This is my first pico-8 game! I made it to give out pre-loaded onto a few Miyoo A30 retro handhelds as a thank you gift at my bachelor party (so some of the ending text is specialized for that context).
I would appreciate any feedback that I can incorporate into my next games. Thank you for checking it out!
How to Play:
- Move with the d-pad.
- Jump with x (the in-game tutorial says a because that's the label on the Miyoo A30)
- Grab/throw with o. You need to be on top of the object to grab it.
- Drop through platforms with down+x.
- Place an item directly in front of you (without throwing) with down+o.
This is the file name input code for writing a .p8l file with printh.
The following characters are excluded from input to make it safe to enter file names:
'\\/:*?"<>|!\'#$%&()+-*^=~`@{}[]<>,.;' |
If these characters are included in the file name, an error will occur and I have experienced my edited data being ruined. This is to prevent this from happening.
By the way, there is no reference document for the excluded characters, and it seems that there are more characters that pico8 cannot handle in file names than the host OS.
I have not checked the excluded characters in detail and have set them based on a guess. Has anyone checked all the excluded characters?
SOKOVILLE is a game I have been working on for a few months in Love2D. At its core, it is a sokoban-like puzzle game. You solve puzzles throughout the world, which enable you to help characters in that world.
A simple example is: There is a boy in the town who is missing his dog. You're in the forest and you come across the dog. You need to push blocks to make a way out of the forest, and you also need to push the dog out of the forest and back to its owner.
This Pico-8 version is a demake of sorts, and is way for me to make a proof of concept for the game. It is meant to be a lightweight implementation , whose primary purpose is to get feedback for the main game.

Race a speed boat around a track. Controls are fast.
Its a little rough, but I'm considering it feature complete at this stage.
Enjoy!
Technically I've learnt a bit about dynamic features.
For instance, the speedboat on the menu is moving itself, the waves are dynamically generated, and bouncing off the wall is based on your angle of hitting it.
A (barely) unfinished game I made a few years ago. Like 2048, but instead of numbers, you have chess pieces! They will move in the direction you press, but they'll choose at random if there's multiple options. A piece can capture a piece of the same type and upgrade!
Pieces upgrade as follows:
Pawn -> Rook -> Knight -> Bishop -> Queen
Two White Queens combine into a Black Pawn. Black pieces upgrade similarly, but with a twist: a black piece can also capture a white piece of the same type, and it simply destroys it with no reward!
The win condition wasn't implemented, but you should consider it a victory if you manage to create and combine two Black Queens.
