As someone who loves making and playing games in the fantasy console Pico-8, I thought I'd share all of the Pico-8 games made and submitted to Ludum Dare 56 that I was able to find, please go show some support and give them all a play and some feedback. (If I somehow missed yours, I'm so incredibly sorry! Please leave a link to it in the comments and I'll add it.) In no particular order:
