is a (hopefully) challenging platformer about navigating a graveyard by using exploding bombs to get to new heights.
This game was built as part of a self-imposed game jam in which I tried to make the best finished product I could in a week (plus a day or two of watching youtube videos to learn lua - I have only made games in c#/xna in the past).
This is also the first time I've had to make my own sprites, tileset, and sfx from scratch, which was a fun challenge.
Hope you have fun, feel free to send me your times (with or without collecting all the skulls!)

Perfect 100
A grid hopping game. Fill the grid counting from 0 to 99.
The goal of the game is to fill in the cells of the grid with numbers going from 0 to 99 to form a Perfect matrix of 100. The rules are simple: move vertical, horizontal or diagonal skipping 2 cells (horizontal or vertical) or 1 cell (diagonal).
The green cursor lets you select your next move. Press the 1st button to cycle between choices, press the 2nd button to confirm the move.
Restart the game if you get stuck and can't move.
Can you reach 99? :P
I made this for the #TweetTweetJam 10 on May 2025. It is written in Pico-8 and the code is 500 characters long. Credit to https://thisismypassport.github.io/shrinko8/ for an excellent tool to shrink the code.

Hello
I am running Picotron in full screen mode on Arch Linux with a window manager (i3), and when I try to move the mouse to another window located on my secondary monitor, it teleports the cursor back to the center of the Picotron window.
This isn't a huge deal, and I don't know if it can be fixed, but it's inconvenient enough that I figured I'd share it here.

Hello, I'm making a small clock and date app, It's already on my widget tray as a widget, I'd like to be able to have it on the corner of my desktop when starting up, I found it is done by modifying startup.lua, is there a way to do that and save the changes?
