PICO-8 is a fantasy console for making, sharing and playing tiny games. We used PICO-8 for the first time this LD, and absolutely loved it - I wanted to share what awesome things you can make with it and hopefully have a few more PICO-8 games next time round!

I spent a couple of days playing all the PICO-8 games I could find that people have made for this Ludum Dare, and listed them here. Try some out and see what you think about PICO-8! If I've missed any (and I'm sure I have!) please let me know and I'll add them to the list :slight_smile:

All of these games are playable on the Web, as well as on mobile!

Domain of the Time Wizard

A little action adventure game where you must find the three time orbs to finally beat the evil time wizard!

Soulbound

An action/puzzle game where you must retrieve the Soul Gem from its underground lair. But what strange powers does the gem hold?

Mines of Movania

A puzzle game about redirecting minecarts to the correct exit, only using the track you currently have - which the cart is probably using!

 Stuck in the Sewers

You play as a rat who just wants to go on vacation - but sadly you're stuck in the sewers! Make your way through a labyrinth of pipes to eventually reach your holiday!

Flying Saucer Scramble

Draw loops around the enemy spaceships before they shoot you!

Breadcrumbs

A small puzzle game about finding your way out of a maze. Use the breadcrumbs to mark where you have been - beware the birds don't eat them though! And - did I just see a person...?

Super Jump Guy

Make sure you play this years hottest new platformer! Maybe once more! Again?

For { }

A fiendishly hard Sokoban type puzzle game where programs are executed based on where the blocks are in the world. Packed full of fun little features!

Orbitary

Orbit around the planet for as long as you can, picking up data packets. Lightning, asteroids, comets and more will make your job difficult - how long can you last?

Not Enough

Your attempts at escape are good, but... NOT ENOUGH

Swing-by

Another orbiting game - this time escape an exploding core by using planet's gravity to increase your speed! Swing round and jump from planet to planet.

Swop

Get to the flag by pushing around bubbles that can swap the path you can walk on. The puzzles get pretty tricky!

Anything can happen in office hours... play as the manager in this office simulator. Deal with customers, wipe up spills, call the guards, pick up a knife...??!!?
