About
Picotan is a simple but addictive brick-breaker game inspired by the original BBTAN (2015), and similar titles Ballz (2017), Holedown (2018), Piffle (2018).
Instructions
- Launch balls at bricks and destroy as many as possible in a single turn
- Each time a ball hits a brick, that brick's health reduces by one
- Once a brick reaches zero health, it is destroyed
- New bricks will spawn with more health after each round
- If a brick reaches the bottom of the screen, the game is over
- Try and reach the highest score possible!
Controls
This game supports keyboard, gamepad, mouse, and touch input, all of which can be switched between on the fly.
- Z / Left mouse (hold): Aim shot
- Z / Left mouse (release while aiming): Launch balls
- X / Right mouse (release while aiming): Cancel aim mode
- X / Right mouse (release while launching): Recall all balls / skips current turn
- You can also press the Recall button that appears while launching

This is a small game I made in order to get better at using PICO-8. I likely won't come back to improve it, but I thought I should post it anyway.

Is it going to be possible to have 2-player, online play with picotron?
I've seen some stuff with chat (that I never got to work). Is a 2-player picotron game in real-time feasible for the future? Can it be done now?

Dream Ghoul is a small, silly game I made my for wife for her favorite time of year. Find the keys, grab the hearts, and meet your dream ghoul! Just move around with your arrow keys and try not to bump into things. (Or do bump into things; it's funny to watch!)
I hope it amuses you for a minute or so.
back story
I'm a professional software engineer with more than 30 years experience, but have been having a blast learning game development with Pico-8 the past few months. I drew the main character one evening and built a tiny game around him. This is my first game I've shared publicly. Thanks to Lazy Devs Academy for the great tutorials and Caitlin for the inspiration.

I'm taking an AI class and though I would give it a try to write a game. I keep putting off learning how to do things in PICO-8 and maybe this will be the gateway into diving in closer.

- Cryptomancer - A fun puzzle game about solving ice block puzzles tring to put out flames. [7.5/10]
- Pico-Ball - The best Pico-8 game I've ever played, surpassing my love for Just One Boss! (Which is saying a lot.) [9.5/10]
I'll review these both more in-depth in the future..

A fake pause menu for meta-shenanigans in a pico8 game! Inspired by Voices of the Void, I wanted to recreate a framework to fake pico8's built in pause menu. It can't actually favorite or adjust settings (I don't think). Now includes a little ghost pal!
Explanation of methods:
The basic functionality comes from the capability to detect the pause menu button with btnp(6). This alone doesn't stop the real pause menu from appearing. With a poke(0x5f30,1) we can temporarily suppress (not prevent) the pause menu from being activated for this frame.
Now, it's just a matter of recreating the pause menu as close as possible. The pause menu changes based on if it was launched from splore, run from the prompt, or in the bbs. We can deduce a few things from different stat calls.

Hello! I have a sneak-peak to show my upcoming game: Snail's Gold 2. It's entirely map based, 0 tutorials used, all me. (Unlike the first game.) So how it works, and why you can't move down on some tiles, and why there's no gravity, and why you can't do some stuff when walking, is you are only able to walk forward on air tiles and go down on ladder tiles.
I haven't been working on this for a while, but I think it's time to work on it again.

WARNING: Contains flashing. Also this is not a game.
Controls:
- X to speed up text and move to next scene.
- Left/right arrows to move between scenes.
I became interested in Greek myths and thought I'd turn the stories into some pico-8 carts. I first started with 150 scenes but it was too big. I settled for just under 90 scenes with some sacrifices made around the code generated graphics.

Warning
This tool overwrites saves from other carts. Make sure you know what you are doing.
Controls
Instructions on which keys or buttons to press are displayed on screen at all times.
Note: pause menu is supressed in keyboard mode, hold ENTER or P for a second to display it.
Context
- PICO-8 executables save cartdata as text files in the cdata folder.
- BBS javascript, on the other hand, is limited to your browser's internal storage, which is a lot less convenient for users to access directly.
Purpose
This tool allows you to easily transfer your progress between PICO-8 installations, particularly from/to the BBS. It also allows you to edit your saves on the fly.
