Hi! This is a PICO-8 port of Maverick Bird, a Flappy Bird fangame originally created in 2014 by Terry Cavanagh. I created it in about two evenings purely on a whim, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Jukio Kallio's track "Vietnam", which featured in the original, was remade for this port by a friend named MH.

(If you want to play the original Maverick Bird, you can try the original Flash version if you have Ruffle, or check it out in Terry's upcoming collection Terry's Other Games!)

repro steps:

  • run cart bitplane_grid-3 in the web player
  • press ctrl-c
  • paste into an external text editor

expected behavior: clipboard should have poke(0x5f5e,0xff) in it
actual behavior: clipboard is unchanged (my specs: linux, firefox, 0.2.6c dev8)

(cart from here)

Maybe this is a known bug, which is part of why it's "0.2.6cdev8" instead of "0.2.6c"? But here's a ping just in case you don't know about it @zep. (web clipboard stuff seems like a huge pain, I don't envy you trying to fix it...)


The cart has some debug print statements -- open the browser dev tools and you can see it print out "copying str:" right before calling printh(str,'@clip'). I noticed there's no red "press c to copy" prompt that the web player used to show, maybe that's a clue.

possibly world's first blobtroidvania... no upgrades, no hp, no dying, no checkpoints, no jumping, no problem

i do not recommend trying an all-skulls run until you've finished a normal run at least once!

My First PICO-8 Project!

This is my first small project in PICO-8! 🎉 Inspired by classic lowrider hydraulics, I wanted to create a simple but fun bouncing car simulation. I might expand on this idea in the future!

How to Play

Control the hydraulics of your lowrider and make it bounce!

⬆️ Up → Raise the car
⬇️ Down → Lower the car

  • The car stops at three height levels and has a slight bounce effect at each stop.
  • When fully lowered, sparks and glowing stars appear! ✨

Features

  • Smooth hydraulics animation 🛠️
  • Fun visual effects: sparks & twinkling stars when hitting the lowest point 🌟🔥
  • Simple but satisfying movement
  • A sound effect when lowering and lifting the car 🎵

Future Plans

I might add more lowrider moves, different cars, or even a full lowrider simulator! Stay tuned!

Hope you enjoy my first PICO-8 project! 😊 Let me know what you think!

A demake of the NES game Yoshi. My first attempt at a pico-8 game so it's neither complete nor great, and I took a lot of "artistic liberties". Could be worth checking out for the nightmare-fuel Yoshi on the title screen, though.

Hey everyone, it's been a long time!

For the Global Game Jam 2025, we've made a small game with AntonOTI and Jirolondon, about using an old bubble toy to make important life decisions. The game is short, the vibe absurd, and we've just released an update with an english translation, which is why we're sharing it with you now here.

Hope you'll like it!

I've been trying out Pico-8 for a couple weeks now, mostly to prototype a couple game ideas, but got the idea in my head to try and emulate 2d sprite normal mapping for dynamic lighting. 24 hours later, this is the initial result.

About Normal Maps

Normal maps are traditionally used in 3D games to give texture to otherwise flat polygon faces, but more modern 2D and 2.5D games also make use of normal maps, usually for lighting effects. A normal map itself is just a image, usually laid out to match the base color (sometimes called albedo) map of the model/sprite, but for the normal map, the RGB values of each pixel correspond to the XYZ facing of that pixel, relative to the face of the polygon/sprite.

Circles appear with random sizes in cyan, "magenta" (pink), and yellow, and colors drawn over each other mix together.
Press ❎ to clear the screen
Press 🅾️ to switch to RGB (Same palette, but reversed)

I've had an idea for an idle/incremental game that I've been thinking about for awhile, but I never started working on it because the game would involve mixing colors, and I had no clue how I would do that. But recently I learned about bitplanes, and how they can be used to choose draw color based on what pixels were already there, rather than simply overriding them with the selected color.

This an example of using bitplanes to merge colors, using a custom palette and poke(0x5F5E) to change which color is drawn. The first palette is the default palette, while the subsequent three palettes show what everything becomes when the indicated color is drawn over them

I had a dream last night, I was in a mushroom cave and all I could do was to walk. There were misterious potions lying around and each one of them gave me a certain ability. One made me jump the other made me dash around, but with every sip I felt how my body rottens from the poison I just drank. I tried to escape, but no matter how many keys I collected, I failed. I was dreaming... was I?

How to play:

  • your default move set is walk left and right
  • drink potions to gain additional abilities (jump, dash)
  • each potion is poisoned and you can eventually die from its effect
  • as long as your poison meter is filled, your abilities are working
  • refill the poison to maintain abilities

Here's a medieval procedural world generator I'm working on. It has a few different biomes, buildings and roads.
I'm thinking of turning it into some sort of Trial of the Sorcerer sequel.

Instructions

Give it a minute to generate the world, then open the pause menu and choose "explore world" to explore it in ray cast 3D.

There's no gameplay yet, just walk around and explore.

In the generator you can also use the direction pad to scroll around, and zoom in/out with X and O.

I made this set of emoji for the BBS! I don't know if anyone's done this before, but I thought I'd give it a shot, it was pretty fun. If you have any emoji you want me to add, let me know!

Wanted to make the lazermaze board game in pico8! this is an early WIP of the project. Obviously missing features and levels, but just want to showcase the mirror functions.
