PICO8

In the Lich King's Gauntlet, you play as a wizard competing in a deadly tournament. Fully utilize your fireball and dash abilities in frantic combat against various types of wizards. Will you survive all the rounds for a chance to fight the Lord Supreme himself? The game was made for the Minigame a Month Jam - May 24, with a theme of “Wizards”.

There are so many Pico-8 creators out there. It's amazing the quality of most of them. Pico-8 has carved out a niche in the gaming community by making it possible to create 'simple', but engaging fun games. In fact, there are individuals who have dedicated themselves to making Pico-8 games as a profession. Johan Peitz is such an individual. He has created several amazing Pico-8 games and tools, and even sells them on Steam!

This is an incomplete list of his Pico-8 creations:

• Orb of Aeternum
• Shadow King
• Golf Monday
• Cosmic Collapse
• Hellgineers
• Outbreak
• Ascent
• picoCAD
• picoSYNTH

Check out his stuff on Lexaloffle, Patron, and itch.io!

What have I missed and which is your favorite? I'm a big fan of Shadow King, but I'm very poor at it :(

Knight and Prison of Ice is a roguelite action-adventure game where you play as a knight bound to his quest through a frozen expanse. Navigate the perils of the labyrinth, vanquish the three guardians, and rescue your beloved from this icy prison.

Just discovering the amazing Pico-8 games and I noticed my Miyoo Mini with OnionOS has Pico8 emulation.

However, I imagine one would need cartridges for it and not binaries - but cartridges are rarely distributed on platforms like itch.io.

Can anyone tell me how the ecosystem is supposed to work?

Hi everyone! I just submitted https://voidgazerbon.itch.io/dungeon-of-numeromancy to Improve my game jam 30, after major overhaul. You can ready the devlog here. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Description: Dungeon of Numeromancy is a dungeon crawler with math-based combat. You battle your foes by answering mathematical quiz questions, where correct answers unleash powerful spells that damage the monsters. Answering incorrectly and the attack will fail, allowing the monster to strike.

I created this community but I don’t spend a lot of time on lemmy atm. I would like for at least someone else to also have mod powers in case something needs to be done.

Abysmal Ascent is a platformer with roguelike elements. You play as a desperate mage, trapped deep underground and determined to escape the treacherous depths. Harness your arcane powers, overcome deadly enemies, and face off against formidable foes as you ascend through procedurally generated environments.

Hi all, I just submitted my game to Cre8 Jam. https://voidgazerbon.itch.io/sorted-inc In Sorted Inc. you are in charge of a fully automated robot assembly line. But is there even such a thing as "fully automated"? With every completed robot, the factory's pace quickens, and your precision is put to the test. Can you keep up with the relentless pace of the factory floor and prove your worth as the ultimate sorting robot?

So I'm thinking this PICO-8 community could use a list of resources. I'm pretty sure I've seen an "awesome" list as well as a list of links on (ahem) another link aggregator site... If no one else compiles one, I may end up doing it.

I saw this community on trending and looked up what a PICO8 is and thought it was a pretty interesting concept. I’m curious what some of the best games on the platform are in your opinion.
